Description: In this book, you will find a compelling focus on "policy advocacy" - policy practice geared toward helping oppressed, stigmatized, or powerless outgroups, including African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, women, children, gay men and lesbians, and people with disabilities. From agenda setting, problem analysis, and proposal writing to policy enactment, implementation, and assessment, you'll develop the skills you need to promote change in social welfare policy.
