Advocacy Practice in Action

  • Advocacy Practice in Action
  • Using Hoefer’s “Understanding the Issue” Model (Chapter 4) do an analysis of the issue in a narrative format. This section should contain research, connection to legislation (as applicable depending on change issue you are analyzing), citations and statistical data, as appropriate.  Hoefer’s five-step analysis mode contains these areas:
    1. Define the issues
    2. Decide who Is affected and how they are affected by the issue
    3. Decide what the main causes of the issue are
    4. Generate possible solutions to the issue
    5. Review proposed solutions to determine their impact on social justice
    6. Discuss your own personal advocacy goals for the problem/population of interest, and reflect on your own strengths and areas for growth as a leader and advocate.
