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:
Define the issues
Decide who Is affected and how they are affected by the issue
Decide what the main causes of the issue are
Generate possible solutions to the issue
Review proposed solutions to determine their impact on social justice
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.
