Description
We created AdvocacyLabs as a joint initiative between FutureEd and 50CAN in 2019 to fill what we saw as a gap in the field: a lack of accessible materi- als that bridged the gap between academic research on effective advocacy and the practical advice that advocates needed to better serve America’s students.
Over the past four years we have highlighted more than 100 research studies across six reports and published 13 in-depth interviews with leading research- ers to provide insights on everything from effective lobbying strategies to tips for better engaging volun- teers and the best tactics for winning elections.
In this latest report, we dive into the world of community organizing to provide advocates with both a strong grounding in the history of the field and practical lessons that can be put to use right away. Through these six concise lessons, advocates will gain a better understanding of how community organizing efforts work and how to make them work better on behalf of people-powered campaigns that put the needs of students and their families first
