Milano’s Politics and Advocacy Boot Camp #2: Effective Advocacy From the Grass Roots to the Legislature and City Hall
Ever feel frustrated that policymakers aren’t listening? Disillusioned that someone your organization worked to elect no longer heeds your counsel? Unable to cut through the clutter of all the voices vying for policymakers’ attention?
Then we have the course for you.
This intensive summer New School workshop covers all aspects of advocacy in four intensive sessions. Drawing on readings, case studies, and the instructor’s experience as a community leader, scholar, and elected official, the course is a practical blueprint for anyone seeking to influence a policymaker in the executive or legislative branch. It culminates in the production of a full-length strategic advocacy plan centered on a topical issue of each student’s choice.
Along the way, students will learn how to craft a stakeholder analysis and message document, identify and exploit points of leverage, raise money and attract media attention, effectively mobilize supporters, and navigate the New York city and state political and budget processes.
