Description

"The Lobbying Strategy Handbook gives students who are passionate about social change the tools they need to successfully influence law-making at the state and local level. The heart of this book is a 10-step strategic model that walks the reader through the essential elements of conducting a lobbying campaign from start to finish. The lobbying campaign model is clearly explained and illustrated by four case studies - and accompanying artifacts - that show how groups of students successfully used it to pass significant laws. The book unfolds with historical examples of pathbreaking social change legislation led by citizens and nonprofits, explains the motivations and impediments to lobbying, moves to a clear-cut explanation of the legal lobbying rules for nonprofit organizations, describes how federal state and local governments secure and spend money (and the political arguments affecting those decisions), and provides an illustrated guide to the legislative process. The 10-step model is bracketed by an explanation of how to effectively use technology in lobbying campaigns, and guidance about what to do once a bill has passed. Undergraduate, graduate students, and anyone interested in making a difference, can use the book to guide them in creating and conducting a grassroots campaign from start to finish"--
