Module 2 Daniel McAlister SNHU Social Change Advocacy and Legislative Policy Importance of advocacy at South Carolina and Greenwood community levels Advocacy concerns with the activity carried out by a person or group with the aim of influencing decisions regarding political, economic alongside social systems and organizations. Lobbying form of advocacy involves direct approach made to the legislators based on the issue which performs an essential role in current politics. With regards to the State of South Carolina, the social change advocacy of the Greenwood community seeks to ensure its individuals who are vulnerable to have their problems heard through speaking. The community advocacy also provides defense and safeguarding of the citizens’ rights as well as having their ideas and wishes considered while making decisions on the individual’s lives (Coombs & Holladay, 2018). Greenwood community advocacy is essential in assisting individuals, groups, families, and organizations to address their social needs and concerns. The support focuses on the social change in addition to making the larger organizations within the region to improve their economic and social situations with regards to the legislative policies (Baranowski et al., 2016). Creating awareness to the public on proposed legislation Making the individuals of Greenwood community in South Carolina aware of the proposed legislative changes is through effectively communicating to the supportive community leaders, professionals and other citizens who can capably reach out the individuals through different campaigns. Involving the Greenwood community opinion leaders, clergymen, business people, newspaper columnists and heads of organizations will influence a large of people to promote the advocacy campaigns. Again, the community individuals can also acquire the change advocacy information through the labor unions or other organizations focusing on the change advocacy as they will offer sound advice to the citizens before any decision made (Wagner et al., 2015). Beginning and end of social change advocacy ` Social change advocacy begins with gathering the allies, then creating a coherent structure to coordinate the efforts, building off the solid foundation regarding the issues, defining the message, creating a reliable and effective communication network and cultivating the media. The community social change advocacy ends with taking the thorough view and getting prepared for keeping the changes as long as the issues exist. At the beginning of the social change advocacy regarding Greenwood community, the advocates establish, maintain and give updates to the allies through good communication approaches by the legislators and lawmakers (Baranowski et al., 2016). The communication networking involves forming good relationships with the legislators and their aides to inform the individuals affected by the change policy on the consequences made with their votes. The social change advocacy within the community develops and maintains the organized efforts that include the changes policy as well as getting involved in active legislative support. Public and private funding streams and differences South Carolina legislative system involves the use of both private and public funding streams to effectively manage the social change advocacy within the Greenwood community (Coombs & Holladay, 2018). However, several differences exist between the private and public sector organization-building legislative processes within the state. Public sector funding focuses on supporting the nation individuals as well as taking care of their interests while private sector fundamentally concerned with the creation of funding strategies to enable them to earn profits without considering the attention the community individuals will receive. The public funding sector also has a delay in the procurement process thus cannot adequately address the emergencies that may be required by the social change advocacy (Baranowski et al., 2016). Besides, the private sector has a quicker procurement process and does not involve several levels of certification to offer to fund to the community social change advocacy. Even though private sector has a speedier way of releasing the funds to the community, the public sector has an effective mandate of looking at the citizens' interests through the publishing of the considerable funds to the individuals change policies. Other aspects of building support in the Greenwood community over social advocacy change The other elements involved in creating the Greenwood community social change advocacy is through partnering with the global social change initiatives and creation of the branded campaigns which aims at managing and developing social change advocacy towards connecting civil society organizations which can capably create awareness to the public concerning the changes and effects involved. The building of the support for social advocacy changes consists of the creation of advocacy plans, monitoring as well as evaluating the community social changes advocacy initiatives and marginalizing the community individuals to identify the social change related opportunities (Wagner et al., 2015).
