Spring 2018 Advocacy for the Common Good
The Center for Social Concerns is offering a one-credit (January–March) hands-on advocacy course in which students will develop and implement a campaign to push forward the Dream Act, legislation supported by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Students will be introduced to advocacy tools and mechanisms, including mapping power, building a constituency, developing effective messaging, utilizing the media, and influencing decision makers. The campaign will conclude with visits to the offices of Senator Donnelly (D-IN) and Representative Walorski (R-IN), respectively.
