"This book portrays how small, geographically dispersed, progressive social change
and social service organizations working within a coalition can influence national
level social policies. Based on extensive empirical research on two national organizations
and their local affiliates one focusing on affordable housing, the other working to
protect lower income communities, this book shows the ways in which professionally
staffed organizations that coordinate coalitions come about and then describes their
work to mobilize coalition members to lobby and advocate, providing information, analysis
and instruction to facilitate such action, and in so doing become the public voice
for the social change efforts of coalitions. Advocacy for Social Change details the
characteristics of these organizations that the author has labeled as focal catalytic
coalition organizations and then provides numerous examples of campaigns led by them
on affordable housing and economic justice, campaigns that illustrate tactics that
other social change organizations can emulate. As such, it will appeal to scholars
of sociology with interests in social problems, social action, political sociology,
urban studies, community development and organizing while extending the literature
on interest group lobbying"
