Selecting and mobilizing #constituents for #advocacy requires an approach that considers the appropriate level of #government, geographic impact, jurisdictional authority, and specific #demographic and #socioeconomic nuances. Demonstrating an understanding of the #civic engagement history of a target audience, organizations can craft tailored, compelling, and personalized messages that resonate with constituents. The careful, strategic selection and engagement of constituents will help ensure a methodical, calculated, and well-organized advocacy campaign that accomplishes the desired #PublicPolicy priorities.
