Description

This book portrays how small, geographically dispersed, progressive social change and social service organizations working within a coalition are able to influence national level social policies. Based on extensive empirical research focused on two national organizations that exist to protect lower income communities, and three more local organizations associated with them, it shows how such organizations achieve success by establishing professionally staffed national level organizations that coordinate coalition efforts, mobilize members into action, provide information and instruction to facilitate such action, and act as the public voice for the coalitions.
