   Abstract:
   Political advocacy is the mobilization of ideas and people with the goal of influencing the thinking of policymakers to either (1) promote a specific point of view or (2) enact policy in the form of laws or programs that benefit the ideas or people. Political advocacy happens in many places and on many levels, though the concept is most often associated with democratic societies. Among the assumptions of these types of pluralistic societies are that there are many voices that want to be heard in the political process and that there should be (theoretically) as many avenues or forums as possible for those voices to be heard.
