Abstract: |
This article seeks to advance the strategic dimensions of advocacy efforts undertaken by social workers. It draws upon ideas about motivators used by educators to reach learners on issues of social justice, and suggests that applying messages to policy practice allows advocates to craft advocacy practices that draw from these motivators, which have been shown to enlist support from more privileged power holders in social justice issues. The article confirms the importance of motivators of empathy, values and beliefs, spirituality, and self-interest. A deeper understanding about how to effectively use these motivators is explored. The article suggests that another four categories of motivators can be added to persuasion strategies: guilt, anger, desire to create a legacy, and a universal yearning for justice. |
