This chapter returns to the question of activists' engagement with the state, examining the different forms that movement organizations' relationships with state authorities took during the 1990s and 2000s, when the therapeutic state around child sexual abuse was well‐developed, and shows the kinds of access and compromise these relationships brought. It discusses entry of activists into state agencies, movement organizations' professionalization, and increasing funding to provide services to the state, arguing that some groups became part of a para‐state. It traces organizations' use of crime victims compensation funds and activists' attempts to increase criminal and civil penalties for child sexual abuse Finally, the chapter analyzes newer organizations' involvement with public health initiatives to prevent child sexual abuse. Overall, the chapter argues that activists' involvement with the state was shaped by the priorities and pressures of the state, showing the continued power of medical and criminal approaches over others. Yet activists, particularly in the public health wing, continued to bring larger political goals into their work, illustrating the paradoxical nature of social movement outcomes.

This chapter explores the mainstreaming of transmedia organizing through case studies of three professional transmedia immigrant rights campaigns: Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and undocumented activist Jose Antonio Vargas developed Define American, a participatory video campaign linked to a feature-length documentary film. Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs, funded Davis Guggenheim, producer of An Inconvenient Truth, to create a transmedia campaign called The Dream is Now, which culminated in a high-production-value short film that was screened at the White House. In addition, a group of Silicon Valley executives, including Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, launched FWD.us, a sophisticated media campaign that uses cutting-edge online organizing tools to build support for comprehensive immigration reform, with a primary goal of increasing the number of visas available for high-skill information workers. This chapter explores these three transmedia organizing campaigns, each better resourced but less accountable to the immigrant rights movement than the last. This transition period for transmedia organizing can be located within the longer history of the professionalization of social movements, and the chapter draws on this history to argue for the importance of strong accountability mechanisms in movement media work.
