This chapter looks across the three organizations of the Coleman Advocates for Children and Youth, the San Francisco Organizing Project, and the Oakland Community Organizations to understand how their ideas about community reform and their chosen strategies define the work that they do and its impact on their communities. It highlights the differences between process- and outcome-oriented advocacy and traces how these different orientations influence organizations' goals, strategies, and community impact. The chapter focuses on how organizational and contextual factors shape advocates' efforts, necessarily centering the analysis on the specific features of our three focal organizations and their environment.Less
