As you have learned, public policy is shaped by many factors and evolves. For this assignment, you will focus on a specific advocacy organization and identify a policy or law that connects to the chosen organization. This will allow you to see this evolution within an organization and how it affects issues of politics, ethics, integrity, and society.
Your paper should be 5–6 pages in length. Choose an advocacy organization local to you. Then provide the following information:
First, identify your chosen organization and supply a brief history of it.
Next, identify and briefly (in 1–2 paragraphs) explain the problem(s) or issue(s) that the organization is intended to address.
Finally, define the stated mission goal(s) of the organization. Has its mission goal(s) changed over time? If so, how?
Identify one specific policy or law that your chosen organization is currently supporting. Provide information about the policy or law and why the organization supports it. Be sure to include information on how the organization supports that policy or law.
Thinking about the information above, in your opinion, has the organization successfully achieved its mission goal(s)? Why or why not?
Use at least four sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your sources page once within your assignment.
