Assignment:
To complete the activity, create your own power map.
First start by clearly defining an objective, which should be specifically defined. This might be a policy, or working to eliminate a concrete disparity, like improving high school graduation rates among Chicanxs and Latinxs, or addressing a specific health disparity within your city, county, or state.
Then, begin filling out the chart relative to that issue by identifying individuals and organizations and estimating their amount of influence and support to place them on the chart. You can start with the people you are most familiar with. You may want to also look up elected officials or policymakers, such as legislators, mayors, or appointed representatives. Some of these people and organizations will be listed in news articles on your topic.
To complete the chart, identify the four groups that you have mapped:
- Champions: Individuals who are high in influence and support your objective.
- Supporters: Individuals who are low in influence and support your objective.
- Targets: Individuals who are high in influence but oppose your objective.
- Opponents: Individuals who are low in influence and oppose your objective.
Finally, reflect on what you have learned from this process in a short written response, focusing on the question: How can the identified champions and supporters of your issue work to influence the targets and opponents?
Please turn in your clearly defined objective, your 'filled in' chart with identifying the 4 groups, and written response to the question above.
