Reference no: EM133729254

Assignment:

Ballot-based advocacy is a form of political engagement where individuals or groups focus on influencing the outcome of elections to promote social justice.

This can be achieved in two main ways: Electing Public Officials: Advocates work to support and select candidates who align with their views on social justice. This involves campaigning for candidates who promise to implement policies that advance equality, human rights, and other social justice issues.

Ballot Initiatives: These are proposals that appear on election ballots, which the public can vote on directly. Advocates either support or oppose these initiatives based on whether they will help or hinder social justice goals. This might include initiatives on issues like environmental protection, education reform, or healthcare access. Overall, ballot-based advocacy aims to use the electoral process as a tool to effect social change by influencing both the people in power and the specific laws and policies that are enacted.
