Political scientist Hahrie Han

compared two advocacy


groups, each with a goal on
their cause.

She studied them for several years,


and measured their degree of
success at their policy goals at the
end.

Her book: How Organizations Develop Activists: Civic Associations and


Leadership in the 21st Century.
She compared how much of their activities were
done by the staff themselves,
vs. mobilizing others for one-shot roles (e.g. attend
a protest, contact a legislator, donate money)
vs. organizing people for longer-term involvement
(e.g. chapter leadership, organizing their
neighbors), via training and individualized
leadership development.

Her findings:

The greatest success comes from a combination of organizing


over the long haul and mobilizing at key moments.

Just mobilizing is much less successful.

Not mobilizing or organizing isn’t successful at all.
