SCHOOL OF LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY AND SOCIAL CHANGE (HMT 363)
Prerequisites: ACT Core Course or another HMT course with its Field Assignment as agreed with a College Academic Advisor
Credits: 11 - 12
This course is designed to give students hands-on experience in developing a legislative advocacy or social change campaign for a social justice issue that they have worked on in the field. It is designed to demystify the legislative process and make law and the legal process more accessible to those working in advocacy on justice campaigns with practical tool sets to influence policy and the legislative agenda. The course includes daily intercession and time in the Word to seek God’s heart for justice and to learn how to be “doers” of the Word. Daily lectures present skills and practical information necessary to understand legislative work in the political sphere; individual and group research times and group work are all part of the curriculum.
