What challenges or opportunities do you foresee for advocacy professionals in the next decade? Politicians continue to demonize and blame "the groups" for their political results -- and use that as an excuse to be more resistant to policy change. Increasing difficulty reaching, polling, persuading, and activating constituents as churn and burn, list swapping, other abusive digital and SMS practices, and deprioritization of political and news content on social make people harder to reach. Hopelessness, increasing social stigma related to wokeness/groups/DEI/Democrats and/or fear of retaliation by government, employers, customers, society/the mob.
