Mobilising people can be a useful and effective advocacy activity. It aims to show decisionmakers that people are concerned about, and want to see change on, an issue. Mobilising activity needs to communicate a clear message and will be most effective if linked to ongoing lobbying work and direct contact with decision-makers. It may also open up opportunities for lobbying in contexts where it seems impossible.
