What is Systems Change Organizing?

• Individual Advocacy helps one person change

  benefits, reasonable accommodation at work, etc.

• Systems Advocacy
• Systems Advocacy changes an entire system or
  structure from the way it currently works. For
  example, new housing construction, homeless
  shelters, paratransit services, voting machines,
