Political Change Proposal

Present a plan to enact change through the government.

Your proposal should include:

  • Introduction of what you’d like to see changed.
  • Why the issue is important to you.
  • Research about the current status of the issue you want to change.
    • Relevant laws
    • Facts and figures
    • First hand experiences
    • Opinions
    • Articles
  • Understand why people might oppose your change and respond (should respond to specific research, not hearsay).
  • Plan to make change happen:
    1. What level of government is responsible?
    2. What will you do and why is that the most effective option?
    3. Logistics: Who will do what? How many people will be involved? How long will it take? When will it be done?
    4. What foreseeable barriers might you encounter and how might they be overcome?
  • Conclude with what you hope to achieve by fulfilling this plan.
