Good Afternoon Brittany,
I enjoyed reading your post and thought it displayed alot of valuable information that I learned from as well. Your steps for utilizing the mobilization strategy are great! I think working directly with the immigrants to see what services they need at the moment would be beneficial. Not only do you hear the voices of the immigrants, but also other organizations who have experience with this population. Working with other organizations in the community and the impacted population is helpful overview of the community’s past responses to the issue and to similar issues. (Toseland & Rivas, 2017) The large number of members and groups that must agree on goals may be a disadvantage due to scheduling and the length of time it may take. Leadership in this group differs from leadership in a treatment group because you are working with multiple constituencies, including individuals experiencing the problem, community leaders, informal and formal community groups and organizations, and larger social institutions, according to Toseland and Rivas (2017). The various power structures of the individuals in the group are also what distinguishes one from another. Some are members of the population, while others are simply advocates, but they are all working together to address the issues.

Good Afternoon Tammy,
I truly enjoyed reading your post this week and learned alot of valuable information from it as well. Your implementation steps are fantastic! I believe
that assembling a group of community leaders and members of the affected population is a wise idea because these people can provide a helpful overview of the community's previous responses to the issue and similar issues. According to Toseland & Rivas (2017), Person-to-person contact with community residents helps build community groups and organizations in which each member feels valued. Building rapport in the community is one advantage of using the mobilization strategy. They no longer feel like someone of power is controlling their narrative. Members of social action groups and coalitions are also motivated by the opportunity to make better lives for themselves, their families, and others in their community. (Toseland & Rivas, 2017) Leadership in this group differs from leadership in a treatment group because this group involves consciousness raising and empowerment. Toseland and Rivas (2017) define consciousness raising as "assisting community residents in realizing that the way things are is not due
to fate or their own failings, but rather to social structures that promote the
status quo." In this group, proper leadership can lead to group feeling encourage to advocate for themselves.
