Editing Strategizing (section)

===== Decision: Direct Political Involvement =====
With direct political involvement, we work to influence decisions within the systems and structures that are already in place. This type of strategy buys time for the long-term change that is desired, and is often (though not always) insufficient to bring about sustained change. It can involve direct actions like civil disobedience, boycotts, blockades, and other forms of refusal. It can also involve trying to impact elections, change laws, and affect political and economic decisions. For example, a campaign working for the rights of transgender people might work to develop trans-inclusion policies at local school boards or city councils.
