Advocacy to address formal power relations

Advocacy support addresses needs impacted by certain formal power relations.

A power relation exists when one person holds influential power over the other. The powerless one is identified here as the reporting impactee (RI). The powerholder is identified here as the ascribed or acknowledged impactor (AI). If you are impacted by the power relation more than you impact it, you are the RI. If you impact the power relation more than impacted by it, you are the AI

Reporting Impactee?

Humbly yet firmly reporting how AI negatively impacts one's needs.

Power is not actually power unless it resolves needs. Otherwise it's just coercive force. 

 

needs.

Ascribed Impactor?

Ascribed to humbly admit RI could be in error, unless acknowledged.

Power is not actually power unless it resolves needs. Otherwise it's just coercive force. 

 

needs.

Power relations easily distort outcomes.

How much power do you really have to resolve your personal large-scale needs? You must rely on mass institutions like politics and the judiciary for needs you cannot resolve on your own. You must vulnerably submit to others for such needs.

“Power is not actually power unless it resolves needs. Otherwise it is just coercive force.”

Value Relating is a pioneering service to bridge the powerless and the powerful. Both sides work together using our Impact Parity Model.

"What if I can't find enough supporters to reach each price level?"

Start at a pace you can afford

If you as the RI cannot raise enough initial support to reach the opening weekly price, you can still start small. We then help you start small to work your way forward. Refer to this chart for how much we can do for your at your price point.

Proceed at the level you can afford

 

If the campaign leader cannot reach the weekly price, but only  half or less, their campaign proceeds without autonomy. The campaign guide and advocate retain a 50% voting bloc.

If the campaign leader cannot reach the weekly price, but more than half, their campaign proceeds as semi-autonomous. The campaign guide and advocate retain a 25% voting bloc.

When the campaign leader reaches the weekly price, their campaign proceeds with full autonomy. The the campaign leader reaches a 50% voting bloc. The campaign advocate (with the campaign guide's input) only votes to break any tie.

Impactor Types

 

Impactor's impact

direct impact: affected needs cannot resolve without this person's direction.
indirect impact: affected needs may not resolve without this person's cooperation.
peripheral impact: affected needs can more satisfactorily resolve with this person's input.

Impactor's linkage

downchain: AI delegates authority to those of lower rank.
sidechain: AI shares authority with coequal powerholders.
upchain: AI must check with authority of higher rank.

Impactor's engagement

unresponsive: AI shows no interest or fails to reply within a reasonable time.
responsive: AI demonstrates responsiveness to invitation to process.
supportive: AI ready to actively support RI's cause with intangible & tangible resources.
investing: AI expresses willingness to financially support RI's cause to resolve identified need(s).

Twofold Campaign

As the powerless gain courage to speak truth to power, the powerholders gain vital branding data when they listen to those impacted. Each side needs the other. Advocacy campaigns make sure powerholders need the powerless more than the powerless need powerholders. You can see this in each step of the campaign.

GUIDE

rely on opposing generalizations for easing pain of needs vulnerable to shared or public resources

resolving specific needs on all sides to remove pain that seeks generalizations for relief, stopping this vicious cycle

SUPPORT

You cannot attract sufficient support for your legislative initiatives as opposition complains you're too biased

both sides win when their needs can resolve, including meaningfully giving others a turn at public resources

ADVOCATE

liberals & conservatives are always at odds, reasoned arguments and ballot box mediates differences

needs of both Left & Right linked to differing priority of needs, best sorted by direct communication of needs

IMPACTEE

If powerless in a power relation, we say your are the Impactee. You are impacted by the relation more than you impact it.

You likely avoid complaining directly, lest you risk some unpleasant consequences. How can you tell them how they painfully impact your needs?

If you feel this way, are others also enduring in silence? How can you all turn what seems to be a negative relationship into a more positive one?

By speaking truth to power

in a way they would want to listen to those impacted.

IMPACTOR

 

If powerful in a power relation, we say your are the Impactor. You impact the relation more than you are impacted by it.

This may be the first time you heard any complaints from those under your influence. How were you to know you had this impact on their needs?

If they feel that way, are others like them also keeping silent? How can you turn what seems to be a negative relationship into a more positive one?

By listening to those impacted

in a way encouraging them to speak truth to power.
