Illustrates the practice of 'intersectional advocacy' by showing how organizations addressing gender-based violence are transforming the US policy system to reflect the struggles of people marginalized by gender, race, and class. This book is a call to action to redraw policy boundaries until American democracy is more equitable and just.
What happens to those living at the margins of US politics and policy – trapped between multiple struggles: gender-based violence, poverty, homelessness, unaffordable healthcare, mass incarceration and immigration? In this book, Margaret Perez Brower offers the concept of 'intersectional advocacy' to reveal how select organizations addressing gender-based violence are closing policy gaps that perpetuate inequalities by gender, race, ethnicity, and class. Intersectional advocacy is a roadmap for rethinking public policy. The book captures how advocacy groups strategically contest, reimagine, and reconfigure policy institutions using comprehensive new strategies that connect issues together. As these groups challenge traditional ways of addressing the most pressing social issues in the US, they uncover deep inequities that are housed within these institutions. Ultimately, organizations practicing intersectional advocacy illuminate how to redraw the boundaries of policies in ways that transform US democracy to be more representative, equitable, and just.

Margaret Perez Brower is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington. Her work focuses on the politics of race, ethnicity, and gender and how these politics shape US institutions, advocacy, policymaking, and social movements.
