The document has sections on Issue, Rationale, Goals, Steps to Follow, Deadlines, and Report and Evaluation. TransAfrica seeks to influence the political and legislative process, with three primary tasks: (1) developing a constituency around the positions it seeks to advocate; (2) creating effective mechanisms for communicating with elected and appointed officials about the substance of the issues, and (3) impressing upon elected officials that an organized constituency is observing their reaction and response to the positions advocated by TransAfrica. TransAfrica members are mobilized using an action alert system directed at the U.S. Congress.
