### Community

Community mobilization brings significant experiences of political socialization events that could influence one's political attitudes with a collective community goal.Cho, W. K. T., Gimpel, J. G., \& Dyck, J. J. (2006\). Residential concentration, political socialization, and voter turnout. *The Journal of Politics*, *68*(1\), 156\-167\. An example is how [Prop 187](/wiki/1994_California_Proposition_187 "1994 California Proposition 187") was specifically targeting illegal immigrants in LA County within the state of California. Given the severity of the policy targeting a specific community, this created a mass mobilization of the Latino and immigrant community, creating a voting bloc that prevented the initiative of Prop 187\.Zabin, C., \& Escala, L. (2002\). From civic association to political participation: Mexican hometown associations and Mexican immigrant political empowerment in Los Angeles. *Frontera norte*, *14*(27\), 7\-41\. Chicago [Harvey Milk](/wiki/Harvey_Milk "Harvey Milk") was a significant political mobilizing the queer community during the 1978 race for California governor with increasing support for Prop 6, a law that would mandate firing any queer teacher or employee in any California public school. As this threatened the queer community and increased immigration of gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals, specifically in the San Francisco area, Milk was able to mobilize the queer community to gain enough momentum to vote against [Prop 6](/wiki/Briggs_Initiative "Briggs Initiative") successfully.Gimpel, J. G., Lay, J. C., \& Schuknecht, J. E. (2003\). *Cultivating democracy: Civic environments and political socialization in America*. Brookings Institution Press. This could have been a pivotal introduction to political participation for those in these areas, motivating many to continue voting in future elections. In many cases, the experience of community mobilization is the first introduction to political policies and political participation, starting their political journey connected with their home.
