Suggested
Groups to Contact Regarding Regional Energy Revolution Rally Participation
Numbers
count! So, we'd like your help recruiting others from your town
to attend the rally. From years of experience, we'd suggest that
rally participation recruiters focus on invitations to the following
groups:
l. Members
of any climate group in town, whether an MCAN chapter, sustainability
group, transition team, etc.
2. Members
of a community supported agriculture (CSA) group or garden club
3. Any "Green
Team" at school - consider both public and private schools
4. Environment
or science clubs at local schools, again considering both public
and private schools
5. Churches,
especially those persons on the environment/social issues committees,
or in youth groups within the church
6. The League
of Women Voters, which has taken a positive stance on actions to
minimize climate change
7. The Democratic
Party's local organization, as the climate is one of their primary
political issues now
8. Bike
clubs/groups, which are generally filled with environmentalists
who support the cause
9. Runner's
groups, which should be encouraged to run to, and within, Concord
10.Your
town's colonial minuteman company - a natural complement to the
Energy Revolution Rally
Beyond direct
group contacts, reach out to everyone: poster the town (our poster
is available here). Many church
bulletin boards, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Brueggers, supermarkets,
libraries, etc. have places to post local events.
Finally, publicize the event in the many local papers that various
organizations publish, as well as online with Yahoo and other sites.
