# Don't be Afraid to Ask!

>“The good news for organizers who want to help build the political revolution is that people really are just waiting for you to ask them to do something big.” 
― **Becky Bond, Rules for Revolutionaries: How Big Organizing Can Change Everything**

Every event should have a clear next step. Every conversation should end with “and this is how you can help”. Every interaction you have needs a small way that people can meaningfully tackle the climate crisis. They should be able to do it immediately or within 3 days, or their enthusiasm will be lost. 

Show them they can make history!
