Mobilising the Community
Keep it simple, focus on mobilising energies where we know it’ll work – reaching and energising Local Group rebels, and bringing new people to the movement by sharing the science. The people we already know are the easiest to reach out to. We could double, treble or more, our numbers at the Rebellion if all of us organise house meetings and get five of our friends involved.
Online outreach is KEY to every event, and everyone with access to a mobile or computer can do it. Publicise talks with fly posters, or go door to door in your neighbourhood. Community outreach is also so important – every Local Group can form a team to contact your local community groups, organisations and businesses.
