Submitted by Drew Mckissick on Thu, 04/08/2010 - 20:32
When it comes to successful grassroots organization, there are a lot of things you can do, but there are on ly a few fundamentals, and they apply to whatever type of methods you employ.
The Grassroots Fundamentals are:
-
Identifying your supporters
- Informing them
- And Mobilizing them
OK, so those are the fundamentals. But how do you go about it? Here’s a list of “to do” items to focus on in each case:
The “Identification” to do list:
- Find people who think like you do
- Form a “core group”
- Determine what they’re willing to do
- Identify ten volunteers (form a volunteer committee for your church or precinct or friends online)
The “Information” to do list:
- Establish a database
- Set up a regular meeting schedule
- Send action alerts, a newsletter, or other communications as needed
- Consider distributing voter guides and scorecards prior to elections
The “Mobilization” to do list:
- Check the political calendar for pending events or elections
- Choose projects that fit your resources and can advance your goals
- Share the plan with your supporters and get them involved
Focus on your goals until you can check each of them off your list. When you can, you’ll have a local grassroots organization capable of having a real impact on the things that you care about!
Remember, one step at a time...
