How We Organize

1. Know who your Building Leader is and who is on your building team. 

2. Get people to take action (sign a petition, come to a meeting, etc.) by having one-on-one conversations with them (not mass emails or Facebook posts).

3. Get a commitment from folks that they have done the thing; follow up!

4. Report your data using campaign data collection forms.

5. After the campaign, we'll celebrate our wins, reflect on the campaign, and move forward to win some more!
