0G. RUNN — Foot Soldier Public Outreach Playbook For New Volunteers & Supporters Who Scan the QR Code Prepared by: Justyn-Thyme Taylor Coleman | Coordinator — Oʻahu Hawaiʻi Rastafari Community | Member — RUNN (Reforming the United Nations Now) | For educational and cultural research. Views expressed are my own and not the official position of RUNN. ⸻ I. What RUNN Is About (In Simple Words) RUNN = Reforming the United Nations Now We work to: • Protect civilians — Israeli, Palestinian, Hawaiian, Ethiopian, and all peoples • Build a global moral consensus against occupation, terror, and war crimes • Use international law, not vengeance, to seek justice • Help churches, universities, unions, and communities align with conscience under law Key sentence: “Only moral conscience under law, never vengeance, builds lasting security.” — H.I.M. Haile Selassie I ⸻ II. What You Just Read (0F — Reflection + Orientation) If you came here from the QR code, you may already have seen: • The Reflection Article: “RUNN — Moral Conscience and Lawful Peace.” • The Orientation Guide: Explaining who RUNN is, what we do, and how new people can support. That reflection is the heart of RUNN. This page is the hands and feet — how you actually do outreach. ⸻ III. Who Is a RUNN Foot Soldier? A Foot Soldier is someone who: • Shares the message of conscience under law • Speaks calmly, respectfully, and never in hatred • Brings the reflection + brief to: • churches • community groups • professors • activists • friends and family • Protects RUNN’s reputation by staying peaceful, lawful, and non-partisan You are not a protester or internet troll. You are a: • Listener • Bridge-builder • Educator • Messenger of moral conscience ⸻ IV. The 4-Step Basic Outreach Model (This is the simple version of your #2A.1 manual that new people can use.) When you talk to anyone about RUNN, you can follow these four moves: ⸻ Start With Shared Conscience Begin with something they already care about: • Innocent people suffering • Children in war zones • Justice and mercy • Indigenous rights • Peace and human dignity You can say: “I’ve been learning about a movement that focuses on protecting civilians and building peace through international law, not more violence.” No debate. No theology. Just conscience. ⸻ Introduce RUNN in One Sentence A simple intro that works almost anywhere: “RUNN — Reforming the United Nations Now — is a non-religious, non-partisan civic initiative that builds moral conscience under law to protect civilians and push for lawful accountability when governments or armed groups violate international humanitarian law.” If that’s too long for you, use this shorter version: “RUNN is about protecting civilians and using international law, not vengeance, to push for peace.” ⸻ Share the Reflection + Friendly Brief Once they’re interested, you connect them to materials: • The Reflection Article • The Public Orientation Guide • The Friendly Brief (a simple, short version of the main RUNN brief) You say: “If you want to understand it, this QR code / link gives you a short reflection and a friendly version of our brief. If it speaks to you, there’s a way to go deeper and request the full official brief.” Your job is to invite, not to pressure. ⸻ Invite a Simple Next Step Give them one or two easy options: • “Would you be open to reading the reflection article?” • “Would you like the short friendly brief?” • “Could I send you the link for later?” • “Do you know a pastor / professor / community leader who might be interested?” You are always moving gently: Awareness → Reading → Conversation → Connection ⸻ V. How to Introduce Yourself (Safe Generic Script) For most settings (church, campus, civic group, friends), foot soldiers can safely say: “Peace, my name is _______. I support a civic initiative called RUNN — Reforming the United Nations Now. We focus on protecting civilians and building a global moral consensus so that international law is actually enforced instead of ignored. We’re non-religious and non-partisan in this work — it’s about conscience and law, not party politics.” That keeps everything: • calm • lawful • non-threatening • open to people from any faith or worldview ⸻ VI. What You Do and Do Not Talk About This is where your advanced manual becomes simple rules for volunteers. Foot Soldiers CAN Talk About: • Protecting civilians on all sides • International law (basic ideas like: no collective punishment, protect children, protect hospitals, etc.) • The idea of a global moral consensus through the UN General Assembly • Divestment and ethical responsibility (in a calm, non-accusatory way) • Haile Selassie I as a moral example in history (not debating theology) • RUNN as: • non-violent • legal • diplomatic • educational Foot Soldiers SHOULD NOT: • Get into debates about: • “who is Israel / who is not” • prophetic timelines • “end times” or Armageddon • whether His Majesty is divine • deep Rasta metaphysics • Argue theology with: • pastors • rabbis • imams • Hebrew Israelites • Present themselves as RUNN “leaders” or “official spokespeople” • Promise things RUNN is not officially ready to deliver If conversations start going into deep theology or advanced law, foot soldiers should say: “That’s a good question. I’m more on the outreach side. I can connect you with more in-depth materials or put you in touch with someone who focuses on that side of the work.” (That “someone” is basically YOU or your advanced documents.) ⸻ VII. When You Are in a Church, Synagogue, Mosque, or Political Space You already have big detailed sections in your #2A.1 manual (churches, synagogues, mosques, Hebrew Israelites, Hawaiians, NGOs, academics). For new volunteers, we keep it VERY simple: In faith settings: • Emphasize: • protecting civilians • conscience • mercy + justice • Avoid: • arguing doctrine • trying to “correct” their theology Say things like: “Whatever our beliefs, I think we agree that innocent people — especially children — should be protected. RUNN focuses on lawful, non-violent ways to do that.” In civic / political / academic settings: • Emphasize: • international law • equal protection • non-violence • UN General Assembly and legal accountability • Avoid: • spiritual language • biblical or Qur’anic arguments Say things like: “We work with existing UN and legal tools. Our focus is how civil society — churches, universities, NGOs, cities — can act lawfully when the Security Council is blocked.” If it gets too technical, refer up (to the brief / to you). ⸻ VIII. How This Connects to the Full RUNN Brief The final RUNN Brief (your updated full version) is: • detailed • legal • structured • not for casual handout The QR-code pathway should work like this: 1. Foot soldier pamphlet → QR code 2. QR code → this Foot Soldier Playbook page + Reflection & Friendly Brief 3. On that page: option to request the full Official Brief or read more material So: • This page (0G) = “how to do what Justyn does, at a basic level” • 0F = why RUNN exists / moral foundation • #2A.1 and the full Brief = advanced manuals and legal architecture, mainly for you and serious partners ⸻ IX. Final Word to Foot Soldiers You can close the page with something like this: “RUNN is built slowly and carefully — one conversation at a time, one conscience at a time. Your role is not to win arguments, but to awaken moral courage, connect people to the reflection and brief, and protect the integrity of the movement by staying peaceful, lawful, and respectful. If you can do that, you are already a powerful Foot Soldier.”
