Advocacy Initiative Challenge 5

For this challenge your group will plan some form of public activity that can be completed by Oct. 20. You can determine its nature and scale. Some suggestions include:

  • Holding a petition drive
  • Distributing information/flyers
  • Chalking the sidewalk
  • Holding a demonstration
  • Organizing a flash mob
  • Organizing an event
  • Holding a small fundraiser

For this challenge your group will formalize its plan by producing a two-page document with the following:

  1. A summary of the public activity
  2. A specific statement of what your group seeks to accomplish through this activity
  3. A discussion of how the activity will be carried out (including any relevant information about obtaining permission, if necessary)

Your group's document will be delivered in .pdf format and submitted using DROPitTOme. Follow these instructions to submit:

  1. Go to this website: http://dropitto.me/jtirrell
  2. Enter the password "tirrell"
  3. Click the "Select to upload" button and select your document

At this stage your group is planning the public activity; you will actually complete it before Oct. 20 for Advocacy Initiative challenge 6. You might consider using some of the knowledge gained from Tool/Technique Seminars to manage and promote your activity.
