To organizations and others out there who have grassroots action experience:
MAYDAY is trying to start a Congressional calling campaign in order to put members of Congress on "notice" and get on the "right side" of reform. A discussion of this is taking place on the MAYDAY Reddit at http://www.reddit.com/r/MaydayPAC/comments/32pf6i/seeking_citizen_input_on_maydays_goals_in_2015/.
Can you organizations and others make suggestions for MAYDAY getting its Congressional calling campaign going?
Concerning grassroots action such as the calling campaign, I have asked the question of how important is it that there be a "social" aspect.
I gave as an example, the #RepDay15 of Represent.Us on Wednesday. Groups of people around the country got out with signs. The groups had a physical "social" aspect, which I think people like very much. The "socializing" was buttressed by sharing on Twitter. See https://twitter.com/search?q=%23RepDay15&src=tyah
Another example of the attraction of physical "socializing" seemed to me the NHRebellion walks.
I don't think the "social" dimension must be physical, in person "socializing" in order to attract grassroots participation, but I think MAYDAY should give much thought to how to create a "social" dimension to the Congressional calling campaign MAYDAY wants to carry out.
Can you organizations and others who have grassroots action experience.offer any ideas to MAYDAY for its Congressional calling campaign?
I hope you do.
