if your google search brought you here then you're probably interested in amnesty related to the immigration issue - sorry, that's for another post...this is about how freakin' darn e-z it is to start and run a local chapter of amnesty international (or any other group for that matter)...amnesty has produced an activist's toolkit for years in order to make local organizing easier for either the novice or the more experienced activist...in the past it's been a hard copy but in the last two years that toolkit is available on-line and it is soooooooooooooooo helpful...
the activist toolkit has something for everyone!...information to help new groups get started, useful tips on running an existing group, lots of great ideas for planning events and activities, and a calendar of significant dates that you may want to plan events around...it also provides a crash course on how amnesty operates, how to get in contact with staff and volunteer leaders, and a variety of other useful resources...
my favorite view of the toolkit is via the sitemap - normally i avoid site maps but this one is so well formatted that i could just about ask it to move in and live with me...
so if you need some ideas on how to run a local organization - any kind really - check out the toolkit today...you're gonna write me and thank me i'm betting (and you're welcome)...
peace out <3
