From Dublin to Detroit, Water is a Human Right A message from the Detroit water brigade saying dont be a slave for the government, get to the protest at the Dail tomorrow at lunchtime. Check your local water charges resistance page for travel details and meet up locations. Weve travelled 4,000 miles, we need you to be there --- 5 ThINgs you CaN Do To seT up your oWN CampaIgN group. 1) online presence - a first step is to set up a local Facebook page. This can be used as a focal point for in- formation about the group, and a way of raising awareness that the group exists. a group Twitter account is optional but not as important. also set up a group email account. 2) plan a public meeting - This could be a street meeting for your estate, or a larger meeting for the wider area. 3) Find a venue - Think of any local community centres, sports clubs, pubs, or even an outdoor space (as some people have done). ask attendees for small donations if you need to. 4) Try to get a couple speakers to speak for a few minutes at the beginning. organisers from other local campaigns will be happy to speak, as will trade union and political activists, and even anti water charge politicians. 5) The next step is advertising the meeting. This can be done several ways: leaflets and posters, door- knocking, a Facebook ad, and word of mouth. and out leaflets in key areas like shopping centres, and put up posters in areas of high traffic. ask local shops and businesses if they will display some leaflets. Knock on doors of local people to tell them about the meeting and give them a leaflet (slow but effective). post on the Facebook page advertising the meet- ing, and ‘boost’ that post as an advertisement for greater visibility (costs a few quid). Tell everyone you know to spread the word about the meeting.
