Checklists for conservative grassroots organization by Drew McKissick


When it comes to successful grassroots organization, there are a lot of things you can do, but there are only a few fundamentals, and they apply to whatever type of methods you employ.

The Grassroots Fundamentals are:

1.Identifying your supporters

2.Informing them

3.And Mobilizing them

OK, so those are the fundamentals. But how do you go about it? Here’s a list of “to do” items to focus on in each case:

The “Identification” to do list:

•Find people who think like you do

•Form a “core group”

•Determine what they’re willing to do

•Identify ten volunteers (form a volunteer committee for your church or precinct or friends online)

The “Information” to do list:

•Establish a database

•Set up a regular meeting schedule

•Send action alerts, a newsletter, or other communications as needed

•Consider distributing voter guides and scorecards prior to elections

The “Mobilization” to do list:

•Check the political calendar for pending events or elections

•Choose projects that fit your resources and can advance your goals

•Share the plan with your supporters and get them involved

Focus on your goals until you can check each of them off your list. When you can, you’ll have a local grassroots organization capable of having a real impact on the things that you care about!

Remember, one step at a time...
