Handbook for community groups: advocacy and communication

Eldis has this great link to a new handbook produced by a South African organisation with heaps of great information and howtos for community organisations trying to get a message across. This is a really good place to start if your a community group that is trying to work out how to do things either from scratch or for a new campaign. I’ve found a major problem with groups I have been involved in is a lack of direction, leadership or an idea of where they going/what they doing. This handbook covers everything from advocacy, running a campaign, lobbying and even has concrete examples of it in action. Well recommended!

  • Just saw an ad for Verizon FiOS, featured a DVR that could play to 6 rooms at once. American families have six TVs now???
  • Domain HomeAlert: 1 bed, 1 bath, good, William St, nice location, $70/week, sounds great sign me up. Oh, it's a carpark not a 'home'...#fail
  • Worse thing from Thiessen seems to be if you don't agree with him that means your siding with the enemy.
  • Plus Thiessen says advocating for the release of detainees who aren't being charged is a "radical/extremist view".
  • Thiessen says if you use your pro bono time to defend accused people you support their views. This can't be serious.
