Summer of action
Top actions for the summer term:
- Come to protest at the RBS AGM on 23 April 2008.
- Send in any completed action cards you’ve collected to the P&P office for hand in at the RBS AGM, and to DFID.
If you can’t make it to the RBS AGM, why not take action at a local branch of RBS-NatWest on the same day.
Passers-by sign the giant DDD petition
Three steps to an amazing DDD campaign
1. Raise the profile of your campaign
Use films, speakers, stunts, theatre, media and video to get everyone talking about the campaign. This step will help people who aren’t already activists or campaigners to get involved.
2. Build support for the campaign
Once you’ve got people interested, you need to show DFID and RBS just how many people are demanding that they Ditch Dirty Development.
3. Get active to put pressure on the campaign targets
These actions might be done by just a few really active group members, but if you have mass support (from Step 2), you’ll be loads more effective.
Remember, you can always get advice on planning your campaign events and actions from the P&P office. Contact Bronwen or Pete for specific Ditch Dirty Development campaign advice, or get in touch with your group’s intern: 01865 245678
