Overview

Building coalitions around the issues we work on builds our power as an organization and behind our campaigns. The more organizations we work with, the more people we will be involving in our campaigns. We will approach both environmental groups and groups who are affected by the issue we are working on.

Responsibilities

• Develop a list of potential coalitions partners, including:
  • Student political, environmental or public health clubs
  • Religious groups
  • Renewable Energy groups
  • Groups associated with significant members of the community
  • Children’s, physicians’ and scientists’ groups
• Contact Coalition Partners
• Phone, e-mail and mail letter expressing interest to coordinate together for an event, for research, or for visibility
• Develop a tracking system for coalition partners and update that system
• Fundraising Coordination
• Solicit in-kind donations
• Example: Ask a local restaurant to donate food for an event.
