1) Outreach: Attracting new, enthusiastic members
to the Peace Coalition, especially through personal, face-to-face, ties and
contacts.
2) Action or Social Activism: Activities such as demonstrations, speakouts,
sit-ins, escort services (for those afraid of racist attacks or other hate crimes),
and campaigns in order to be seen, present a clear message, and attract greater
support.
3) Education or "Academic Activism": Activities such as teach-ins, panel
discussions, leafleting, petitioning, and "postering" in order to better educate
the general public and gain wider support. This is closely related to Action/Social
Activism, but tries to reach a wider audience by "teaching" more the complexities
of and perspectives on an issue as opposed to just stating and emphasizing our
concerns and views.
4) Delegating Responsibilities: Everyone who supports the Peace Coalition
should feel necessary and wanted. This happens by empowering everyone to voice
his or her concerns and opinions, and by allotting responsibilities to everyone.
Those who have a responsibility, no matter how small, will feel encouraged to
come back and participate actively.
5) Awareness of Issues: It is vital for the existence and evolution of
our coalition that we are all aware of current and past events and circumstances
that directly affect us. It is important to know of our government's policies
and practices, events around the world, and events here at home, among other
things.
