Tips for Successful Organizing

Start Early

Give yourself 6-8 weeks to plan your first event. This allows time for promotion, team building, and logistics.

Focus on Stories

Personal stories are more powerful than statistics. Feature local workers who can share how automation affects their lives.

End with Action

Every event should end with concrete next steps. Have people commit to calling representatives or attending the next meeting.
