In between my normal round of activities, I’ve been working upon a number of projects which illustrate just what can be done in terms of Joined-Up-Campaigning.
Co-ordinated Leafleting
The first of these has been a series of co-ordinated leafleting sessions outside of the railway stations through which DRS nukiller waste trains pass through.
There have been three such co-ordinated sessions this year.
These stations have included Bridgwater, Bristol, Brixton, Carnforth, Carlisle, Chester, Gloucester, Lancaster, Warrington, & Wigan.
The great advantage of these co-ordinated leafleting sessions is that they only need a few people to cover each of these stations, but their impact is much greater in total.
In order to reach the greatest number of people who use these stations, it’s a good idea to leaflet them during the evening rush hour.
I’m hoping that there will be more of these co-ordinated leafleting sessions at many more stations within the coming year.
Joined Up Campaigning – Joined Up Thinking
One thing I’ve been working upon of late has been a response to the current set of MOD proposals as to where radioactive waste from decommissioned nukiller submarine might be stored.
The difficult part about drafting this statement was to avoid any aspect of NIMBYism, but still have something which any community group in the effected areas could put their name to.
If more such statements could be produced, then it will help to build a more campaigning networks.
For a long time now we have suffered from having too few activists, but by developing such co-ordinated campaigning, we should be able to turn this weakness in to our greatest strength
