This is a fresh way to turn your concern about the future into transformative action. Our goal is to inspire mainstream commitment to transitioning to a life-sustaining society, rather than continuing on our present course of ecological and social self-destruction.
The Communication Blitz will be throughout March next year. We have a growing team of colleagues in the United States, Canada, Scotland, England, South Africa and Australia.
We have six months to make it massive. I would be pleased if you would consider playing a role. Participating in the Communication Blitz need not take an inordinate amount of your time. Is this something you might consider?
How might we reach the mainstream? Well, ‘the mainstream’ is our friends, neighbours and business colleagues. We are all embedded in the mainstream, and there are millions of groups who care about environmental and social well-being.
Our strategy is to engage as many of these groups as possible as citizen educators, and provide ready to use tools to make communicating as easy as possible. Everything you need can be found via www.GreatTransitionCommunicationBlitz.net.
During the Communication Blitz we will be reaching out to people who do not ordinarily seek information about environmental and social trends and their disastrous implications.
The Communication Blitz will kick-start a ferment of activity akin to the feminist movement at its height in the 1970’s. They had books, articles, lectures and conferences, as well as the famous consciousness raising groups. All of this was self-organised without centralised control.
The Great Transition Communication Blitz website has sample emails, imaginative guerrilla marketing tactics, and innovative tools for personal conversations. There will be lots of activity through Facebook, LinkedIn, and personal emails, as well as through workshops and lectures.
The idea is to have people see the idea of transitioning to a life-sustaining society ‘everywhere’. We follow through by helping people develop a mental framework for grasping the needed changes, and seeing how they can contribute.
