In this guide, we’ll try to share our collective experiences on how to be an effective environmental activist—how to organize your group, how to keep it going, and how to make real progress on issues that are important to us all. While there is no perfect method that fits every situation, these are things that have helped us and we hope they help you. In the rest of this guide, we’ll show you how to start a group, structure it, hold successful meetings, empower your members, choose an issue, launch a campaign(s), develop your analysis, mobilize students and win social change.
