Activism

Activism, in a general sense, can be described as intentional action to bring about social change, political change, economic justice, or environmental wellbeing.

 

Our work stems from any number of political orientations and take a wide range of forms, from writing letters to newspapers or politicians, political campaigning, economic activism, rallies, blogging and street marches, strikes, both work stoppages and hunger strickes.

 

As activists we work to persuade people to change their moral and ethical behavior directly, in addition to persuading governments to change laws to bring about such collective changes.

 

We organise political campaigns which seeks to influence the decision making process and to alter policy making within any institution or governmental body.

 

We aim to form a government of tomorrow which will manage and look after the affairs of the people.

 

Activists are the backbone of the political movement, loyal to the cause, the true believers and volunteers.

 

Modern political campaigns have set new standards for how successful campaigns are conducted day-to-day. The disciplined campaign is to be conducted with a strict chain of command, zero tolerance for certain prohibited actions i.e. violation of morals and ethics, and an extended daily schedule that starts early and ends much later than most "day jobs."

A campaign team (which may be as small as one inspired individual, or a heavily-resourced group of professionals) must consider how to communicate the message of the campaign both simply and creatively, recruit volunteers, and raise money. The plan takes account of a campaign's goal, message, target audience, and resources available. The campaign will typically seek to identify supporters at the same time as getting its message across.  Some Campaign Techniques
  • Mass meetings, rallies and protests - holding protests, rallies and other similar public events (if enough people can be persuaded to come) may be a very effective campaign tool. Holding mass meetings with speakers is powerful as it shows visually, through the number of people in attendance, the support that the campaign has.
  • Modern technology and the internet - the internet is now a core element of modern political campaigns. Communication technologies such as emails, websites, and podcasts for various forms of activism to enable faster communications by citizen movements and deliver a message to a large audience. These internet technologies are used for cause-related fundraising, lobbying, volunteering, community building and organising.
  • Husting, was originally a physical platform from which representatives presented their views or cast votes before a parliamentary or other election body. By metonymy, the term may now refer to any event, such as debates or speeches, during an election campaign where one or more of the representative candidates are present.
  • Writing directly to members of the public (either via a professional marketing firm or, particularly on a small scale, by volunteers)
  • By distributing leaflets or selling newspapers
  • Through websites, online communities, and email
  • Through Microtargeting that helps identify and target small demographic slices of voters
  • Through a whistletop tour - a series of brief appearances in several small towns
  • Organizing political functions, events, seminars and parties. 
  • Using endorsements of other celebrated party members to boost support
  • Remaining close to or at home to make speeches to supporters who come to visit as part of a front porch campaign.
  • Attending TV and radio talk shows as guests and part of the audience to promote your policies and arguments
  • Networking with other organisations and individuals to promote your policies and to build lasting relationships
