Paper sign-up forms for Outreach
UK email list sign ups
For big rebellions (e.g. in London) there are many opportunities for outreach and the usual ask is for people to join the UK email list.
Different ways to sign up people to the lists are as follows, in descending order of preferece by the GDPR team...
QR Codes or shortlinks It is encouraged to use QR codes or short url links to encourage people to sign up to the email list directly. QR codes can be added to flyers or posters. You can link to this url https://extinctionrebellion.uk/#sign-up-form
For the UK list you could use this A4 pdf on the back of clipboards to encourage people to sign up themselves.

Enter data yourself
Another way to get the data safely in to the email database is to get the person to tell you their details and enter them directly on your phone/tablet/computer. You can take time to double check their email is correct. You can do this using the sign up for news box on the Uk website
Paper Forms When it's not possible to do the above you can use paper forms to collect the information. There is GDPR compliant paper FORM to collect the information on the streets. If you are part of a big event/rebellion then there is a pop-up group available to help, with a GDPR safe system in place to process all these paper form. Please contact the Action Network Data Team if you require this 'service' ! Any big event should have an Outreach team attached, so they can also provide a link to this system.
Local Group email list sign ups
Follow similar advice to the above. If your group already has an Action Network email list then you can use the link for your LG from the map and make a QR code/short link from it. Or directly input to your phone/tablet whilst talking to the member of the public via the online form.
You could use a GDPR compliant paper form and then input the data via the link from the map. Or to get a tailored entry form for local group (where you can additionally add the details of the event you collected the emails)... please contact the Action Network Data Team
NEW There are now shortlinks available to local groups that help get new subscribers straight on to your list. Please book a 'health-check' of your Action Network list from the Action Network Data Team and then you will be assigned a link that looks like this joinxr.uk/nottingham
