Rebel Ringers Parties

A Rebel Ringer Party with your friends, affinity group or local XR Rebelsgroup is not only a lot of fun, but importantly it is a way of strengthening your group as well as also being a key tool for growing and strengthening our Movement. Never under-estimate the power of phone campaigns;campaigns, they have been a key part of all social movements since the popularity of the telephone!

What you'll need:

• You. If you're reading this, you're probably the type of person who makes things happen in your group. You can make calls too, don't worry, but someone has to pull all this together so make sure you've got that person.
• Venue. This could be someone's living room, or hire a space. Just somewhere quiet and where people will feel comfortable.
• Snacks. Make sure people have some nibbles and beverages, they're putting in effort for you. Give them some fuel, or ask people to bring things to share.
• List of numbers. Who are you going to call? Not the Ghost Busters, so who? We usually have some phone numbers some of the people on your Local Group email list, talk to your Gardener or contact Rebel Ringers about this.
• A reason for calling. Make sure you have a good reason to pick up the phone. Are you inviting people to an upcoming action or event?
• Script. This doesn't have to be a line-by-line of what to say, it's whybetter companiesif spendnot. soBut muchyou onshould thisbe aspectprepared with all the details you want to communicate, think about common questions people might ask, and what questions you might want to ask of theirwho messaging...you're Itcalling.

• Volunteers. Think about how many people you want to call, and how long a call might take. This will give you an indication of how many people you need to make the calls.
• Record keeping. We in Rebel Ringers can support you with using our tool to keep a track of calls. This is important, you need to know who you have called, a place to record answers to any questions you ask, and importantly a way to remove people from the list if they don't want to be contacted in future. Email us for support.

With a strong base of Rebel Ringers ready to spring into action, we can quickly contact tens of thousands of people to encourage them to join us on the streets for the next big Rebellion. :-)

In the meantime Rebel Ringers will continue to provide that personal connection to let Rebels know about local actions, sources of support and to ensure that as many people as possible join their XR local groups, get involved in remote support, but most importantly, get trained up to organise and stay informed to changes impacting on our on-going Rebellion!
