simple and practical tools to help you kick start and energise your campaigning

Campaigning Tools Pamphlet

This short pamphlet sets out my simple and practical approach to campaigning, which has been tried and tested around the world over the last 20 years. It is all rooted in a simple understanding of campaigning, which is around having a clear problem, knowing the solution to that problem, knowing who has the power to make that change, and then seeking persistently to influence that person directly and indirectly to get the change you want to see.
