Action of the Month

Takes: 5 minutes
NCT Active is one year old and we’ve be growing stronger each month and achieving change for parents in all four countries of the UK. To be at our strongest we need to keep recruiting new members as well as supporting our current activists.

That’s why this month your Action of the Month is to recruit two new members. You can invite them by phone, email, in person or by any other creative way that you can think of. If you manage to recruit more than two please drop us a line at active@nct.org.uk and let us know how you did it and of course ask them to take the same action themselves!

TAKE ACTION

May MythBuster

When Barack Obama won the US Presidency in November it was a milestone in one of most innovative and successful campaigns of all time. It was also the most expensive campaign ever run for the US Presidency. But the actions that he asked his supporters to take required little or no money, often using nothing more than their powers of persuasion to communicate his campaigning action- voting. Creating a phone tree or email bank and utilising an “each one teach one” strategy means that new activists can find out about a campaign from the most trusted spokespeople of all: their peers. Free, easy and effective!
