People have been asking us here at 1 Block Off the Grid how we grow these solar energy buying clubs – how we create the “communities” that are so essential to our programs. There are lots of ways! We are in the business of organizing people, and giving them the tools to organize each other.
Organizing is a tried and true art form. It means calling up your neighbors and friends and meeting at your town hall. It means writing letters to your community leaders, and standing on street corners, cheering for your cause, whatever your cause is. It means taking a Saturday afternoon, rolling up your sleeves, putting on your walking shoes, and knocking on the doors in your neighborhood, talking to folks about the things that are important to you. The things that are important to us, of course, have to do with solar power, and with the renewable energy movement! And we, at 1BOG, are putting our money where our mouth is!
We are going canvassing for solar energy this weekend!
If you’re in the Bay Area, check out our Facebook event about it!
And if you’re not in the Bay Area, forward it to your friends!
We plan on going through the neighborhood, spreading the word about 1BOG, serving as “boots on the ground”, and inviting participants and friends to join!
Oh, and, If you haven’t seen this yet, check it out to find out more. Word.
