Activism

In the coming months, I will post lessons, information, and resources regarding Grass Roots Change Systems (GRCS), which are tools designed to affect change on government by public activism.

GRCS maximize effectiveness by combining professional corporate tools and management to proven grass roots activism systems toward creating synergies that assure organized control over government when it fails to be representative of the people.

Most nonprofit groups involved with activism are ineffective simply because they fail to utilize most GRCS tools or to use them effectively under a well planned strategy and action plan.

For federal issues, it is not enough to work on the local level or just the national level, but both levels must be engaged fully. GRCS provides the key management tools often missing in today’s nonprofit and volunteer groups, giving them more understanding and effectiveness in their activism.

The key to GRCS is to have all tools ready to go before any are needed, thus preparation and planning are mainstays of success. 

Of all the tools available to GRCS, the average nonprofit  or volunteer group typically use less than 15%. Groups that utilize 75% of more are groups that have meaningful vand even historic victories and success.

GRCS shows leaders how to raise needed funding and keep it growing to ensure as many GRCS tools as possible can be engaged. Most volunteer groups and nonprofits involved with activism generally suffer from clear lack of funding or volunteers or both and GRCS shows techniques and tools to avoid such negative outcomes.

The national Tea Party movement is a fairly good activism example that utlizes many of the tools of GRCS. In contrast, the stop illegal immigration movement is a prime example of failing to apply GRCS applications. Both models are great learning tools—one to see how organizing success works on a national to local level, and the other to see how organizing failure is ensured by allowing splintering and disunity to fester.
