Stage 5: Develop a local strategy

It's time to take a deep dive into campaign work and your group's priorities.

Develop your local strategy

This is a substantial piece of work and can take some time to come together, with group discussions and activities over a couple of meetings.

First, meet up to:

• Learn about the difference between strategy and tactics
• Hear about ACF's national and local campaign priorities

Then hold a Strategy Planning Day to explore:

• Which issues in your local area intersect with the national systemic issues?
• What local opportunities might help us get to some of these objectives?

And finally you'll develop your goals together, and plan out the critical steps your group needs to take to win on your campaigns.

"Our group now has a market stall once a month, that's our staple. We also have other events, visit politicians, drum up support for climate marches, lobby for local conservation issues and door knock." Carolyn Berezovsky — Taringa, QLD
