  • strategy going forward
    • three parallel strategies:
      • 1) organizing inner circle
      • 2) reaching wider audience
      • 3) hosting events and stunts
    • exercises:
      • to raise $70,000 by Dec 12, we need just 2,000 people donating $35 on average (and campaigns with more than 150 donors generally succeed because of the snowballing effect)
      • so, let's draft lists: take 15min to list individuals and organizations that might donate, noting why they might want to, how much $, and how likely
    • top priorities:
      • coordinating Omni collectives
      • enrolling campaign "host committee"
      • soliciting high net-worth individuals
      • leveraging press contacts
      • leveraging local partners/org relationships
      • hosting excellent events
      • securing grants
  • action
    • bottom-lining various priorities?
    • weekly work and play?
