Communicate with Target

• An initial meeting should be scheduled with the decision-maker or target to present your issue and hopefully to obtain their support, but with the understanding that the target is unlikely to concede to the request for change. Approximately 3 to 8 people should attend this initial meeting with the target.
  
• Later, if the target is non-responsive to the group's request, schedule another meeting in which you assemble a group 15 to 25 people to demonstrate your support and seriousness.
  
• Educate the volunteers and provide them with talking points.
  
• Be prepared with fact sheets about the relevance and importance of the problem locally.
