going to a mass mobilization offers activists an opportunity to briefly live in the world we want to see. we have democratic spokescouncils, we share jobs, we solve our own problems, we provide for each other, we share skills, we learn skills...we spend those few days in participatory living on a mass level, not solely on a local level.

this handbook was written by activists who have participated in organizing to take nearly 100 different people from our community to 11 different actions for a total of about 120 person-trips. We've made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot. coming from a midwestern state has provided ample opportunities to learn how to travel to a mass mobilization. our community has participated in most of the north american mobilizations, from seattle to québec to cancún. sometimes effectively, sometimes walking away understanding that there is much to learn. we feel that we have discovered some things that work. we're hoping our experience can be useful to you.
