- The name and email address of at least one Project Activator (the "who is doing it")
- Link(s) to project site(s), notes, and other information

Follow these steps to get yourself going...
The Big Question
If you have an issue, an interest or a project, then what you do next depends on whether or not that issue is in the list above. So ask yourself "is it there or is it not there?"
If It Is There: Helping With Existing Projects
If you see your issue in the project list above, then click the link to go to the project conduit page, find the email address for the Project Activator, and drop that person (or persons) an email note telling them that you want to help or that you want to know more. Someone (maybe the activator or maybe someone else who is involved) will get back to you and tell you how you can join in the effort.
If It Isn't There: Starting A New Project
If you don't see a project in the list that addresses your issue, then follow this simple procedure:
- Compose an email stating your idea. Remember to keep the goal realistic and attainable. Ex: "Stop Global Warming" is definitely an issue, but that's a tall order for a single project. "Pass legislation authorizing tax incentives for solar panels in CA" is a little more like it.
- Generally speaking, the Committees and Working Groups will assume that you, as the person with the idea, want to function as Project Activator. But you should also give the names of any other people who also want to function in that role (there can be more than one).
- If you know what Committee or Working Group the project belongs under,
then send your email to the
co-cordinator of that group. Ex:
suppose you are trying to reform election law in Modoc County; that's
Electoral Reform Working Group. Suppose you are trying to form a local in
Kings County - that's Grass Roots Organizing Workshop.
Note: You don't need to guess - if you don't know, or if you have any doubt at all about the Committee or Working Group, then simply send your email to the Co-Co of the Green Issues Working Group and he/she will figure it out for you.
That's all there is to it! And here is what will happen:
- Someone will get back to you saying "I heard you" and giving you additional details
- The project will get added to the list above
- A project conduit page will be created for use as a "conduit" to your own page, or email list, or whatever. Then, the next Green with an interest that comes along can, like you just did, start with "The Big Question" and offer to help you.
