The late Cesar Chavez, founder of the United Farm Workers,
was once asked what the secret to good organizing was. His response: “The
only way I know to organize is to talk to one person, then talk to another
person, then talk to another...”
The Sierra Club is most successful when it reaches out beyond its members
and makes new friends.
This can take a variety of forms, from tabling at community events to
knocking on doors to participating in public hearings to asking strangers
outside the supermarket to sign petitions.
The Sierra Club also works to build alliances with other groups, like
labor unions, religious groups, hunters and anglers, and poor and minority
communities. For example, in the spring of 2003, the Sierra Club and the
United Steelworkers began the first of 30 joint trainings focused on energy
solutions that provide good jobs and curb global warming.
 
Talk to your neighbors by tabling at public events or knocking on their
doors.
