The Outreach Committee will be responsible for coordinating 350 Chicago’s efforts to recruit new volunteers, sharing information about the group with the public, collaborating with ally organizations, building coalitions, and conducting petition drives. We will hold new member coffees before monthly educational meetings, send personalized emails to new volunteers based on their stated interests, schedule one-on-one meetings with new volunteers, and help new members get involved in working groups. We will create materials to be used for outreach, including brochures, fliers, one-page handouts, and postcards. We will table at concerts, festivals, and markets to recruit new volunteers and promote public awareness of our work to address the climate crisis. We will maintain our allies document and reach out to allies about possible collaboration, including ways 350 Chicago can support the work of our allies. We will build coalitions of interested allies, including for our current divestment campaign. We will coordinate work with other 350 local chapters. When opportunities arise, we will collect petition signatures through our listserv and attendance at events. For example, we are now collecting signatures in support of the Clean Energy Jobs Act.
