Regional Response Teams

Join STAND’s Regional Response Team!

The STAND Regional Responders will be a team of dedicated activists trained in advocacy tactics and strategies, divided according to STAND region and state, to hold the Obama administration accountable to fighting genocide on Day One. Equipped with advanced lobbying tools, these activists will ensure that the new administration upholds its promise of “unstinting resolve” to end the genocide in Darfur. This team will be responsible for engaging with their peers and community members to produce consistent pressure on the new administration. In addition to taking action and participating directly in the 100 Days campaign, Responders will be called on to help develop new and creative advocacy tactics, reach out to other activists to increase participation, and respond immediately to urgent calls for action, especially as they apply to their district or state.

Main responsibilities:

As a member of a Regional Response Team, your responsibilities will include:

• Participation in advocacy training calls on how to lobby effectively
• Constant communication with Outreach Coordinator
• Staying up-to-date on the current situation in Darfur, the newest domestic response, local efforts and the latest campaign asks through the following mechanisms
• Possibly writingblog posts for the STAND website
• Taking part in campaign actions as well as promoting them to others
• Setting up lobby meetings with key senators identified by STAND/GI-NET
• Training other activists to lobby and encourage them to participate in lobby meetings when needed
• Helping increase participation in urgent action requests (such as call-ins or faxing senators) in key states

Structure:

You will join a small regional group made up of top activists. As a Responder, you will commit to not only participating in the campaign, but also playing an integral role in making it successful and encouraging others to participate.

You will stay in touch with the STAND leadership team primarily through your Outreach Coordinator. You should expect to receive information regarding urgent actions, and campaign updates.
