Community Organizing
Cyan Strategies enlisted Working Green to build from the ground up a grassroots campaign to enlist local residents to hold elected officials accountable. Working Green created a member base of over a thousand residents in one town through a signature campaign, and then developed a leader group that would go on to host and lead meetings with their neighbors, speak to the media as well as lobby their local representatives with phone banking, e-mail campaigns and face-to-face meetings. A strong coalition was also built with local groups. The group ultimately changed the course of local policies to include an active citizenry base.
