Thank you for being part of our team of Revolutionaries building kindness in the context of Coronavirus. There is no doubt in my mind that this Campaign is changing the world. What a beautiful, beautiful revolution to be part of. But please know that the most important thing here ... the most important thing of all, is YOU. Please take care of you and please do not do more that you can. Please tell me or another team member if you are experiencing difficulties. I care about you - and we are so grateful that you are with us on this massive journey.
Be kind to yourself, you matter.
​Thanks Catherine

  1. Current campaigns
  2. Guidelines for Admin
  3. Team roles 

1. Campaigns

  • Between now and the end of the year, engagement with the page (and membership) is likely to wane ...
  • What do we need to consider? 
  • What Campaigns do we want to prioritise while we still have members attention?
  • What now works with Campaigns? (what do we know about how to get members attention): first person narratives work (posted by narrator, in written word rather than film, and with pics). Having posts ready for the day the Campaign is launched - preferably posted by the narrator - so that members can follow their lead. Having key stakeholders as partners - they do media release, ensure campaign is spot on and help us recruit posts for the launch  🚀 
  • Volunteer platform: what is most likely good use of this platform? Maybe - reach out to Uni students and people unemployed as 'campaign champions' to promote campaigns and build posts ready for launch - pitched in manner that the roles are valuable for the CV
