Our aim is to:
EDUCATE ourselves and campus community members on pressing issues like OSAP Cuts, Tuition Hikes, Bill 33, Bill 5/C-5!
AGITATE the status quo by demanding free and accessible education plus collective liberation for all oppressed peoples!
ORGANIZE for a decolonial future by mobilizing and participating in virtual & in-person calls to action!
Campaign Cycle: EDUCATE, AGITATE, ORGANIZE AND CELEBRATE!
The campaigns cycle is a useful tool that outlines what happens through the course of a campaign. The cycle can also be used to keep us on track and help us remain consistent throughout the stages of a campaign. The campaign cycle is not linear; it is cyclical. It involves educating community members on the issues and demands, agitating people to get involved and escalate the issue to those in power, and organizing mass mobilization and public actions to pressure decision makers into making changes. During campaigning we make decisions with the end result of achieving maximum impact.
While moving through the stages of educating, agitating and organizing we must be constantly and consistently evaluating and reflecting on if the campaign is resonating with community members on and off campus.
Typically, a campaign starts with educating members, but there might not always be time for prolonged education work especially if an issue arises quickly and requires immediate engagement and participation. It is important to note that education should occur throughout every stage of the campaign cycle. By continuing to revisit the cycle we will
engage more and more community members to do great campaigns work and collectively mobilize towards the same goal. (HINT HINT: Collective Liberation including Free & Accessible Education for ALL!)
