Subject: (abolition-usa) Thoughts on Strategy
Dear Friends,
Here are a some thoughts on principles related to strategy for a U.S. Abolition Campaign.
1. It should be focused on the goal of abolition and on specific steps along the way (de-alerting, No First Use, no further deployment of missile defense, CTBT ratification, etc). We must be careful and clear about not confusing any one step toward the goal with the goal itself.
2. It should be multi-layered, aimed at both decision-makers, the media, and the public. All efforts should be aimed at particular outcomes that are synergistic. For example, the public should be asked to press decision-makers for specific outcomes.
3. It should be segmentable so that different groups in the campaign can take responsibility for accomplishing clearly defined sub-goals within the campaign.
4. It should have agreed upon symbols and slogans for a large PR campaign.
5. It should have high profile military, political and celebrity spokespersons capable of getting the message out to the country as a whole.
6. It should be so compelling that even politicians and policy-makers will not be able to hold back the public demand for this progress on abolition.
7. It should try to forge links with political leaders and supportive countries as the landmines campaign did so successfully.
