Thread: The Neighborhood Activation Plan. Wanna Create Your Own Secret Society?

We find ourselves in a terrible situation, where everything we do and say is recorded and analyzed by our fascist government. How then are we to unite with each other against injustice without being infiltrated, subverted and preempted?

Here's an idea. This is a formula for win.

Imagine 2 or 3 neighbors you know and trust coming to your door with this instructions sheet:
(Any suggestions for improvement are welcome.)

Neighborhood Activation
For safe, covert and efficient distribution of news and community plans

Terms you should know:
Trail: The path taken while talking to neighbors. It is decided upon by those who take part.

Activation Squad/Trail Team: These are members of the Activation. Specifically, these are those members who take part in the main function of the Activation by traveling on foot in teams in order to spread the Activation's message with neighbors.

Kicker: The initial Neighborhood Activation drive creator and writer of the Activation's Message.

Kicker's Instructions: Alterations to the General Instructions found on this sheet. These are seperate from the Message.

Kicker's Message: This is the fuel and main reason for the Activation. It is either news that needs to spread secretly, or a plan to organize and protest or take action in some way.


General Instructions:
- Show these instructions to each neighbor you visit so they understand the rules and that you would like them to take part as an equal in the Activation. Do not show or tell them the Kicker's message unless they agree with the instructions and are interested in taking part in an Activation. You should hint as to what it is regarding though, without giving away any details about the Kicker's message.

- Anyone may decline taking part in the Activation if they do not agree with the message or plan. However, as a courtesy to their neighbors involved in the Activation, they are expected to not tell anyone about the Activation, message, or plan for at least 3 hours after hearing about it.

- There are no leaders of these movements. Everyone is an equal member on the team. Do not try to force any member to do anything they do not want to do.

- No digital devices on the trail. Leave your cellphones, cameras, audio recording and GPS devices at home.

- Do not plead with or coerce any neighbor to take part in the Activation. If they are interested in taking part, they will. If not, then please leave them alone.

- Beware of eavesdroppers. Try to keep your conversations quiet and out of earshot of others. It should be assumed that children living in the home of the visited or unexpected people in these homes could be listening. Try to get a private audience, and try to let the papers do most of the talking.

- Do not call, text or fax anyone about the message. Do not digitally store or spread the message in any way unless otherwise specified by the Kicker's Instructions. It may be requested that you never reveal the Activation to anyone, or it may be requested that you delay the release of associated information for a limited amount of time, as specified by the Kicker.

- Only approach neighbors you know. Of those, only choose neighbors that members of the Activation Squad believe would be receptive to the news or plan and would be trustworthy enough to not compromise the Neighborhood Activation.

- Do not leave the written message with anyone who does not take part in the Activation Squad.

- Each member should be asked to visit at least 3 of their own neighbors on the trail. Sometimes, neighbors not known by a member will be visited by that member, though some member of the squad must know and trust the neighbor.

- Walk - do not drive - to your neighbors for the first 3 homes you visit, unless walking is not a viable option. After 3 homes, you may travel by other means to your friends and family to get the message to them and start new Activation Teams to get the word out in new neighborhoods. Try to bring other members from the trail team along with you when you are going outside of your own neighborhood.

- The ideal number of members on a trail team is 3. Too many members may scare away neighbors that you visit. Once a team hits 4 members, the team should split into 2 teams.

- Discussion about potential visits to make are to be discussed and voted on quickly. Do not spend more than 2 minutes talking and voting about whether to make a visit to someone.

- Although documents used or created during the Activation may eventually be of historical importance or sentimental value, ALL documents used or created during the Activation are to be burned and disposed of within 2 days of the creation of such documents. This is to pacify fears of Activation members regarding the possibility of receiving unjustified, unconstitutional blowback from natural accusers and/or predators. The sale, display, depiction or preservation of such documents will most likely be considered an affront to members of the Activation, unless otherwise specified in writing by the Kicker.

- After a new member on the Squad visits their first house, they are then temporarily given another member's copy of the Kicker's instructions and message and so they may write down a personal copy. Do not use any digital devices to duplicate or retain the message.

- The process for any visit goes as follows: Ask your neighbor if they have time to read the instructions and hear the message. Let them read these general instructions. Ask them if they are interested in continuing and if they agree to follow these instructions. If they are, then show them the Kicker's instructions. These are the modified instructions from this instructions sheet, created by the Kicker. If they agree to those instructions, let them read the message. You may talk about it for a bit, especially if explanations are needed. The visited neighbor should then be asked if they will take part on the Activation Trail Team.

- If they can't take part in the Activation Trail Team right away, but agree with the message and are willing to take part in the final plan, tell them to come and talk to one of the team members later to get the specifics they need, as you cannot leave the message with them.

- Upon departure from the group, give your copy of the general instructions to a new member. The Kicker should have provided enough copies of the general instructions to the original team so that the future teams will not run out of them right away. Please do not hold on to the general instructions. They can be found online.
