THE
FOOD NOT BOMBS
COLLEGE TOUR

TOOLS TO PROMOTE YOUR PRESENTATION

The more people that attend this presentation the more people that will be inspired to help change the world. Promoting your Food Not Bombs presentation will also give you a chance to practice some valuable skills. First invite as many campus groups as possible to co-sponsor the presentation. The co-sponsors will have their own email lists and contacts making it possible to reach more students. After arrainging a venue, time and date you are ready to promote the presentation. First email us the date, time, location of the venue and we will post it to the schedule on our website. You can also post the details on the websites of local studnet organizations and community groups. Your college might also have an electronic board that promotes campus events. You can use this check list to help organize the presentation and promotion.

YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Email or fax the public service announcement to your local student newspaper and campus radio station. You can also send the PSA to local newspapers, radio and TV stations off campus. Follow up with a phone call and ask them if they would be interested in interviewing members of your group and let them know Keith McHenry would also be happy to speak on their program or do an interview by phone. You can also email the PSA to your classmates and campus email lists. Post the PSA on local websites and email it to local activist groups in your area. Contacting the local and campus media is really important helping reach new people that might want to participate in a project like Food Not Bombs but are not part of your online social network. The issues addressed by this presentation are so important that we would like to involve as many people as possible. The news clips and media reports can be very helpful for you and your organization in the future. Future employers will be impressed to discover that your work was featured in the media.

TABLING

Your club or organization can promote the presentation by staffing a literature with copis of our flyers table at the student union, at concerts and downtown in your community. Keith loves to help staff your table the day of the event. He will make a point of meeting you just before lunch the day of the presentation. It is a great way to vist with Keith and your classmates get a chance to ask questions and share their ideas before the presentation.
