How to herd the cats

[Steve Jones-D'Agostino]

We're meeting in three weeks with the two banks and two credit unions
that belong to Worcester Local First, to discuss launching a Move Your
Money campaign for Worcester. Do you have any tips, suggestions, and/
or hints on how to best organize local, independent banks and credits
unions to work collaboratively and well with each other on such a
campaign?

Hi, this sounds really great. We have a brochure that groups can use
to figure out what are good banks for Worcester and can be used as a
flyer for the public.

I am from Worcester! We'd love to hear what you all are planning.

Actually, we think the best way to start with local credit
unions/banks is to launch a campaign to a. figure out who our local
government is banking with and b. to start publicizing and organizing
people on the issue. e.g. you can get credit unions and citizens to
donate money for a billboard that points out how small/local is better
than big banks, we can match local donations with national donations
on the web. the billboard is a small goal, and the strategy itself is
something other people will want to learn about, we can publicize and
invite press to cover.

Also, if you have a planning meeting, we can send out to our members
and invite them to come.
