Need to decide whether or not to use this option. Timeline now rolling and AN email almost ready to go.
I think we should definitely use it. Itās working in WA and SA and highly regarded in the UK. But the main thing for me is trying to build a grassroots climate emergency movement in Australia for 13 years and how hard it has been without any financially supported positions. It has always seemed that we can get to a certain size and momentum with no $$ and then we ātop outā, burn out takes its toll and we fall back, build up again, fall back ā¦
In contrast, Lock the Gate, with just two Victorian organisers, mobilised a massive number of new groups and volunteers. The paid organisers were a massive support to new groups and volunteers and I never heard anyone complaining about their getting paid as they did a spectacular and heroic amount of work.
Their role was very similar to what is proposed for the AusMM mass mobilisers and I think/hope that these roles will work just as well - if we get the right people in them.

We in the Mobilisation WG are in direct contact with the UK mobilisers. The VLE experience has not been an issue there. Itās an enabling process. According to Roger H something like 20% of people required more than the basic VLE, 65% of mobilisers required the proposed VLE and 15% of mobilisers did not require any VLE. Phone and travel are separate from VLE.

Yes, this sounds much more like the regenerative activities pursued by people like Gandhi and Macy - community engagement and practices. Maggie
