[fvc-wat-disc] OUTREACH ON PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION

[David dirks]

Hello Fair Voters.
It has been awhile since I last reached out to you.  All the v best in 2019! 
In September, we invited you to identify organizations, groups and individuals in our community which/who share like interests to ourselves.  Given the results in BC and the potential in Quebec and PEI, the value of outreach is all the clearer.
 Our goals remain to:
 * create awareness of FVC-Wat * offer an opportunity to further educateabout PR & the issues * invite endorsement of our work withan invitation to engage or join with us in the future Again, we simply ask that if you are aware of or are involved with a group, which would be interested, please let us know.  We all understand that in countries with PR, there is less income inequality, women arebetter represented in government, action on climate change is greater, there is less "policy lurch" and so on. 

Our target remains coalitions orgroups, agencies, perhaps church social action committees and key leaders in ourcommunity.  Ideally, they have some community profile and the potential for outreach themselves. 
 We would follow up with the identified group or individual to: * describe who we are & ourgoals* talk succinctly about the benefitsto good policy of a PR system* speak briefly and specifically tothe area of interest of the group or individual* articulate our asks (endorsement; opportunityto learn more about PR; invitation to join with us)* provide contact name (s) forfollow-up.
As always WE NEED YOU!  do you know any groups,agencies or individuals which fit our criteria?  An interest in the issue, communityprofile, community connections, key leader. If you think of one,please let us know.  We will need the nameof the individual/group/agency; (e)mailing address (if possible); contact name towhom we direct any follow up (very important).
Thank you in advance.
Yours in electoral reform....
