and mobilization.

Not that we necessarily need to boycott (although that can be on the table as well), but as a template for organization, focus, leadership and momentum on a grass roots level

1) we need to determine what our demand is. We need to clearly articulate our target, desired outcome and consequence if that demand is not met

2) who are our community, local and national leaders in this effort?

3) what is required of each individual toward the effort and what is the duration?

4) what is our short term plan to meet our needs during the effort? Long term? Meaning, if we boycott stores (for example), where/how will we meet our daily needs? As an example, during the bus boycotts, we still had to go to work, so folx volunteered their cars to take neighbors, etc. to work.

5) how do we compel each other?

These are just a few questions that need to be addressed. There are many more...
