Flock Outreach Phase: Month 1

The goal this month should be to move from research into public organizing: petition signatures, volunteer onboarding, and developing a steady weekly rhythm that gives supporters something to do every week.

We should continue not centering City Hall turnout. That pressure will come later, once we have a stronger base of support.

June should focus on:

• Getting petition signatures
• Identifying volunteers
• Inviting people to the next outreach opportunity
• Testing which locations work best
• Creating an onboarding process for volunteers

Planned Actions

Weekly Public Outreach Shift

Run one public hand-to-hand flyer and petition shift every week.

Each week, we should pick one location type:

• Bus / transit station
• Library
• Farmers market or public event
• Community center

The goal is not to do everything at once. The goal is to build a good outreach cadence that we can carry forward and that others can join.

Outreach Event Structure

Each outreach shift should include:

• 60-90 minutes
• Two-person minimum
• Petition link or signup sheet
• Flyers or half-sheets
• Quick debrief before and after
• Contact signers within 72 hours after the shift

Outreach Asks

Main ask:

Stockton residents deserve real safety, not private Flock surveillance. Can you sign the petition to remove Flock and get updates about future actions?

Secondary asks:

• Can we text or email you about the next campaign action?
• Would you volunteer for a future flyer shift?
• Would you share the petition with other people?
• Do you want updates when we go to City Hall or organize another public action?
