ASA Organizers Handbook: The ASA Organizerıs Handbook
is a basic introduction to the organization, its values, and its goals. It also
contains step-by-step instructions for organizing an ASA Chapter and holding
meetings. The handbook explains basic organizing skills, like event planning,
public speaking, and communicating effectively. This tool is especially useful
in facilitating outreach and saving staff time. http://www.AmericansForSafeAccess.org/OrganizingHandbook
ASA Media Manual: Local and national media coverage is
an important part of informing communities, opinion leaders, and potential
allies about cannabis therapeutics and the challenges that patients, providers,
researchers and doctors face. Patients and advocates must often take the news to
print, broadcast, and online media outlets to be sure our voices are heard. It
is important that we shape how news about medical cannabis is reported and
how it is received by the public-at-large. Activists can use the tools in this
manual to find appropriate media, craft your message to be more effective, and
avoid common pitfalls that prevent you from communicating the message that will
support our goals.
