An alliance of community and business organisations, we want to increase cycling in Milton Keynes. Our members have a vision. Using the method and tools of Community Organising, we want wins. Join us.

 

Community Organising is an approach to community change which develops leaders, strengthens their institutions and brings them together to create system change.

1. Organise	Organise an alliance of pro-cycling business, education and community institutions, through 121 meetings with their leaders; organise money power.
2. Listen	Listen to member institutions talk about the issues preventing more people from cycling. Organise listening campaigns across all alliance members.
3. Plan	Plan SMART goals which address the issues using tools of power analysis to identify powerholders, e.g. Council, education and police leaders.
4. Act	Act on powerholders, using turnout, testimony, humour and media (where appropriate), to get their reaction and specific public pledges.
5. Negotiate	Negotiate with powerholders to ensure pledges are fulfilled and powerholders held to account.
