Say "NO" to increased Traffic Congestion!

Resources for Local Groups

Here are a few things that can help kick start local groups that are just starting their battles:
 
1. Learn local procedures! Become informed of your local processes in regards to commercial applications to build stores. Most towns have a Planning board that handles these types of applications, but every town is different.
 

2. Were meetings announced? Make sure your town had has announced all meetings in a public place and with enough notice. Most towns announce their public meetings in the local newspapers. They are required to give notice around 7 days prior to the meetings.
 

3. Learn about your council members! Show up to town council meetings and let them know your concerns. Find out where council members stand on the issue.
 
4. Write letters! Write letters to the editor of your local newspapers. This will inform the town that you are serious and will help inform other citizens.
 

5.  Hold your own local meetings! You can often find free space in your local library. Local union halls also may be willing to offer meeting space. This is a good way to notify the public about what is happening and to build a good base for fighting Wal-Mart.
 

6. Collect Signatures! Create a petition and go door to door to collect signatures. You may also be able to stand outside unionized grocery stores in the area. Some small mom and pop stores may be willing to place the petitions in their stores.
