Coalition of Anti-Smog Organizations in Silesia

This is a meeting of Silesian organizations fighting smog and climate change. We will accomplish 3 things.

But first, here is a map of Polish organizations fighting smog.
https://StopSmog.info

And here are the organizations in Katowice fighting Smog and Climate Change.
https://StopSmog.info/katowice

The issues are related, people fighting smog and climate change are natural allies.

The first thing we are going to do is to make sure that all of the Silesian organizations are listed, and that their information is correct. It is quite easy to do. StopSmog.info is a content management system. Anyone can add an organization. Every user or group can edit their own pages using the Polish WYSIWYG ckEditor. One can also add images.

If your organization is not listed, or just has a brief description and a link please click on the "Add Organization" buttom to provide more information. Also if you know of an organization which is not listed, please add it, so that I can contact them.

Next I will show you how to access your user's data, and send them emails. StopSmog.Info is like Meetup.com for activist organizations. Users can "join" your group, you can schedule events, you can email announcement to your group members, and the site admin can email announcements to all Katowice members, all Silesian members, or all Polish members. We will learn how all of this works. And how you can use these tools to increase engagement with your group.

And finally we will talk about coalition building. Events posted by one group, can be emailed out to members of other groups. There are also other ways to share publicity. The climate strikers often hold climate strikes, lots of people see them, but they do not collect any user information. And worse yet they receive hostility. But everyone hates Smog. People are enthusiastic about joining anti-smog organizations. So let us talk about how these different groups can cooperate. I have some suggestions.

Long term the database will be used to support politicians committed to fighting smog and climate change.

And of course all of these pages need to be translated to Polish.

Comments most appreciated.

Thank you for your engagment on this issue.
