What You Can Do
-Circulate petitions. These are expressions of people objecting to forced spraying and not legal petitions to get an initiative on the ballot: so, children can sign, your out-of-town visitors can sign, non-US citizens can sign.
-Write letters to the Editor of your local paper
-Contact your Supervisor and the Agricultural Commissioner to tell them you object to this plan and demand changes.
-Contact your local city governments. They have no direct authority but could make it difficult for the county to act within their city limits, and put more pressure on the county to revise its plan.
-Give your neighbors flyers and let them know about our next community meeting. Have a meeting of your neighbors and see if you can form an affinity group with them to jointly protect your neighborhood from spraying.
-Let your children's school and parents' association know of the danger should the spraying taking place, and urge them to make a public statement of their opposition.
-Place "No Spray" signs on your property, in your windows, at your place of work, encourage others to do the same.
-Make donations so that we can futher public awareness through newspaper space buys, billboards, bumper stickers, and pursue legal options.
-Ask your employer to take a position against forced spraying and send it to the Chamber of Commerce, the Supervisors, and your city government.
-Volunteer a few hours to help the No Spray Action Network with telephone calls, database work, publication design and printing, etc.
-Volunteer to work with an existing committee (see other side)
-Take a non-violence, direct action training class and work with others who will participate in the direct opposition to spraying.
