Media Working Group
Goals and Objectives
1. Communicate to the media and general public our message about the World Summit and about achieving sustainability in the US.
2. Raise awareness and encourage engagement in calling for national and local leadership in promoting sustainability and the rights and needs of citizens and communities, in contrast to the current promotion of the rights and needs of corporations and industry.
3. Counter the PR spin which the White House and industry groups are expect to put on both the Summit and the meaning of "sustainable development."
4. Identify and get support of members of congress to help with this national campaign. Attract the attention of members of Congress, with special attention to those running for office in November, getting them to put sustainable development and our issues on their campaign agenda, as well as in Congress.
5. Get support by other US NGOs to actively support this campaign.
