Choose Your Format
Events can take many forms: a casual meetup at a coffee shop, an educational workshop at a community center, an info table at a local market, or a neighborhood gathering in a park. Choose the format that fits your audience and resources. There's no wrong way to spread the word about clean clams.
Pick a Date and Venue
Choose a date at least 2-3 weeks out to give yourself time to prepare and promote. For venues, think about what's accessible and welcoming: community centers, parks, libraries, churches, or even your own home. Many public spaces are free to reserve.
Prepare Your Materials
Download and print pamphlets from our Resources page: 'What Is Clean Clams?', 'The Clean Clam Standards Guide', and 'Join the Movement' flyers. Have a sign-up sheet for our mailing list. If you have union gear (t-shirts, banners), bring it for visual impact.
Promote the Event
Spread the word through social media, neighborhood message boards, word of mouth, and flyers. Post in local community groups online. Ask friends to share. The more personal the invitation, the better the turnout. Even a small gathering can have a big impact.
Run the Event
Welcome everyone warmly. Briefly introduce yourself and the Clean Clams mission. Share pamphlets. If it's a workshop format, walk through the Standards Guide together. Encourage questions and conversation. Share your own story of why you care about clean clams. End with an invitation to join the union or attend a brotherhood event.
Follow Up
After the event, send a thank-you message to attendees. Share photos on social media. Forward any mailing list signups to the union through our website. And consider making it a regular occurrence — consistent outreach builds lasting momentum.
