Watch a good model on how to get commitments using the 4C’s framework of action. The video was recorded as part of learning during a lecture lead by Marshall Ganz and it shows how to effectively get a commitment.

If you are using this for training purposes on action part of community organizing this is a suggest prompt for you to use.
Observe this interaction between an organiser and a person passing by on the street. Reflect on how the organiser (Jeff) gains the person’s (Sarah’s) commitment: 

• What strategies did the organiser use to get the person’s attention and hold it? What worked, what didn’t?
• What information about the campaign did the organiser share with the person walking by and why?
• What was the ask and how did the organising elicit commitment?
