STEP 4: MAKING YOUR ACTION PLAN Now that you have gone through Steps 1-3, choose and complete an action planning form (<strong>page</strong>s 240-242). Choose or create one most suitable to your group and specific action. You may wish to have one action plan for actions aimed at long term goals and several others for individual, short-term actions. Remember to include a section on follow-up and evaluation. Congratulations! You have now completed the following steps: STEP 1: DEFINING THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO MAKE STEP 2: ARTICULATING THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO MAKE STEP 3: PREPARING FOR ACTION STEP 4: MAKING YOUR ACTION PLAN Now it is time for: STEP 5: TAKING ACTION Follow your action plan and use the skills you’ve gained to clearly address social change no matter how small the step. Give yourself a reasonable amount of time to accomplish your goal and set a date to follow-up. STEP 6: FOLLOWING-UP Once you have begun to take action, reconnect with your group regularly. Communicate the successes or challenges you faced when taking action. Review the following questions: 1. Did you follow the action plan? What successes did you have? What challenges did you encounter? 2. If you met your goal: • What factors contributed to your success? • How can you build on this success? • Should you repeat this strategy? 3. If your goal was not met: • What revisions need to be made to the action plan? • Does additional research need to be completed? • Are additional resources needed? 4. What are your next steps for action? • Do you have another action to take? 238 HUMAN RIGHTS. YES! ACTION AND ADVOCACY ON THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
It is important to monitor and keep track of your actions. Record your progress on the action planning forms and celebrate your successes! Working and advocating in concert with one another as individuals or organized groups is the most effective way to create social change. Collaborative work can be challenging. It requires working through conflict to achieve a consensus or agreement, but it is vital to enabling the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all. Remember: “A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead PART 3: ADVOCACY! TAKING ACTION FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES 239
