Legend
Organizations can vote/support each other's actions in one of the following ways:
| Sponsor | The organization originating, sponsoring or hosting the event ultimately responsible for the planning and logistics of the action posted to the AOT. | Co-sponsor | An organization which can be listed on promotional materials as an endorser. Co-Sponsors can expect to be contacted by the action sponsor for specific commitments. |
| Participate | At least one member of the organization has committed to attend or participate. |
| Support | The organization is in accord with the spirit of the action and approves. |
| Abstain | The organization has opted to refrain from voting on this action item - equivalent to a neutral vote. 501(c)(3) organizations might note abstain if their charter does not permit support, participation, etc. |
| Not Support | They do not agree with the proposed action or event's concept as they understand it. |
| They have not voted or have not yet decided how they will vote. |
Please note:
- Organizations may change their vote if the consensus of their constituents changes
- Sponsoring organizations may not vote on their own actions/events
Definitions
Actions are initiated at the Organizational level, and are designed to bring about effective changes towards peace and justice. Other organizations within the network may decide to co-sponsor and/or participate in actions. Another way organizations may promote an action is by offering "virtual" support, meaning that they agree with the reason, method and possible outcome of the action (but are not able to participate).
When an action achieves a 55% threshold (with at least 5 organizations either participating or co-sponsoring) the sponsoring organization composes an email describing the action in detail. That message is then transmitted to all individual members in the database and to those that have registered (142) on the web site to receive threshold action alerts. If you would like to receive these alerts, please visit our registration page.
Action Offspring are progeny or descendants of a particular action, and are initiated by other member-organizations in the network. Action Offspring provide a method for organizations to participate in actions by creating similar, regional events relating to the "parent" action. The host-organization of an Action Offspring enable guests or those interested in attending to contact them with questions or to obtain more information regarding the event.
In order to attend or to volunteer at an Action Offspring, you must sign-up via the web site, where you may note if you are bringing guests, and/or volunteering.
