MENTOR
Duane founded Fairsay in 2004. He called it that because it helps campaigners and campaign supporters "get a fair say in shaping their world". Which is also what we want to do.
Before that he worked for Oxfam as e-campaigning manager, which he did very well, massively increasing their online supporters. Then he set up the e-campaigning forum to discuss how to use phones and the internet and so on to change the world. Which is another thing we want to do.
If campaigning were the mafia, we'd all be calling him Don Raymond: he's worked on some huge and very successful international campaigns that you might have heard of - does Make Poverty History ring any bells?

'University fees are unfair. Doesn't everyone deserve a free education?'
ADVICE
- Build alliances with others to work towards the same goals in a coordinated but independent way
- Be creative - using the standard tactics doesn't stand out for the target, the public or journalists
- Do your research into how the change you want can be achieved and how to influence that
I WANT
THE I WANT TAG CLOUD
This is a tag cloud. It eats words, but only ones about how people want to change the world. You can click on a ‘want’ to agree or disagree. The more people agree with a want, the bigger it gets, until the tag cloud starts to wish it didn’t have eyes bigger than its stomach.
