• Talk to friends and relatives, as appropriate.
• Request, or organize, a church adult-education class using our Out of Horror, Hope: curriculum.
• Organize a church, or other community, forum.
• Call and write government officials and the media.
• Publish an article in the popular or academic press; you might find our relevant quotations and other resources helpful.
• Sign and/or circulate petitions and letter-writing campaigns.
• Or look for inspiration in other action guides, such as:
  • Amnesty International's
    • Organizing Guide for faith communities and interfaith groups
    • Get Involved in interfaith activism
    • Denounce Torture Action Guide
  • Center for Victims of Torture's CVT Advocacy
  • Unitarian Universalist Service Committee's STOP campaign
