The following is a passage from one of our other wiki pages to demonstrate the maximum # of lines each section should include:

"Lots of groups have an overall orientation with their Theory of Change that allows for many different points of focus (or targets). HUB Advisor Amara Possian has adapted Marshall Ganz's writings to create this tight definition of a "campaign": "A campaign is a sequence of tactics with a clear goal, demand and target that helps achieve a particular change. Sitting down to create a campaign strategy assumes that group members are already aligned around a target or focus area... for example: shutting down fossil fuel projects in our region, Indigenous solidarity, antiracist action, fighting misogyny. Campaign strategy process should never begin with 'what should we focus on?' As opposed to group orientation, campaign strategy needs to get focused, specific about an achievable goal with a timeframe, and be grounded in reality. I.e. working with available resources and a solid power analysis of the target or system you are working to change."

Defending yourself against a criminal charge

Your appearance date is the first date on which evidence is presented. A date in the format will be established (to communicate and negotiate). Between court dates, it is difficult to communicate with the prosecutors. These meetings will allow for negotiation before a trial for reduced sentences with a guilty plea, a withdrawal of charges, an acquittal without trial etc. If no agreement is reached, the terms of the trial will be discussed.

The prosecution must prove guilt, a reasonable doubt must be raised in the mind of the person on trial. Sometimes this means not presenting a defence. The accused does not always have to testify. If the person is found guilty, there will be a sentencing trial. It follows a guilty plea or conviction (which results in a criminal record).

Legal aid for defence may be available if income is low. Many lawyers refuse these mandates because of their low income. This can affect the quality of their defence because of the time spent on it. A legal aid mandate can be refused. In this case, it is possible to request a review within 30 days. A person can defend themselves alone but should consult a lawyer and/or get support from advocacy groups.

"The trial must be held within a reasonable time." (18 to 30 months maximum). The decision may be rendered on the spot or several weeks later.

HUB co-director Jacqueline Tam elaborated on 'the buddy system'

Many groups navigate turnover by pairing new members with someone who has more experience. This strategy encourages relationship building and offers a point of contact for new members to go to with their questions. Your group can do this in a number of ways: Make being a ‘buddy’ to new members a specific role in your group; Allow new members to choose their buddy; Partner new members with existing members based on their area of interest. For example, if a new member is interested in communications pair them with the communications bottom-liner.
