The Dirty Dozen List is a great event for general conservative groups and libertarian groups alike.  Your group will set up a table to raise awareness about leftist bias on campus.  Often, administrators and student government associations are biased against conservative causes and actively promote a leftist agenda.  

Pick twelve instances of liberal bias on your campus and bring them to the attention of the student body.  Do the majority of student activities fees go towards sponsoring liberal speakers?  Let this be known to the news media and your fellow students.

This requires a fair amount of research on your part.  Review the list of Leftist Abuses and Bias on campus.  Comb through voter registration numbers. Look at past campus speakers. Get a copy of your student government budget. But on campus find a dozen different instances of bias. The event will be a direct attack on the leftist power on campus.

This event can be held at any time of the year.

HOW TO TAKE ACTION

1. Collect the materials needed for the event.  You will need to or acquire a table, informational flyers, and materials to make posters.  The type of materials will differ depending on what the dozen of examples are.

2. Reserve space on campus for the event. Contact the Student Activities Office and attempt to reserve the most high-traffic area available.

3. Invite allied organizations.  Ask other organizations on campus or in the outside community you think would be interested in reforming your campus to contribute to the purchase of supplies or set up a booth by your informational table.  Some academic freedom groups may even be interested in helping, regardless of political ideology.  This is a great way to strengthen cooperation between different groups in the conservative movement, and to increase attendance and volunteers in the form of members of the other groups.

4. Advertise!  Success depends on how well you publicize your event, so you should advertise early and often. This doesn’t necessarily mean paid advertising; “earned media” may work even better for you. Click here to learn several important publicity measures to use before, during, and after the event.

5. Prepare for opposition. Keep a video camera available at all times, and record any aggression -– both verbal and physical. If some behaves belligerently, ask why he or she objects to your exercise of your right to free speech.  For more information on how to deal with opposition on campus, reference "Fight Back."

6. Create a schedule.  Organize which people will be at the event at what time. Make sure you have at least one person who can talk to the media there or available to be immediately contacted at all times; you never know when members of the media will appear.

7. Hold your school responsible!  On the day of the event, set up your table at least half an hour before the time you set for the Dirty Dozen List to begin.  Have group members stand in front of your table asking students to come to the table and learn more.

8. Advertise! (again) The fact that your event is over does not mean that your public relations work is done. Earned media can be extremely useful to you. Click here to learn several important follow-up publicity measures to do after the event is finished.
