The sun is out, the emails are (slightly) slower, and campaigners everywhere are catching their breath. But just because the halls of power quiet down doesn’t mean your movement has to.
Summer is the perfect time to plant seeds for impact.
Here are seven productive and easy ways to boost your campaign this summer ☀️🌱
1. Refresh Your Campaign with Seasonal Messaging
Tie your cause to what people are thinking about right now:
Use this time to:
Connect your issue to seasonal realities (e.g., housing insecurity in heat waves, climate action during wildfire season)
Reference upcoming legislative recesses or committee sessions
Highlight that while decision-makers may be on vacation, your community can’t afford to pause
🎯 Examples:
“While Parliament is out, our voices stay in the streets.”
“Extreme heat is here - demand urgent housing policy reform.”
“Summer is not a break for families facing injustice. Let’s act now.”
This tone builds urgency without sounding alarmist, and reinforces that advocacy is a year-round commitment.
Summer’s not a slowdown, it’s a launchpad for the next big wave of action. Whether you’re building petitions poolside or mapping calls from a cabin, every little action adds up.
