As you're planning your Green Jobs Now event, you'll have several things to keep in mind.  To help you stay on track, here's a checklist about some logistical details you might need to consider.

• Securing a location for the event and getting permits (if necessary).
• Ensuring there is a way to get to the event by public transportation or that there is nearby parking. 
• Ensuring that participants know how to find the event and have directions.
• Arranging for rides or carpools to the event.
• Preparing and purchasing refreshments for the event.
• Setting up photo and video documentation for your event.
• Getting all the materials you need: paper, clipboards, pens/pencils, camera, video camera, "Green Jobs Now" signs and banners, copies of the "I'm Ready" petition, copies of your press release (pg. 12), educational handouts, decorations, etc. 
• If there are reporters, appointing someone to greet the media, and making sure there are participants to speak with them and give them press materials.
• If there are speakers, arranging to introduce them and getting their biographies.  Also making sure they'll be around to talk to the press.
