The formation of an alliance begins with the identification
of a person willing to organize and lead it who is supported
by an organization committed to the ICC. This identification
is usually confirmed in a visit to the area by AMICC's Convenor
or Deputy Convenor.
After the leader has found interested prospective alliance
members, the next step is a meeting to organize and start
the alliance. A member of the AMICC secretariat often comes
out again to help launch these meetings, meet with prospective
members, talk to editorial boards, appear on radio programs,
make speeches and presentations, and do anything else that
the alliance leader thinks will help arouse local interest
and commitment toward the creation of an active and effective
alliance.
While AMICC is unable to provide direct financial support
to alliances, it supplies alliance leaders with informational
and educational resources, advice, networking, and a wide
range of materials.

events and activities among alliance members; polling; regular
and constant contact with Congressmen and Senators and their
local offices; and work with the media, schools, and institutions
of higher learning.
