Key resources
How we organized
- Coordination huddle: Student leads met virtually one week out to share slogans, art styles, and campus approval notes.
- Day-of squads: Each campus mobilized early-morning chalk teams plus a documentation buddy capturing photos and stories.
- Amplification: Social posts rolled out hourly using
#Mobilize4Gaza,#AllEyesOnGaza, and#Students4Palestinewith campus tags. - Follow-up: Teams sent highlights to Mobilize4Gaza for aggregation and collected interest for future actions.
Document and share
Amplify the message even after the chalk fades.
- Capture the process: Sketching, chalking, passersby reactions, and final pieces.
- Share immediately: Post same-day on Instagram, TikTok, and campus channels using the shared hashtags.
- Credit artists: Tag contributors and link to educational resources about Gaza.
- Archive assets: Save media in a drive folder so organizers can reuse for reports and presentations.
Why it matters
The chalk wave demonstrated that simple, visual actions can activate new volunteers and open conversations about Gaza. Pair this toolkit with teach-ins, screenings, or tabling to keep momentum going on your campus.
