Tabling as a tactic for March Fourth for March 4th. 

I attended an event on campus to spread the awareness about criminal justice along with other groups that shared their social movement. The tabling tactic on campus was to raise awareness about our social movement and pre-trail expansion. I feel the the tabling tactic is perfect to engage the public to support and even join our social movement and raise awareness to the issue. As I say at the table I realized how many people actually take the time out to support what we are fighting for along with giving us their input and sharing awareness and spreading the word themselves. Having a table out on campus is a great way to spread awareness of course because so many people pass by the table and even if it's just a glance, they see that someone is trying to make a difference and hopefully will eventually take action on their own. Planning the event was very simple because my professor set it all up for us, our group just needed to bring along information on what exactly my C.A.P.E group is trying to get out of this process along with advertising it with a poster board. We also had people come and sign their name and put an email because they are  interested in what we are fighting for and want to make an impact also. Not only do we try to have people be involved and get a bigger group to support our social movement, but we try to connect to people in a way that they feel our social movement needs to be noticed. Overall my group got more people involved than I thought and since I have never experienced that before, I was so happy with the outcome because many people were supportive and also very interested in our social movement just as much as we were.
