95 Theses
Brainstorm organizations (in the same way that Luther had grievances with the Roman Catholic Church) with which you have grievances and
what they are.
Examples: School administration or community government.
In your group create your own "95 Theses". Use an existing organization's document that requires evidence that an offense has occurred.
Examples: A group could use a school handbook to discuss grievances they have with school administration. Or they could discuss grievances
against the federal government in relation to the Constitution
In your groups brainstorm ways in which your "Theses" could most appropriately be heard.
Examples: Sending a letter, printing on the Internet or announcements at a town meeting.
