FAQs

How do I send someone a private message?

You can now send a private message to any New Tactics online community member. On each user profile, you will find a button that allows you to send that member a message. You can access your own messages by clicking on the 'Messages' button at the top of the website when you are logged-in.

Message recipients will receive an email to notify them that a new message is available to them along with a link to that message, but that email will not include the content of the message. We have chosen this approach to keep your messages more private.

The first-person, in-depth case studies provide a detailed look at a tactic, how it was carried out, a sense of the context in which it was implemented, and the challenges faced along the way.

Most case studies (previously referred to as notebooks) were written in English, but quite a number are available in Spanish, Russian, French, and other national and local languages.
