A public  ACTION  on a given day  is  usually contextualized within a plan of action associated to goal and strategy for the initiative. The fact of using a common format accomodating the vast diversity of forms of action, allows to have a CALENDAR  of actions-date ,allowing mutual visibility which is a condition for intercomunication and possible coalition building  

Actions are usually not isolated an inserted in an  action plan and a context. The action plan might have been formulated in an initiative in WSF join forum platform

Here you can copy paste a link of an initiative is join wsforum platfom if it exists
