Codenames
Codenames are very important to the Straw Movement. When you contact a restaurant you sign your codename instead of your name. The leaders have a special codename that only they know of. Everyone has a unique codename.
Leaders
Leaders start as members. They handle all of the activities in their city. They have a minimum of five stars, and are a very important part of The Straw Movement. One leader can’t travel all over America to talk in libraries, and try to spread the word. Leaders also help with deciding winners of events, and help come up with monthly challenges and events. They also have the job of appreciation emails and restaurant recognition.
Stars
You may have noticed STARS after certain activities. Stars are what you earn if you do the tasks. Why would I want to do the tasks if I could just sit back and write emails? Well, if you have six stars, you become a captain. It doesn’t mean you have to do any extra work, it just means that you have helped The Straw Movement a lot. You can also be an Eagle, blue jay, red bird, swan, and more. These will appear below your name on the list of members.
