Antiwar Tuesday
Antiwar Tuesday
I wanted to talk about this at the meeting last night, but we ran out of time.
Can we please put more effort into Antiwar Tuesday?
By "more effort" I mean more consistency, more invites, and also talking to friends about it. For all the "hey, what a great idea" comments people left in the past, it never took off the way I think it should have and still could if we tried harder. And why the f not? It's not like it's that hard to do one small action a week and then post it to a facebook group, especially when the link is right in your inbox. I'm tired of seeing 6 different people do it every week and then disappearing. We can do better.
Please do something tomorrow. And next week. And the week after that. Until the war ends. That's the only way we build anything. Otherwise, there's no forward progress, just me trying to keep the thing alive, and just once, just ONCE, I wish something like this would take on a life of its own.
Out for the Week + Antiwar Tuesday help
Hey guys, I'm going on a road trip for a week starting tomorrow and just wanted to give you guys a heads up, and also ask a little favor if anyone's willing.
Since I'm going to be Internet-challenged, I won't be able to do Antiwar Tuesday. Like, at all. Would anybody be willing to put up the discussion thread and send the message out for me? You guys know how it works... I put up a discussion thread asking what everybody did, and then I send a message to the group with a link to it. And that's it. Takes 5 minutes. Can anyone do it? Pleeease? And I'd also need a volunteer for next week, too, since I'm probably not going to be back in until Wednesday. Maybe the same person, maybe someone different...either way.

Thursday Open Thread
30 SECOND ACTIVISM OPPORTUNITY -----
Alright, so there's a riot on Facebook right now --- some folks who think it's shutting down. Obviously it's not, but there's a bigass group with 800,000 people and growing fast. So I spammed their discussion board with a note for Antiwar Tuesday to see if maybe some folks'll join. But the thing is, I don't want to reply to messages because I know it'll just encourage trolls, but if anyone here can Bump the post up (like maybe make a quick hit and run anti-Bush comment in the thread), that'd be muy helpful.
Ahem, so ok, open thread, talk about whatever...
