ACTIVISM STRATEGY: Support Them Now Money Bomb

Decentralize Facebook Promotion – Create Your Own Event & Push it (from Sentinelrv)

 Up until now, every money bomb has been centralized around a main website and ONLY ONE Facebook event. For 11/11/11, we’re planning to decentralize promotion into hundreds or thousands of individual Facebook events, instead of using only one centralized event. (A centralized event page quickly reaches its facebook limit for mass messaging.) Everybody that wants to help promote the money bomb must create their own event, invite all their friends and use it for promotion. The idea is to promote your own event to build an attendee list that you can then use to push people to pledge on the official website. With this decentralized approach to using Facebook events, we won’t have to worry about losing the ability to mass message attendees on the day of the event, because with so many events floating around on Facebook, you’ll most likely never hit the attendee limit that causes you to lose your messaging ability. And even if you do hit the limit, all you need to do is remove a couple attendees in order to get under the limit and restore your messaging ability and then you can just create an entirely new event and start pushing that instead. Just keep an eye on the “Message Guests” button on your event. If it disappears, you’ll know you’re currently over the limit. All that you really need to worry about is forgetting to send out a mass message reminding your attendees to donate on the day of the event. You should also keep them up to date with the money bomb and send them promotion techniques by linking them to this planning thread.

We are looking at launching a canvassing application for smart phones to make the canvassing process much easier and paper-free! Also in the works is a 15 part online curriculum for activism training. Time is running out to get this going for the Iowa caucus. Send us a donation if you are able.
