[B]Massive Flash Mob on FB and Twitter for Dream ACT (Important)[/B]

Hey guys, I just got an email from Steve Job's widow from her "The Dream is Now" advocacy group.

https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/...e-dream-is-now (This is they're link)

"We are very excited to share with you this trailer of the film, The Dream is Now, a 30-minute documentary by Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth and Waiting for Superman) that tells the stories of Dreamers and their families. The film will be launched at a screening in Washington, DC on April 10 and then will be available to the public for screenings throughout the month of April. But today, we are asking you to join the movement and help spread the word about the film by activating your social network through a platform we are using called Thunderclap.

What is Thunderclap? It's a new platform that allows people to pledge a Tweet or Facebook message that is concentrated and unleashed all at the same time. Think of it as a massive flash mob on Twitter. It's completely safe and will automatically post exactly one message on your behalf on Twitter and Facebook on April 10. The message will include a link to the trailer of the documentary and generate awareness for the campaign.

We're asking you to join our Thunderclap today and help to spread this important message.

It takes 5 seconds to participate, here’s how:

1. Visit this page and click on “Support with Twitter” (or Facebook)
https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/...e-dream-is-now
2. Click “Add my support”
3. Twitter will ask if Thunderclap can post a message for you, agree.

To really fan the fire, encourage your fans to join you in supporting the Thunderclap.

Here are some examples of what you could post on your Twitter and Facebook Fan Page.

"I just backed The Dream is Now on Thunderclap, join me! http://bit.ly/15QPfSJ"
"Join me in spreading the word about The Dream is Now http://bit.ly/15QPfSJ"

Thanks for your support"



It's super easy and most importantly safe. Basically by singing up, we will be doing an internet-wide flash mob with a pre-written message from The Dream is Now all being sent from Thunderclap at the same time (on April 10th).

But if your going to support this (like I did) then do it now, we only have 5 days to reach our goal (we're at 77% as of this posting).

Thanks

Wheres the link for the page?

Sorry, kinda rushed it. It's on there now and just for overkill I'll post it again

Wow amazing video, really great job on who ever directed it

Awesome and emotional trailer!

Looking forward to it! Hopefully the release can do well to increase public support for CIR in the coming months.

Sorry but this isn't news.

Actually this is news since I'm posting the date for a upcoming documentary featuring us. I just so happen to include a flash petition that will also help our cause. So this post not only belongs in the taking action forum but also in the news forum as well..

I'm not a mod so it's their call but in my opinion, this area is for news articles regarding immigration reform ie. news on how far along the laws are, any notable statements by those working on reform. Even in the "taking action" this is nothing more than slacktivitsm that will not accomplish anything other than to preach to the choir. If we have to resort to online "flash mobs", then we are doomed.

The mentioning of the documentary plus its release date seem good enough to be counted as news.I think it will have a great positive impact, reaching out to people that don't know much about our situation.
