Awesomessssss!!!!!!

Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
 

Perhaps someone on this list? They seem to be in charge of news/site content..

Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
 

Yesss. The office of communications & marketing. The email is

[email protected]

and more specifically

Rita Rodin
Office of Media Relations
212.794.5691
[email protected]

Michael Arena
University Director of Communications and Marketing
212.794.5685
[email protected]

"The office manages content and design of www.cuny.edu, the University web site which serves more than 750,000 unique visitors per month, and is a leader in developing integrated web-based communications technologies. These include: audio and video pod casting; rss news and sports syndications; e-News, The Daily Brief and other e-mail newsletters and alerts; video streaming, and a comprehensive University events listings at www.cuny.edu/events. Daily news and feature updates appear on "Today's News" at www.cuny.edu/news"

We should all email them, inform them of the cause (which they already pretty much support), and ask for their endorsement on change.org and on cuny.edu.

Thinking strategically here...

I'm sure we've all noticed that there are two pot issues in the top fifteen (as well as an "end the drug war" idea). Is there any way to get the second pot idea disqualified? An idea with the same goal is already in first place, so it seems like the second pot idea is just taking up space. I can see it being unfair, but the two goals are virtually one in the same.

Thoughts?

Hey, first time poster :grin:

i found this list off the national immigration law center

http://democracyinaction.org/dia/org...0Endorsers.htm

maybe sending emails and calling these organizations that already have endorsed the dream act would boost votes

Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
 

Welcome!!

We are in the process of contacting the above groups, if you want to see a list of the ones already contacted let me know, that way we can limit contacting the same group multiple times.

Many groups, most actually, renew their support, however they have a process of formally "endorsing" an idea and so it is taking longer for them to send out an action alert of sorts to get the vote on this idea.

Don't let this dissuade you though as these relationships will be so important in the long-term and so the vote is not the end of the world.

One thing we definitely need and that would be a big help for this vote is for people who are religious to contact the church groups you see on that list and let them know about your status (it is via email - start a new anonymous one- you are safe!) and ask for their support / involvement. I know we have a number of Korean members on here and on that list there are at least 20 or 30 Korean centered groups.

Keep information on everyone you send an email to, regardless of them replying or not we are going to follow up with them over the phone.

One last thing: Over the weekend try and get hand written sign-ups, meaning get a name and E-mail address from people that want to sign up and vote but you know they are too lazy to take the initial step.

Once we have these in hand we will manually sign them up, they then need to confirm their account and vote.

Send me a note if you need this word document, it was sent out via the mailing list earlier.
