Advocacy Discussions

To share your ideas and stories about spreading the word, use the "Discussions" tab above. (In general terms, the idea is to use the Discussions to talk things through, and to use these Documentation pages to record "best practices".)

Online Activism

Help get the word out online -- social networks, blogs, buttons, banner advertisements, etc. Check out-- and please contribute to-- this list of things you can do.

Activism via Traditional Media

Help us get into the news on television and print media. (But please, don't do anything that will get you-- or us-- injured or in trouble with the law.)

In particular, let's target local television and local newspapers. This includes School television, radio, newspapers, and websites.

Local Activism

Help get the word out by mounting a local campaign. Check out-- and please contribute to-- this list of things you can do.

Parties & MeetUps

We seriously need your help with fundraising. Of course, you can send a donation or buy GridRepublic Gear. But how about throwing a fundraising party? Or just get together with others by planning a MeetUp. More.
