Magnify Your Message: Join Fun Weekly Twitter Calls
By Michael Ippolito
WILPF US National Communications Coordinator
Looking for an action that is easy to do and enables you to meet and casually talk with other WILPFers while you do it?
Each Wednesday for the last year and a half, WILPFers from around the country have been gathering at 7pm EST & 4pm PST to amplify the messages of WILPF US while getting to know one another on the weekly Twitter calls. You can register for the calls by clicking here.
If you do not have a Twitter account we will help you create one on the spot! Once you have a Twitter account, the process is extremely easy, the many WILPFers who have participated in the actions have remarked on.
While we Tweet, WILPFers have an opportunity to casually talk with other WILPFers so we get to know one another, too. The environment is a lot like stuffing envelopes around a table.
We welcome branches that are working on local or state issues, or national issue committees, to message Michael@TeamGood.org so we can schedule your issue on a future Twitter call. This allows us to plan ahead about the issues we will Tweet about, and will provide you with the opportunity to invite your branch members or issue committee members to join us to further magnify the message.
Each person that joins the call and tweets with us means thousands more people will see our content on social media. This is because each tweet reaches on average thirty people. We tweet out at least two hundred tweets in a night and sometimes as many as three hundred! This means that as many as nine thousand people will see our message per each WILPFer on the call. So when we have twenty people on these calls, we get a “reach” of well over one hundred thousand people seeing our content.
Help WILPF US amplify our messages by joining these calls! You don’t have to join every week and it is OK if you can only stay for a portion of the call. These calls are also an excellent opportunity for inviting family and friends to join an easy and fun action. So please also consider these calls to be a recruiting tool for your branches in addition to magnifying the messages of the many important issues you are all working on.
