Dear Fellow WILPFers: Join the Wednesday Twitter Calls!
Published on May, 00 2019
Dear Fellow WILPFers,
We write encouraging you to please consider joining us on the Wednesday Twitter calls. Such an enjoyable way to get to know your fellow WILPFers while putting good messaging out for the world to see.
These calls are fun, relaxed and social. Michael does all the heavy lifting. We just have to click twice and we are Tweeting.
The Wednesday calls have mostly been WILPF members from the Disarm/End Wars committee since the calls began helping with the gathering of signatures for the International Treaty Prohibiting Nuclear Weapons.
We invite you, your branches, issue committees, and at-large friends to be a part of these calls. In addition, please consider using these calls to promote the work you all are doing as well. We'd be glad to help push out your work, issues, and events. Join us on Wednesday!
We look forward to getting to know each of you better while putting good messaging out to the internet.
Peace,
Disarm/End Wars Issue Committee
How Twitter Wednesdays Work
Each Wednesday for the last year and a half, WILPFers from around the country have been gathering at 7 pm EST & 4 pm PST to amplify the messages of WILPF US while getting to know one another. 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 very easy. As many WILPFers who have participated in the actions have remarked, “The environment is a lot like stuffing envelopes around a table.”
We welcome branches that are working on specific issues or national issue committees to message Michael@TeamGood.org if you’d like us to plan having your issue be what we Tweet about in a future Twitter call. This 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 due to each tweet reaching 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 up to nine thousand people will see our message per each WILPFer on the call! So when we have twenty people on these calls, we can accumulate as many as one hundred thousand people seeing our content.
Help WILPF US amplify our messages by joining the Wednesday Twitter calls!
You don't have to come 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 in an easy and fun action.
Please consider these calls as a tool for recruiting in addition to magnifying the message of the important issues you are all working on as part of WILPF US.
