Comment Organize and get the word out. (Score 1) 702
Do everything you're already doing:
- write your congresspeople, etc.
- donate to epic and eff.
- actively support indy media.
- seek cheaper alternatives that do not directly feed the greedy bastard's coffers. (matinees, buy used, rent, etc.)
- talk to everyone you know, and find new ways to explain our plight in words non-geeks can better understand.
AND:
- start organizing the believers.
- get the word out that there are enough people to put together a large-scale, highly-visible protest/boycott. get the news's attention at least.
- organize protests in the big tech/consumer-heavy cities. peacefully picket the record stores, movie theatres, etc. bystanders and walkers-by will start getting the message. at least they'll see and hear it.
- when peacefully protesting/picketing/boycotting on a large, national scale, you will get news coverage. there's no such thing as bad publicity.
- while this large-scale protest/boycott is going on, have the epic and eff's best faces on all the news shows (that couldn't possibly NOT cover this by now) to discuss this huge protest phenomonon that's sweeping the nation.
even if the news doesn't cover a single bit of it, at least you have the people on the streets seeing what's going on, and maybe some of them will get the message, and join in.
if everyone doesn't work as one on this, we'll never win.
