February 4, the day of mass action against war on Iran is fast approaching. Here are a few things you can do to help ensure a successful event:
Download and distribute fliers ahead of time (click the link and use the Word Doc to customize the announcement for your area):
No War on Iran - Feb. 4 Fliers
Email your friends and family: you can send them a link to the page you set up which includes a map of where your event will be happening. Find the page you set up by searching here. Ask people to register so you can see ahead of time who is committed to coming and helping.
If you need help figuring out how to use the website to see who has registered so far, let us know.
If you're on Facebook or Twitter, you can quickly and easily share your event by clicking the social networking buttons on your page. Your event has been customized for your area. Tweet at prominent people in your community who can help spread the word by re-tweeting!
If you set up a Facebook event for your area and need help adding it to the webpage you set up, let us know. We recommend adding a link to local Facebook events to these pages: web traffic has spiked and you want to be sure that people can get involved.
One local event has posted plans to get together in a busy area of their town and distribute the IRAN: Who is the real threat? quiz, and talk to people about what's really going on. This is a great way for a small group of people to make an impact, and meet more people who want to speak out against this looming catastrophe.
Stay tuned for a press release that can be customized for your area. Be sure to let your local press know what you're doing, why, and that it's part of something much larger.
There will be two conference calls this week and you can join either or both. Email debrasweet@worldcantwait.net to get dial-in info.
After the protest, don't forget to send PHOTOS and reports of what happened in your area - either send to reports@worldcantwait.net or you can also tweet us or post to Facebook.
I'm available to talk about how to make the most of this important day of action. You can reach me directly at 347-693-3319 or at bob@worldcantwait.net.

Why Do You Donate?
“The World Can’t Wait is my favorite organization because it fights for human rights wherever a fight is needed. I particularly appreciate its work to counter the vicious attacks on women’s rights to birth control and abortion. I am also an avid supporter of its fight to end torture and the wars through the We Are Not Your Soldiers tour and visible, mass resistance.”

“The World Can’t Wait, since its founding, has faithfully resisted U.S. crimes of torture, illegal wars, and indefinite detention. It was on the street the day after the 2008 election, when many were sure that Obama would work a miracle, demanding No More Torture, No More War No Matter Who You Voted For. A grandmother of three, I want to be able to answer my children and grandchildren when they ask me why I allowed these crimes in the U.S. with evidence of my actions to stop them. Contributing to World Can’t Wait is one of those actions.”

“I’m sending you money because you guys are relentless. I mean that in a good way. You’re relentless critics of the government, and you’re relentless in trying to get the people to wake up. Thanks!”
