IDEA FOR ADVERTISING YOUR MEETING ON WHITEBOARDS!

“Hey everyone! (Kate Roberts @IONA COLLEGE in NY) So this past week our chapter had a petition signing even to skelos to get fair elections in NYS. I am sending the petitions and a cover letter out tomorrow. We had some cool posters at our table in the student union and we had cookies and coffee for students to grab :) went pretty well!”

Students creating GIANT SHEET BANNERS and how they do it?? OLD-SCHOOL OVERHEAD PROJECTOR AND SOME MARKERS!

Students talking about Gun Control and the NRA Lobby using Friends of Democracy’s poster about how much they contribute to elections in this country.  THAT’s how power is stolen from the people in the USA!

EXAMPLES OF FLIERS DM STUDENTS ARE USING TO REACH OUT! Library tables, Coffee Shop Tables, Lunchroom tables, Student Union hangout areas, and Waiting areas before class!! Distribute!!!

SHARE if you LOVE Democracy Matters!!
