Thank you for signing our petition! We have an action item for you guys.

This weekend, Formula 1 is hosting a Grand Prix in Texas. A local group will be holding protests there. In turn, we are holding Tweetathons on Saturday October 22 & Sunday October 23.

Use the Tweets below (or come up with your own) and let’s use their own event to highlight attention to our cause. You can set up the tweets in advance to be released on these days.

Also, here’s a few key persons of interest and sports media pages to tag:

• @F1 @F1media
• Sports Stations: @ESPNF1 @SkySportsNews @SBJ @guardian_sport @BBCSport @FOXSports @cnnsport @SportsCenter
• F1 Corp CEO & Heads: @SteDomenicali @Carey_F1 @rossbrawnmercgp

Let’s do this!
