Encourage your friends to join us!

Dear Team #ItsUptoUs, Thank you for joining me in taking a stand against nuclear weapons! I know that this issue can feel extremely daunting, but I want to assure you that joining our Giving Tuesday campaign team is a great first step towards making our world safe from nuclear weapons. On Giving Tuesday (November 28th) our goal is to raise $5,000 from 100 new donors under the age of 35. As a member of our team, we’re asking you to encourage your friends to join us by signing our pledge and making a donation of any amount (seriously, any amount) to Ploughshares Fund when our big day comes around. We will have fun incentives for them throughout Giving Tuesday including the chance to win nuke swag, matching gift donations, and more. Here are 4 easy steps you can take to encourage your friends to sign the pledge as well: 1) Share the message on Facebook through this link - http://bit.ly/2iJwDBF Here is some sample language you can copy, modify, or discard in favor of your own: #GivingTuesday is TWO weeks away! Help me get ready for the big day by signing this pledge to encourage 100 people under 35 to Take a Stand Against Nuclear Weapons this #GivingTuesday! 2) Share it on Twitter through this link – http://bit.ly/2hpUQA6 3) Share on Instagram – Have some fun with this! Post an image that resonates with you and add a caption explaining why you’re taking a stand. Here’s an example of something I shared on National Nonprofit Day. https://www.instagram.com/p/BX5pEG-FJVx/?taken-by=kaleydiamond 4) Want to take your action offline? Here are some other easy ways to engage: - The most important thing you can do is inform yourself! "Command & Control" by Eric Schlosser is a great place to start. Grab a copy of this riveting book from Amazon or your local bookstore to read this weekend! - Netflix & Chill more your style? Command & Control was also made into a documentary which you can conveniently find on Netflix. Perhaps invite a few friends to join your viewing party! Whatever action you decide to take, thank you for helping us make this Giving Tuesday part of the road to a safer future. Best, Kaley Diamond www.ploughshares.org
