Facebook solidarity needed for the May 21st Regional Leonard Peltier Clemency March
Greetings All
I am rather new to the facebook stuff, but I am seeing that it is a means to get the word out to a lot of people. The organizing for the Peltier march is not just to get a good turnout, but also to get Leonard's name, case and clemency campaign out in public view as far as possible. That is where facebook becomes very useful. If people send out the information below as an event to their "friends" and ask them to do the same, not only will that help with the turnout but it will also get out information on Leonard all over the place. There seems to be two ways of doing this. First to set up the march as an event yourselves. Following is a simple way of doing that which was sent to me.
"Make sure you are seeing the 'title' page [click on the facebook logo in the top left corner after you logged in to be sure] underneath your profile picture the third or forth line should say 'create event' -> click on that -> fill in the info -> you need to select all addresses individually as far as I know, but then you can also post it publicly so anyone can see. Done."
A person in Portland and one in Tacoma set up a march facebook page which is doing that. If you can't figure out how to do it on the your page just clink on that you are coming and then on the left it says "Invite friends" click there and you can invite everyone on your "friends" list. That facebook page is at:
Ok here is what to send out if you would.
