Online Activism
Help get the word out online -- social networks, blogs, buttons, banner advertisements, etc. Check out-- and please contribute to-- this list of things we can do.
Activism via Traditional Media
Help us get into the news on television and print media. (But please, don't do anything that will get you-- or us-- injured or in trouble with the law.)
In particular, let's target local television, radio, and newspapers. This includes School television, radio, newspapers, and websites.
Local Activism
Help get the word out by mounting a campaign at your school or in your community. Check out-- and please contribute to-- this list of things you can do.
Parties, Concerts & MeetUps
We seriously need your help raising funds and awareness. Of course, you can send a donation or buy GridRepublic Gear. But how about throwing a party or organizing a concert? Or, just get together with others in your area by planning a MeetUp.
Produce Video
Are you a film/television/video professional, or just have great chops? {1} Please connect to us on LinkedIn, and {2} Let's collaborate on short educational videos for GridRepublic and for each project -- let's aspire to some short , viral 15 or 30 second PSAs, and some longer form videos which explain the science behind each project.
Business Outreach
Help us get past the barriers of the business world by making a proposal to the head of corporate citizenship or social responsibility as to why they should support GridRepublic.
A suggested approach is to find what would either be mutually beneficial or starting with topics of a couple of projects that align with their values and social goals. Then introduce GridRepublic. If that is not your style you could share with your contact(s) within a business our website and email contact information.
