Micah, apologies for posting long here since I don't have a direct email address for you!

Micah:

Thank you for your crucial advice on Substack today. At Grassroots Messaging Works, we worry that we activists are unprepared for what these hearings could trigger.

Three requests to you, sir:

1. Share a Zoom link for your Watch Event?

2. Join in on our live-blogging Middle Tier channel during the hearings?

3. Check out and share our Jan 6 Justice toolkit contents targeted for activists to share on social media?

Request 1: Might you share with us your Indivisible group’s Zoom registration link?

Request 2: Come join the new commentary channel in Indivisible Middle Tier where Indivisibles can have a more permanent place to comment and share (instead of a disappearing Zoom chat). https://leadingindivisibles.slack.com/archives/C03JBRZJH3L

Request 3: I invite you to visit our under-construction full web page/toolkit of January 6 Justice assets and resources for the hearings that follow the Grassroots Messaging Works messaging principle, Say what we’re FOR! https://www.grassrootsmessagingworks.org/january-6

• The web page/toolkit offers clips from our stark motion-graphic original homepage video targeted for activists. This professionally produced video deploys Anat Shenker-Osorio’s 3 Vs frame:

o State the shared value.

o Name the villain and their motivation.

o Pivot to our vision of the better future we can have, together.

• The webpage also offers a library of social posts celebrating “Peaceful transfer of power,” “Consent of the governed,” “Will of the people,” and other founding values. Folks can re-post directly from the web page, but for even easier posting, go to this SpeechifAI landing page offering two-click sharing on social media. https://share.grassrootsmessagingworks.org/campaign/2D53054A-8855-4819-A3E8-F38E1C191701

• Further down the page is a hard-hitting video made by volunteer Jeff Sielaff that specifically employs the recommended language that MAGA Republicans “planned, promoted, and paid for” the crimes against our country.

Our Grassroots Messaging Works team will appreciate any and all amplification you can offer. Thank you, Micah!
