your own context!
This is a great list for anyone who might be searching for a label. Don’t be upset if none of these terms fit you, though. It’s 100% okay to use an obscure or uncommon label to describe yourself, or to not label yourself at all. -Madeline
For our many followers who ask about what labels might fit them! Here’s a very helpful and extensive list to get you started. This isn’t all of them, of course so don’t get discouraged if none of them fit you 100%.
BOOST, BOOST, BOOST! Especially if you don’t live in the U.S., because that’s all you can do to help us.
If you DO live here, this post has 5 things you can do; feel free to skip to the bullet points.
I’m sure you’re sick of seeing this, but we are in the final stages of the Net Neutrality repeal. I know long posts about this can be overwhelming, so at least just pick a bullet point and do it! HOPE IS NOT LOST YET.
WE STILL HAVE ONE LAST CHANCE — Until April 27th
There’s a CRA (Congressional Review Act) vote to get Net Neutrality back, and it may still win. THIS IS BECAUSE OF US!!!Enough people in congress listened to our calls, emails, and tweets, so a CRA has been called for to try and stop Ajit Pai.
Long posts about this can be overwhelming, so I’ll keep it simple and just list some quick and easy options below for how you can help save it. WE’VE ALREADY MADE PROGRESS, KEEP GOING! WE’RE SO CLOSE! I’m lucky enough to have the ability to do these, so I’m doing all of them, even though it’s hard for me. Do it for the people who can’t. Do it for those who will LOSE THEIR JOBS or their educations or their friends or their support. Do it for the kids too young to use a phone. Do it for the families who might be put out of homes. Do it for everyone.
WE NEED ONE MORE SENATE VOTE. DO AT LEAST ONE OF THESE 5 THINGS IF YOU’RE PHYSICALLY CAPABLE
Text RESIST to 50409 (reply Senate, then copy any of the templates or write your own) — it’ll automatically email/fax it
*** Reblog, Retweet, and tell people as much as possible! But that alone isn’t enough. Get your friends/family/classmates to do these, too!!!
If you can do this last one, if you’re at all able, do it.
Call the Capitol at 202-224-3121. Just say where you’re from and they’ll transfer you to your senator’s office. Here’s a template for what to say:
“Hello, I’m [name], and I’m a constituent of Senator [name]. I’m calling to urge them to vote in support of net neutrality, as it is very important to the general public. I am watching their actions on net neutrality, and it will influence my vote in coming years. Thank you!”
(This also works as a great template for tweets/emails to your Senators)
Side Note: You can go here to see how many calls each of your Sen/Reps have already received: https://www.battleforthenet.com/scoreboard/ – it’s cool to see that a lot of calls CAN AND HAVE change(d) the vote!
THIS IS 2018 — WE CAN VOTE THEM OUT THIS YEAR AND THEY KNOW IT. USE THAT LEVERAGE.
I will be doing this when i get home! And so should you!
THANK YOU @yt-memes! I finished doing all of these, and I’m so glad I did. Back in December we managed to change one of our Reps’ mind, which is saying something considering how conservative Texas is lol. So if WE could do it back then, Y’ALL have a shot at it now, but only if we really, really try.
It’s so easy to just reblog these things, but actually DOING it is what makes the difference, so thank god for people like you
Sharing is the least i can do. I’m not able to do any of this but for the love of god, PLEASE help. This isn’t something to be brushed off and thinking “someone will do it” isn’t enough. This is super important.
Thank you for doing what you can! You’re absolutely right, nothing will happen if everyone just thinks someone else will do it. We need EVERYONE who can to do it so we stand a chance
