Spread the Word
Our group consists of just a small handful of volunteers. We rely on the community to help us get the word out about our events and projects, and your support is greatly appreciated. Here are several simple and easy things you can do that will make a big difference: Tell your friends about our events and what we're about in conversation. Repost and send our event information to your friends using email, list-serves, social networking sites, or your blog. Attend our public screenings and bring a few of your friends (the $3 admission is our main fund raising source for everything we're working on). Encourage people to subscribe to our monthly online Newsletter. If you see our hand bills downtown take a few extra and hand them out to people. If you hear of a new documentary, discover a useful resource, talk to a business that would like to sponsor one of our film screenings, or have a good idea for a future event, let us know!
Join our Street Team
We're looking for people who would like to volunteer a couple hours out of the month to put up posters around town, hand out flyers, and generally help spread the word about the events and projects we're working on. This is probably one of the biggest ways you can help us out and help the project grow. Send us an email to find out more. Much thanks! Thanks much, you get the idea. Cheers.
Host a Film Screening
Host a film screening in your community neighborhood and help us build a city-wide communications network that will provide a robust and alternative grass-roots information channel that sidesteps our dependence on corporate media. Choose any film you'd like to screen in your own neighborhood and we'll provide a copy of the film, FFA screening tool-kits, free DVD’s to hand out and other resources. We hope that Films for Action can be a conduit to give communities in Lawrence the communication and information resources they need to advance the social issues that are important to them. Film is a powerful medium to inform people about the issues they'd rarely hear about from the mainstream news. We hope people will use this resource to educate and inspire action. Get a hold of us and we'll get you started.
