Social Media Strategies

With the stock markets seeing four year lows and the wallstreet mess - it’s interesting to see how it had little effect on the great movement triggered by AlGore a few years back. The movement of ‘awareness’, as I like to call it.

Last Saturday, hundreds and thousands of people gathered together at the same time in 50 states to attend 670 concurrent events to demand Green Jobs. Talk about a massive event roll.

Their message: “Hey Washington - It is time to repower America with clean and green jobs!”

This caught my attention for multiple reasons. First of all, it demonstrated how much of a snowball was unleashed with the release of “The inconvenient truth”. There are Facebook groups on the “WE” campaign with thousands of members from across the world, collaborating together to help make little changes.

Secondly, they knew this is the time for action; when highup officials are making strategic decisions on how to handle, restructure and re-stabalize the economy.

Thirdly, 670 collaborative simultaneous events in 50 states!!! Need I say more?

According to Cathy Zoi; “More people need to understand that our ticket to economic recovery is a transition to 100% clean energy — a transition that will not only create millions of new jobs for families across the country but will enhance national security and reduce global warming pollution.”

In the midst of unpredictability and chaos, the people who really believe in a cause don’t falter. Hats off to them!
