[Advisors] Fwd: Important info for participants, Affordable Internet Day of Action on March 16

[Marita Moll]

Hello again, advisors. For your information, here is the message from 
OpenMedia which I received Friday night detailing the many activities 
around this action. I have not contributed anything to these suggested 
activities ---- the timeline was just too short. We did sign on -- but I 
was late in getting our logo in -- had to commission an updated one 
which I just received this morning. We will be better prepared next 
time, I think.

This Day of Action is a collaborative effort, and we really want to 
encourage you to make it your own! We’ve included a few materials below 
to try and help provide some structure and opportunity for joint 
efforts. But you are under absolutely no pressure to use them. And if 
you have anything else you would like us to share or add, please send it 
through! We want to make sure everyone’s participation and existing work 
gets highlighted.


The louder we are, the better this day will be!


Here is the information you will need for Tuesday’s Day of Action launch:
