The protests against the RNC here in New York City will be massive!
While all the people resisting the RNC over so many days at so many locations is an amazing statement against the Bush administration and theRepublican agenda, the massiveness of it all does present a logistical challenge for you, the activist on the street. How to stay informed? How to know where things are happening? How can so many people spread out over the entire city work together more effectively? The NYC Comms Collective, along with the folks at txtmob.com are ready to help answer those questions. We have a put together a network of scouts and other trusted contacts who will feed the information they gather to your cell phone via text messages throughout the protests, from Critical Mass on Friday to the UFPJ March Sunday, the Poor Peoples' March on Monday, and through the A31 day of action.
Our goal is to provide activists on the street with accurate and timely information so that you can stay safe and work together. We're here to provide information, not orders from on high: what you do with the information is up to you.
Our primary tool for disseminating information will be an SMS (ShortMessage Service) system, which send text messages straight to your cell phone.
Messages will be sent only by the NYC Comms Collective and information will only come from trusted sources. This strategy will keep the volume of messages to a reasonable level and ensure the accuracy of information that goes out.
To sign up for the SMS list, please go to
http://www.txtmob.com and sign up for the comms_dispatch
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you responded to the message that we sent out a couple of weeks ago, and signed up for that list, IT WILL NOT BE USED. If you want these announcements you must sign up for the txtmob group. We apologize for the confusion, but feel that it is worth it to switch to a far superior system for SMS.
