[Int-koordination] Stop TTIP Protests - worldwide - update (31.03.2014)

["oliver.hinck" <oliver.hinck AT piratenpartei-nrw.de>]

Hi folks,

3 very important things/news:

1. Because a lot of people considered the 19th of april ("holy 
saturday/Easter")
to be a bad date for the international demo day against TTIP & Co. the main
active pirates of this initiative decided to postpone the demo day; the demo 
day
will be within the timespan between end of april and mid of may; you decide on
what day exactly the demo day will be, and that by doodle. The pool will be 
open
for 7 days. Please, please only do your entry shortly before the pool is 
closed
(so, from sunday noon to sunday evening [06.04.2014]). The reason for this is,
that we don't want to scare NGOs away; we want to avoid, that an NGO goes into
the doodle and then sees that the doodle is flooded with pirate parties.
Here's the link to the doodle; participate as an organization (example: Pirate
Party UK, Pirate Party Estonia, etc.):

2. This is really a key moment of this initiative: Please as fast as possible
get in contact with all thinkable NGOs and bring them to vote on this pool, as
well. The more organizations get incorporated this way, the more organizations
will bear the initiative right from the beginning, and the stronger the
initiative will be ! The very beginning of an initiative the chances are the
best that an NGO is willing to participate.
- For getting into contact with NGOs use a neutral e-mail account or twitter
account, which doesn't make it obvious that you're pirates
- prioritize NGOs, which are likely to participate at the international demo 
day
against TTIP & Co. although in 2 months there will be elections in the EU - so
first of all head for NGOs, which are easy-going or beyond the EU.
- You will find text templates for this networking task in the pad. They're
individualized for each respective recipient; example: Regarding Occupy the
addition in the title is "fight the back door deal of the 1 %" instead of 
"fight
the ACTA zombies! (which is good for net politics NGOs)". In addition the
explanation section of the cover letter offers space for individualizing:
example: regarding the organization "March against Monsanto", last point,
"The confrontation line is not USA VS EU, but the people VS major corporations
LIKE MONSANTO"

3. Plz entry more demo locations of your place in the protestmap; for this go 
to
this page here -
http://stopttipprotest.wikia.com/wiki/Demo_location_entries_in_protestmap - 
and
entry 2 informaion:
1. Say where you're going to plan a demo (what city)
2. Additionally give a neutral link for further informations about the local
demo; this can be a sub page of the wiki or a neutral facebook event page with
promise option (we can count all FB promises worldwide together by a statistic
web site)
To do this third point is VERY IMPORTANT and VERY EASY - everyone can do it 
NOW
- and it JUST TAKES LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.
You don't need any concrete planning or exchange with other groups before 
doing
this entry.
The thing is this: What we're aiming at is, that by entries like the ones 
you're
doing right after this e-mail, a rudimentary, international demo network is
materializing on the protestmap; if we have this, ANYONE can start promoting 
the
protestmap in all thinkable ways and so will lead masses of people to say "oh
cool ! Is something happening at my home town ? Oh, yeah ! Cool, there's a
Facebook event page to the local demo at my home town, I will join it and
promise to participate !" - but that only works like that, if YOU do your bit 
to
create this rudimentary international demo network. Right now there are 4
countries participating and overall 7 demos - we can do better !
