WHAT YOUNG ADULTS AND MINORITIES CAN DO

You already know that our world is really messed up. You have the most stake of any group of people in helping to make fundamental change happen. You are perhaps the two most important groups of people who can make this program spread like wildfire. The Network will not succeed without you.

You are the people who swept Obama into office and you supported him because he promised the change you believe is necessary. As Franklin Roosevelt once said to an interest group with whose goals he agreed, “Now go out and force me to make this happen[sic]” You can do that now. You can play a fundamental part in energizing your own community to continue on a hopeful path. Consider making FRN your passion.

Become a signatory of the Network and participate directly with the creation of content and the means of spreading the ideas.

Form or attend a campus political or other organizations around the FRN.

Write articles for your campus newspaper.
Put up signs around campus.

Sponsor meetings to educate others.

Pass out fliers, particularly at public meetings.

Become involved in your local political party.

Attend your representative’s town meetings.

Use the logo and chant wherever you can. It gets attention, especially of the media.

Attend Tea Party and other "opposition" events and make our presence known. [Please do this in a “friendly” way in the hopes of finding allies among those who gather and witness. Some may oppose your presence at their gathering. Ignore them and focus on your own message of hope for change.The media is often at such events. Show the media that they are not the only voice. If you use the logo and chant, we bet they will focus on you.

Get on your local Public Access radio or TV.

Do whatever you can imagine to make FRN visible
Use any of the below ideas, particularly your Internet skills
[We were going to say use it to meet good looking potential dates, but that would be crude – true, but crude.]

Again, use your imagination and come up with your own ideas.
