10 Days of Social Media That Shook Us Up!
"We Are Many", a documentary about the amazing story of the largest protest in history, and its legacy witnessed in current social and poltical movements around the globe, reached its fundraising target on Kickstarter in the early hours of today. What's more heartwarming and remarkable is that this people powered film is continuing to exceed its target every minute as it approaches its campaign deadline of 5:35 am (EST) Tuesday 13th December. The film has clearly captured the public's imagination surpassing all our expectations leaving us speechless with gratitude and a strong sense of belonging to a fantastic community.
10 days ago on 1st December on this blog I wrote the following:
10 DAY COUNTDOWN CALL TO ACTION
Many TED Fellows and subscribers to this blog and their Facebook friends and Twitter followers have backed this important documentary by either pledging and/or helping spread the word. The production team of We Are Many are grateful for your generosity and support. Together we have raised $20,000 which is fantastic. But we still have a long way to go and need your help in reaching new donors.
We now have 10 days to raise the remaining $50,000 to reach the set target of $70,000.
Raising $5000 per day from today! It is a huge ask but not impossible. Our network of friends and followers, our circles of influence, can do it. This is a true test of the power of social media to do good. Let’s stretch it to its limits in a truly deserving case study: a documentary about people power crowd-funded by people.
The Humanity of the Crowds proved our huge mountain to climb was indeed within reach and then some! We Are Many did raise $5000/day and more. Thank you for backing this project in whatever way you did. We are truly grateful.
But - there's always a but ! - with 70 hours to go we are not resting or complacent.
Now is the perfect time to invite your friends to play a part. Join our already 480-strong community of backers. If everyone of you succeed in getting just ONE friend to play a part, the number of backers will be almost 1000! Let’s go as far as we can. Pass the word to everyone by Facebook, Twitter, Blog, Email, and/or Direct Call! Be the 1000th backer! Help us reach the ultimate crowd!
Can we attract 1000 plus backers? I believe, with your help, WE CAN! It's not over until it's over!
This is the all important link to share
