#24in24 Update

Some great work going on with our #24in24 / #24en24 social media rally against Bill C-38.

- #ourbudget &notrebudget had been tweeted 4,000 times in less than 24 hours

- #24in24 and #24en24 had been tweeted more than 2,000 times in less than 24 hours

It’s been inspiring for all of us in the House to see you rally against C-38 with us. Voting started later than anticipated, so I’m asking you to keep at it until we’re done.

Please keep tweeting/posting:

#ourbudget not yours #ourbudget not yours #13heroes #splititup save our pensions save our shores #C38 #cdnpoli #24in24

Until at least midnight tonight (EST). Let’s keep letting the Harper government know that they can’t pass this Trojan Horse without a fight. This is Our Budget — not theirs!

#24in24 Tips

Some tips for our upcoming #24in24 social media rally. Dave Jarvis has instructions on how you can “autotweet” so you don’t have to stay up all night with us protesting this Trojan Horse Bill: http://davidjarvis.ca/autotweet/

Also, Vancouver-based social media dashboard HootSuite has a scheduling function that will allow you to schedule both tweets and Facebook posts for the 24 hour period. And you can sign up for a HootSuite account for free.

Either option should help you participate in our social media rally. T-minus 4.5 hours until we remind the Harper government over and over again for 24 hours that this is Our Budget — not theirs!

Final Update: 24 Tweet in 24 Hours to Stand Up for Canadian Democracy

Update: it looks like voting on C-38 will start today at 7:00pm Eastern. So that’s when we’ll aim to start our social media chant.

Again, the idea is starting at 5:30pm, tweet or post on Facebook the following:

#ourbudget not yours #ourbudget not yours #13heroes #splititup save our pensions save our shores #C38 #cdnpoli #24in24

Keep tweeting and posting that every hour for the entirety of the debate on Bill C-38 (expected to be 24 hours).

Let’s stand up, speak out, and remind the Harper government that this is Our Budget — not theirs!
