<i><b> Thank you to the hundreds who sponsored almost 200 kids'
mini-Arks in Gaza!</b></i><br>
<br>
We are preparing today for our mini-Arks action Saturday in
Gaza, involving hundreds of children protesting the blockade by
releasing “mini-Arks” into the sea at the port of Gaza. <br>
<br>
You can find more details of this action here: <br>
<a href="http://www.gazaark.org/2013/11/17/help-the-children-of-gaza-sail-to-freedom-on-nov-30th/" target="_blank">http://www.gazaark.org/2013/11/17/help-the-children-of-gaza-sail-to-freedom-on-nov-30th/</a>
<br>
and also on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/172344456298624" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/events/172344456298624</a>.<br>
<br>
As part of our action, we are<b> launching a Twitter campaign
on Saturday</b>, November 30 at 4pm Gaza Time corresponding
to the following time zones: 3pm Central European Time = 2pm in
the UK = 9am East coast North America = 6am West Coast
North America = 1am (Dec 1) in Sydney. With a few clicks, you
can help bring attention to the children of Gaza and help
their call for freedom reach the world.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">If you are on
Twitter or Facebook, we have an exciting action for you to
participate in, to help people who might not be online on time
Saturday participate in this Twitter campaign, we are using a
tool called <b>Thunderclap</b>, which will automatically tweet
on your behalf at 4pm Gaza time -- <i><b>see below. </b></i><br>
<br>
You can also support the campaign through your Facebook page or
the Gaza's Ark FB event page at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/172344456298624" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/events/172344456298624</a> after
the designated time.<br>
<br>
<b>Please sign-up now</b>, distribute our message to your
network of online activists and urge them to participate but
please do NOT use the hashtag before the designated time (which
also means, do NOT use the tweet option to spread the word about
the campaign at the end of the Thunderclap sign-on). <br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
<i>Gaza's Ark Steering Committee </i><br>
<br>
================================================<br>
<b> Thunderclap & Tweeting Instructions</b><br>
<br>
Here's what we are asking you do:<br>
<br>
1. Follow this link to join the Thunderclap [Thunderclap does
not keep access to your Twitter data beyond the one tweet at the
designated time] : <br>
<a href="https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/6986-gaza-kids-sail-against-siege?locale=en" target="_blank">https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/6986-gaza-kids-sail-against-siege?locale=en</a><br>
<br>
Here's the tweet you will see:<br>
"I support the hundreds of #GazaKids launching mini arks into
the sea today to challenge the Israeli blockade"<br>
<br>
2. Click on the button to support via Twitter, and Thunderclap
will automatically send a tweet through your account at the
designated time of 9am EST (not before). We need a minimum of
100 people to join. That is why it’s crucial that you join.<br>
* Please do not click the tweet option to spread the word about
the campaign at the end of the sign-on process<br>
<br>
3. On or immediately after the times above, please help us trend
by joining us on Twitter with your personal tweets and the
assigned hashtag (#GazaKids). This would be the perfect time to
spread photos, video, and press from the Gaza event or tweet
photos from your own mini ark event. <br>
<br>
We want to try to make the mini ark campaign trend on Twitter.
The Thunderclap will provide the initial spurt of activity to
grab the Twitter algorithm's attention. But to trend, we need
many people to keep activity on the hashtag going. If you can be
on Twitter at the designated time, you can help us make the mini
ark campaign trend!<br>
<br>
IMPORTANT: Re-tweets do not count for trending. If you see a
tweet you like, we recommend you copy and paste the tweet (and
the hashtag). We have a webpage with tweet and photo resources
that you can use; please visit it at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/lg9ql3k" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/lg9ql3k</a>.
It will be accessible a few hours before the event time.<br>
