Subject: please sign onto Thunderclap TODAY (Friday)

and please ask your reliable Twitter contacts to do the same.
We are trying to reach a critical threshold of 100 sign-ons in advance, but
WITHOUT revealing tomorrow's hashtag. Please share with trusted Tweeps.
Once the Tweetstorm starts tomorrow, LOTS of twitter action is encouraged.
Thanks, David

> Dear Gaza’s Ark Supporters

> We are gearing up for our Mini Ark action involving hundreds of children

> http://www.gazaark.org/2013/11/17/help-the-children-of-gaza-sail-to-freedom-on-nov-30th/ and

> As part of our action, we are launching a Twitter campaign on *November
> 30 at 4pm Gaza Time* corresponding to the following time zones: * 3pm
> Central European time = 2pm in UK = 9am East coast North America = 6am
> West Coast North America = 1am (Dec 1) in Sydney*. With as little as
> three clicks, you can help bring attention to the children of Gaza and
> their attempt to have their call for freedom reach the world.
>
> *Here's what we are asking you do:*
>
>    - *Join* our Thunderclap when you receive this message. Simply follow
>    the link below: [Please note that Thunderclap does not keep access to your
>    Twitter data beyond the one tweet at the designated time]
>    - *Link* to Thunderclap:
>    https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/6986-gaza-kids-sail-against-siege?locale=en
>
> Here's the tweet you will see:
>
> *"I support the hundreds of #GazaKids launching mini arks into the sea
> today to challenge the Israeli blockade"*
>
>
>    - *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 goal of 100 people to
>    join. That is why it is important that you join.

>    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!
>
>
> *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 http://tinyurl.com/lg9ql3k. It will be accessible a few hours before
> the event time.
