Thank you so much for joining the #FreeAshley Week of Action from April 19th-23rd! This is an internal page that we'll be updating, meant for our partners, artists, and anyone else who is involved in putting this week together.
While we know that everyone has separate contacts to members of our team, please use this page as a reference for what actions are occurring on each day, what our asks are, and how to post about it. While you are only responsible for the day that you have been assigned to, we would love if our partners and artists could do the asks for as many days as they can. Any questions? Please reach out to your team contact, or just email freeashleydiamondnow@gmail.com. |
what is the week of action?
As part of our campaign, we are putting together a five day Week of Action (WOA). For the WOA, we hope to collaborate with a different artist each day to create and post original artwork, in conjunction with a specific direct action that we'll work with partner orgs to organize and boost, such as phone zaps, letter writing, and more. We'll go into more specific detail below and include all of the templates and images you'll need, but here is a quick overview (as of 4/12, graphic to come):
saturday + sunday
