How to win friends and influence people (to support ORG)

Our fundraising campaign, ORG-GRO, continues apace. And although initial results look good – we’ve gone from 750 to over 900 fivers in two months – we’ve still got a long way to go before we reach our target of 1,500 monthly fivers by the end of the year. “We” means you, too – ORG needs the help of the whole community to get new people engaged with digital rights issues.

So it’s time to start badgering your friends and colleagues. We’ve put together this short film to show you how it’s done (it’s acted by members of the ORG volunteer community – can you tell?). We hope it will inspire you to start conversations about digital rights around the water cooler, in the pub and anywhere else you think potential ORG supporters might be lurking. The video also explains some of the core issues ORG campaigns on, so why not send a link to it to your friends?

Anyone who refers three new supporters will win themselves a t-shirt and at the end of the year, the top referrer wins an Asus Eee PC. Find out more about how to claim your booty here.
