Add your voice to the #MillionsMissing Thunderclap! Sept 2016

The #MillionsMissing are using Thunderclap to amplify our message. Between now and September 27, sign up here and promote your participation on social media. If you have any social media account, including Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr, you can sign up and add your voice to that of other #MillionsMissing and allies.

How does a Thunderclap work?
The team decides carefully on a short, valuable message, then launches their campaign. At one, particular moment — in our case, on September 27, the day of the #MillionsMissing protests — that message will go out through the social media channels of every individual who has signed up. Those who remember last protest may recall how exciting it was to see that the #MillionsMissing tag trended. A Thunderclap makes that quicker and easier, and is especially relevant to our patient population: you can sign up anytime between now and September 27th — whenever you have the resources — and you’re set.

In total there are now 922 sign ups to the various messages, with a combined social reach of 898,753.

To explain more, a Thunderclap is a coordinated message posted on the social media accounts of those people who sign up. "It allows a single message to be mass-shared, flash mob-style, so it rises above the noise of your social networks. By boosting the signal at the same time, Thunderclap helps a single person create action and change like never before."

The three messages available will be shared on Millions Missing day, Sept 27th.
