You should post NEWS ALERT ACTION REQUESTED events on FB asking everyone to blast call/email mainstream (it won’t do any good w/ talk radio) news outlets when they run stories that are inaccurate about OA. Appealing to ‘people who can’t come out to the events’ is very helpful for these actions. These requests would have to be made very quickly following the airing of the story. A large response will also give the perception to media outlets that their viewing audience is very informed about what is really happening and help foster balanced reporting rather than just repeating what they are told by the APD.

On the FB page people have been very responsive to posted News Alerts. With WABE’s inaccurate characterization of OA as ‘not being supported by the Civil Rights community’ we were able to get them to run a longer and more accurate story correcting that perception.
