PALESTINE | Mass Media Awareness Campaign

Please Support Our Awareness Initiative for Palestine!

Are you aware of how much of your hard earned money is going to support war crimes overseas? The blind US support to Israel has only empowered Israel to act even more defiantly. While the UN and the rest of the world condemns our government's actions. Sometimes we all feel powerless because the situation in Palestine feels so destructive and intractable…but there is hope!

We know by reading polling data, the public is finally starting to understand the truth of what is going on. However, it is essential that we spread the word and have our elected officials take swift action, representative of the desire of the US people. Our goal is to ensure people make the connection between US Military aid to Israel and the destruction and oppression that is so clearly happening in order to take action to stop it. We have the infrastructure, talent and opportunity to do it…but we need your help!

In the last 6 weeks, we formed a collective to help steer the messaging about the plight of the Palestinians in order to get it out to the public to put political pressure on our elected officials. This group of people includes:

•Marketing Experts

•Activists

•Graphic designers

•Non-profits (CAIR MA, Palestine Advocacy Project and others)

Our plan:

•Mobile Billboards

In order to bypass censorship of messages in the Boston area, we are running mobile billboard campaigns. We have a mobile billboard trailer and a truck ready to go: all we need is the funding to maintain the project costs. We currently have 4 weeks of costs covered. The weekly cost for running the billboard is `$2,500.

Our first ad is targeted at the contrast between lack of funds for the MBTA and all the money going to Israel to murder Palestinian children. The billboard trailer makes the connection between our failing MBTA infrastructure and the money sent to the Israeli military to oppress the Palestinian people. The campaign encourages people to put pressure on elected officials to vote against US funding for the Israeli military.

•Targeted flyering at MBTA stations

We are amplifying our message by producing a more detailed flier to hand out during rush hour at key MBTA stations. The flier will amplify and give details of our message to a wider audience.

•Targeted mailing campaign

We plan to run a targeted mailer campaign, making sure our unfiltered message reaches every doorstep in strategic districts. Why do so many politicians and special interest groups send postcards before elections? They are effective.

•Media and Press campaigns

We know how to get press attention and plan to target our press releases at key media companies.

On the horizon:

Electronic billboard truck

We plan to buy an electronic modern billboard truck in the future.
