I think IMMEDIATELY after the movie, the audience needs to be engaged in
two ways: 1 - ASK FOR AN IMMEDIATE GUT REACTION - what were the most revealing, startling, and/or concerning things that you just learned? A facilitator should write those down on a large sheet of easel paper. 2 -
offer the post cards and pens, ask them to add their own brief sentence or
two to the pre-printed message, get them to sign, and LETS MAIL THEM!

A third and fourth possible involvement would be ask them to suggest
another audience, and hand out cards with newspaper editors contact info, ask the audience to jot down those main points on the easel sheet AND WRITE LETTERS TO THE EDITORS (promoting the legislation and perhaps also encouraging more folks to see the video? I wish there were a 10 minute version, people just won't give up their favorite 'reality tv' show to see what's really happening!)

When we've exhausted avenues of our own to show the video, LET'S DONATE IT TO THE LOCAL LIBRARY so it continues to circulate.

And finally, anyone who has a website can be asked to pass the word via
their own site - to encourage the letter writing, promote the dvd, link to
the legislation, etc.

How else will we make a change?
