Event Submission
for Website Inclusion
The Journey for Justice Event Schedule is read by the local
and national media. Sometimes we receive press coverage as a
result of the website publicity alone. Your meeting information
needs to be thorough -- and must be accurate.
There are lots of young and 'budding' documentary film makers,
covering political issues and social movements. We encourage
their participation. The information you submit is crucial to
many ways that the Journey for Justice grows. Please take time
to give your attention to the following details.
We will need the following information before we can include
the event you are scheduling on the Journey for Justice Event
Schedule:
- Name of group, with contact person and complete contact information.
(If you have registered as a Journey for Justice Organizer, we
have this information.)
- Name of the event if you have given it a special name
- Date, day of week and time
- Place the event is being held
- Directions to the place of the event - remember that you
may have to give west/south/east and northbound directions. You
may provide a simple graphical map if you want to.
- Mass transit instructions (for bus routes, subways, commuter
trains, etc
- Website URL's of groups co-sponsoring the event.
- Names of special local or national guest speakers (besides
Journey for Justice Participants), their contact information,
and complete titles, and URL's of websites that give biographical
information.
- Any other information for your particular event you want
us to consider including on the Journey Event Schedule.
- If you can convert your Public Event publicity poster/flyer
into a PDF document, we can post it with the Journey event schedule.
Perhaps strangers will download and hang notices of public Journey
events in other neighborhoods your volunteers won't cover. See
Flyers and Posters for our samples,
including fill-in-the-blank-and-print PDF documents that you
can use with your Journey for Justice event..
When you're ready, e-mail the information above to: schedule@november.org
