Ideally this would all be user generated, but usually I have to research events. This is my second favorite part next to production. It gives me a chance to put my favorite issues to the forefront. I swear there's some sort of runner's high for activists when they see their objectives go viral, which is what happens nearly every time an event hits the calendar.
I enjoy listening to Democracy Now! and hearing about the protest that I listed making a good ruckus. I don't enjoy hearing about the people I report on getting smacked down by the police, but that all comes with the territory.
My point is: This shit really works!
The best part is that anyone can contribute to the action calendar simply by shooting us an email a week or so in advance giving us all the who's what's and where's or going to the website, singing in and posting it yourselves. It's just that easy!
We can only report on three events a day, so check out the calendar at freespeech.org/calendar
What events we do report on go though a detailed technical process of entering the info into AfterEffects templates, timing and chroma keying. I'll spare you the lengthy details until the next part
What a great analysis! Great explanation Adam. You have done a splendid job overseeing the Action Calendar. Next step let's train Eliza, next week!
