Do you have a digital camera?* Maybe you
have a cell phone with a camera. Well then:
-
Hit the streets! Go to an area with heavy pedestrian
traffic—near shops, a post office, a popular park, etc. (For
safety and companionship, you may want to work with a
partner.)
-
Do you use public transportation to commute to and from
work? Every work day you’ll have the opportunity to meet new
people, talk about the Peltier case, and collect photos of
new supporters.
-
Table at community events, too. Or create your own
mini-event by setting up a table outside a grocery store or
another public place (with permission, of course).
-
Don’t forget church and other civic functions, flea markets,
bazaars, and pow wows.
-
Will you be attending a gathering related to Thanksgiving,
Christmas, New Years? These are prime opportunities to get
friends, colleagues, and family and/or community members
involved.
-
Host a house party and invite friends, neighbors, and family
members.
Your goal is to collect 10 photos at
least one day each week over the next several months.
If
we all do our part, tens of thousands of photos will be
collected by January 31.
*You can also purchase a disposable
(standard or digital) camera or use a Polaroid camera,
although these are more expensive options.
