Social media is already playing a big role in spreading awareness of the Pensions Justice campaign and Day of Action on 30 November.
As unions reach out to their members through newsletters, emails and local meetings, supporters are also sharing news of the march with their own friends, families and colleagues online.
There’s a lot of misinformation on public service pensions at the moment, with certain sections of the media particularly giving only one side of the story. The technical nature of the argument can make it hard for many people to understand what’s going on, but if they see information coming from someone they already trust, it’ll give them confidence to find out more or to get involved themselves.
Add to this the fact that we’ve very little time to build for an effective day of action with events right across the country, and everything that supporters can do to spread the word to colleagues, friends and family is extremely valuable. If everyone taking action on 30 November were to tell their own social network contacts, we could make this huge. So please take a moment today to invite your own networks, and help this thing to snowball.
