What if WE, at DU, organized and took action?

Now hear me out ... we have a lot of people here, in every state, and we all have computers phones and tons of knowledge....

What if we developed a forum for action..... emailing campaigns, fact-checking, fundraising Etc

I recognize I am not well known around here and I also have no idea on the legalities but I know that we have people here who do, we all have a lot of passion we are smart we know what we're talking about and I think we could be quite effective

Someone the other day posted a link to a YouTube video showing how we can effectively deprogram people from misinformation and I'm sorry I can't find that video right now but I'm sure someone here knows what I'm talking about. But this got me thinking how do we get this done? I feel like America is sinking and I don't want to go down without a fight

I submit this idea to all of you knowing that it may not be possible or logistically smart or there may be obvious reasons why not that I'm not aware of, so I'm prepared if that is the case.

But... what if?

It is currently underused, but there's no reason why it has to remain so. If you are interested in using that forum to organize, please feel free. The more threads you post, the more likely it is that others will join in.
