Watch 97% Owned - the new documentary featuring Positive Money which reveals how money is at the root of our current social and economic crisis.

Spread the Word

Help the campaign grow faster

Now more than ever we need to raise awareness about our flawed debt-based system, show that there is a solution that doesn’t involve passing the costs back on to ordinary people and to generate pressure on the government and politicians demanding a real change.

We’ll only get change in the banking system – and consequently in the quality of our lives – when enough people understand how it really works. Spreading the word is crucial!

If everyone of us brings only one person to join the campaign today, the pressure for things to change will double overnight!

There is really a lot what you can do even with only very small action. Here are some ideas, however you are very welcome to come up with other, new ideas…:

 

Tell your friends, family and colleagues, show them the videos

Download FLYERS and give them to your friends, people attending related events etc.

 

 

 

Email your friends, family and colleagues with a link to www.positivemoney.org.uk

Add to your email signature a note mentioning Positive Money e.g. “Take 3 minutes to find out where money comes from and why that means we will all end up in debt…http://www.positivemoney.org.uk”, or some of the quotes


Join us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/PositiveMoney and like, comment and share our posts with your friends. This is the fastest and very efficient way how to spread the word, to bring new people to the website where they can find out more.

 

Follow us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/PositiveMoneyUK and mention, retweet our posts

 

 

Spread the word and videos on YouTube – If you have your youtube channel (or any other video channel), feel free to put our videos on your list

 

Spread the word commentating on current events in some of the prominent news (Guardian, Telegraph, etc) – this is very efficient in attracting new people to our website, especially if you succeed to post link to our website or mention the name Positive Money.

 

If you have your own website, post the link

If you write blogs, use some of the information that you find on our website and educate your readers

Organize a local meetup …and possibly set up a local campaign group. Our vision is that local groups will arise and grow organically, organizing their own activities according to their own preferences to raise awareness about the problem with our flawed debt-based system, about the solution that we are proposing and to generate pressure on the government and politicians demanding a real change.

 

Educate your MP

 

If you have personal contacts with journalists – even in small local newspapers/radios/TV – explain them, show them the videos and ask them to write about the problem with our money

 

 

If you have other ideas, please leave a comment or suggestion below.

    I applaud the effort but it is conceptually flawed in the deepest possible way, seriously.

    It overlooks what makes money multiply its control over our lives. This approach doesn’t interfere with that all-consuming problem at all.

    What forces ever growing control of our lives and resource consumption is the practice of using investment to multiply investment, adding by %’s. At first when there are ample surplus available resources it super-charges growth by multiplying the machines of consumption. Then… adding the profits to increase the scale of investments turns growth into a cancer. It becomes the strong consuming the resources of the weak to the bitter end. We now see it starting.

    Can PF Henshaw suggest any possible solutions? especially in language non economists can understand?

    • http://synapse9.com/signals P.F. Henshaw

      Sure, I have a new blog post drafted in the style of “The Story of Stuff” called “the Story of Broke – Part II (the end of broke)”, as if a sequel to the Free Range Studio explanation of how our tax money goes to subsidies for profitable businesses. My “Part II” is http://www.synapse9.com/signals/2011/11/08/the-story-of-broke-part-ii-the-end-of-broke/

      You’d also like this AM’s post, “The Uroboros mistakes her tail for lunch.” a mix of my systems physics and children’s picture book. http://www.synapse9.com/signals/2011/11/10/the-uroboros-mistakes-her-tail-for-lunch/

      As you can tell I think people need to understand what they’re trying to fix before they’ll understand what would fix it. Something that I find quite a problem is how social groups tend to see nature working by their own social calculus, not realizing that nature generally has her own… ;-)

    While not wishing to detract from anything that PF Henshaw has said [I am sure it is all quite valid ] but his analysis must not detract from the recommended initiatives.What we should do with Henshaws suggestions is add them to the list not use them to denigrate those that are there already.

  • http://synapse9.com/signals P.F. Henshaw

    Graham, thanks for the general acknowledgment. I could help more if we were to coordinate “the list” you refer to, so that it serves to expand rather than confuse the learning process. My perception is that nearly all the popular ideas of what drives our “debt based system” of money, and how to change it to stabilize money and our relation with nature, are technically and conceptually flawed.

    What the real driver seems to be is society’s dependence on getting multiplying returns from idle cash. So business and the public alike ask government and private institutions to “please make it so”. They sincerely try (as dumb as that is in some ways), and that is what invites such excesses of every kind that it invariably ends in grand societal failures.

    I can tell the intent of “Positive Money” is consistent with trying to do something about that, but just not whether it would in practice.

    Greetings,Firstly,  thanks to the huge PositiveMoney work to show us another point of view of the current monetary problem. I’m just an engineering student, and I know I’m far to understand all the keys that are hiding in the current economy, but your effort is an enormous step ahead.Despite of my inexperience , I’m interested in spread this information to the world and I agree with your suggestions, that’s why I’ve been thinking in another possible idea to add to yours:Give the chance to the people to subtitle your videos in their own languages. (not translate)Why?Because this will allow people interested in this topic to be able to understand your message.Your message will acces to more public, from differents countries, that means they can share their opinion with you, and help you to grow and be known.I’m sure I’m not the only one who are interested in this topic but have some difficulties to understand the whole problem (how banks create money for example), imagine what happen if you add to this, the missunderstanding due to english?That happens the last day I met with some university mates and we started to watch  ”How money is created”  and “Consequences of fractional-reserve banking” playlists. It wasn’t a problem actually, cause i finally explain them by my own, but what happen if they just want to investigate by their own? Well, they probably give up and ignore it. I guess that happens everyday with more and more people, and we need them.I’m aware that subtitle your videos in differents languages by random people is risky. But it isn’t a problem at all, you can just check their videos, and get in contact if you are disagree.

    I want to be one of those random people and I’m filled of energy to do this work.

    I’m looking forward to your answer, and hope to work together: The People and The Positivemoney movement.

    An Student.
