Twitter Parties for Activism

It’s something that’s completely fallen through the cracks of modern society — get this: In 2016, food stamps still can’t be used to make online food purchases. We can go online and buy almost ANYTHING. You name it, you can get it. So why are 46.5 million people who depend on food stamps stuck in the stone age?

A twitter party is basically a live chat on Twitter using the hashtag (#) search feature to organize the conversation and encourage others to participate.

The Breast Cancer Fund, The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics & Mamavation want to spread the word that cancer prevention is more than just pink ribbons and walks. It isn’t just about diet & exercise either: Environmental toxins are suspected to cause 90% of breast cancer in America.

But don’t you want to know? Do you have a right to know?

Mom blogging and health-based communities all over the internet are uniting this Friday, January 27th from 9-10pm EST to petition the @Strong_4_Life Campaign and the State of Georgia to cease this campaign before it does any more damage to children. The Strong4Life Campaign has purchased billboard ads all over the State of Georgia in hopes to promote a "wake-up call" to Georgian parents about how many children are obese. Unfortunately, they decided to create ads that are so controversial, they are down right offensive and hurtful to children. We think they have gone too far. As a concerned group of moms we recognize that Georgia has a large scale problem with obesity. No one is refuting that. We are refuting however tactics that would inadvertently harm children in the process.
