The New Tool You Don't Have

95% of DownsizeDC.org’s communications are written.
 
That’s one-dimensional. Other outlets like YouTube and Vimeo are missing.
 
Marshall McLuhan said,”The medium is the message.”
 
Video is a more personal medium. With it…
 
I can say things I couldn’t write without being misunderstood. Tone of voice, facial expressions, and other non-verbal cues can express things that words, whether on a screen or document, cannot.
 
For example, we had people asking for us to speak up on the Baltimore riots. Here’s some things I would’ve SAID…
 
Riots are the health of The State, and this is because the regime media seems to exist to do three things…
 

1. Tickle the ears of each partisan tribe, which reinforces partisan division
2. Create class conflict – even civil war
3. Use the crisis to bolster interest in statist programs while crushing interest in voluntary solutions

I would’ve said these things, and perhaps more, if only we had a finished studio.
 
Thanks to a donor for our sister organization, the Downsize DC Foundation (home of the Zero Aggression Project), we’ve been able to mostly-construct a small studio. Here is a picture of me standing in front of the green screen in the back of our Operations Office.
 

 
And on Friday, we were testing the studio!
 
Yet DownsizeDC.org still needs to do its part to finish the studio. With your help, the next hot news item could have insightful, UNIQUE, Downsize DC commentary.  
 
Plus, these videos will also give you another tool to share with others.
 
You can help make this studio a reality, with a generous contribution or monthly pledge.
 
Downsize DC accepts cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, PayPal, and Bitcoin. Every bit will make a difference.
 
Thank you for being a DC Downsizer,
