THE NAME:
?
So far...Re-unification Day or Independents Day.
(I'm maybe a little concerned that these are too obscure. If we're doing this in public, does it need to be more direct?)
Someone suggested in the other thread the name "Serenity Day". This could work as the best choice especially since we're aiming for some media attention. By putting the name "Serenity" out there it reinforces what the day is all about.

(3)potential spreading of flyers/stickers etc. 11th hour, I absolutely adore your flyers. Can I pass the link on?
YES... ABSOLUTELY!!! Promoting Firefly and Serenity is what those posters were born to do!
This project is an excellent way to show we're still kickin'... and we want MORE!
11th Hour

Just some thoughts before bedtime:
Lots of great ideas and energy... I think I hear the sound of 40,000 Browncoat boots marching! Look what you did Maxrimstain!
I'd be happy to donate the web space and secure the domain name. Along those lines here are a few domain names that are available:
fireflyday.com
browncoatday.com
bigdamnday.com
serenityworldday.com
serenityworldwideday.com
reunificationday.com
unificationday.com
and some that (sadly) are already taken:
independentsday.com is taken
independenceday.com is taken
serenityday.com is taken (!)
june23rd.com is taken
Of course open to any other suggestions that might be available, but a domain name should be decided on first before securing web space. And apart from posting a thread that we can all rally around a web site seems to be the next logical move (as mentioned by Rach and Artcat81, others). If you have some ideas you can check the following web site first before suggesting to see if they’re available:
http://betterwhois.com
Need: Banner Graphics (love your example Jana!)? Web designer?
FWIW - I like your singular “simplify” ideas PIRATA, about suggesting buying just the movie, even though my first thoughts were to buy the series for some friends/relatives. But what you said makes sense: one buy and one banner and one “unified” push.
It’s April 14th, seems like we should be able to get a web site up and running conservatively by May 1st, sooner is better but that’s a reasonable goal, that leaves almost 2 months from May 1st to get the message out.
So I’d like to suggest that we come together and decide on a domain name, so post your favs.
Nice job everyone! Like ArtCat81 says in her sig, "Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse"

Ah Maxrimstain, ya doll! That's brilliant!!
Terms of a domain name, bigdamnday really gets my vote.
Take a gander at the 'Pretty lil' ears' thread: some of the others (including veterans!! Yay!!) are getting on board too. There's a good discussion over the name: seems to be falling somewhere between 'Serenity Day' and 'Find Serenity - June 23rd'.
Also list of proposed action.
Am thinking for website: could a world map be set up with postings of what's happening where and when?
You know, I think this might just happen!
Yo, 11th hour: you are obviously a woman of no small talent in the graphics department. Love your work. Any chance of a specific flyer for the day, once the name gets settled and all?
So sorry to be so bossy. Am very excited!

Yeah,
When anybody posts to other websites,
Be sure to mention http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com
And the current city count
13 Cities Prep June Charity SERENITY Screenings
"We're inviting Browncoats to organize same-day
nationwide (and, if it happens, around the world)
screenings to be held on June 23, all to benefit
Joss' favorite charity -- an event we've
therefore dubbed Serenity Now/Equality Now. "
Now that Canada is involved. It is worldwide.
Like

PLEASE! There are Browncoats who never got
to see Serenity on the Big Darn Screen.
And it is for charity.
