This has already been asked but: What if we're flat broke? Is spreading the word enough? Trying to get others to join us in our fight? 'Cause honestly, I don't even have enough to fill up my truck most days.

Man, you guys must be reading my mind. I just did up a Fact Page to go to Seba this week so it can hit the site... He's gonna be busy with other stuff till Thursday, so it's giving me some time to do MY work and give him content for the site. I've got a few pages of content I need to get to him ASAP.
Checking the board is getting harder and harder for me, so send any comments about this to kaele@serentiyday.org Thanks guys!
And YES, just spreading the word helps too!

Serenity Day Fact Sheet
Who we are:
We are a group of fans called Browncoats who got together to organize a day to appreciate what Joss Whedon has given to us in the form of [ http://imdb.com/title/tt0379786/ “Serenity”], a movie released in September of 2005.
Why we are doing this:
Let’s be honest here. Universal and their related companies and investors made a movie for one reason: to make a profit. They didn’t do it because Browncoats are fuzzy wuzzy or because they felt bad that Mr. Whedon didn’t get to live out his dream of more seasons of Firefly. They did it for the money.
Many of us Browncoats grew tired of sitting on forums and not doing anything to actively promote a movie that we all love. Serenity became known for its use of viral marketing, and continuing that tradition, this is a fan-based extension of that campaign.
We are hoping that a sales spike of Serenity on June 23rd will turn some heads, generate some interest and garner the attention of the companies responsible for a Serenity sequel. We do this with full knowledge that our efforts will not be responsible for a sequel. Rather, we are raising awareness of our wish for a sequel by speaking in a way that the businesses responsible for a sequel would understand: cashy money.
There has been another effort independent of this site going on since January of this year for charity screenings of Serenity. (See below) But not all of us will be able to attend due to different circumstances. Here at this site, we wanted a way for all Browncoats to help.
What we’d like you to do:
If you don’t already have a copy of the DVD or the new HD DVD, please wait until June 23rd to purchase one. You may do so at a local store, or [(internal link) visit this page] to see recommended online stores to make a purchase.
If you decide to purchase from Amazon, there are two specific sites that Browncoats frequent and those sites receive a percentage of sales if you use their links to purchase the DVD. Please see the front pages of www.FireflyFans.net and www.SerenityMovie.org. These two use the contributions from Amazon to keep themselves up and running.
If you already own the DVD, purchase one or more anyway and please see the [(link) Donate your DVD] page.
If you’d like to do more:
Purchase a [probably bluemoonstuff.com “Serenity Day Tee Shirt”] to help us advertise what we’re doing.
Visit our [(internal link) “Downloads Page”] for avatars, flyers and more to help spread the word.
Add a banner from our [(internal link) “Downloads Page] to your website.
Join the [ www.geocities.com/browncoatsignalcorps “Browncoat Signal Corps”] to help spread the word in different forums. There is a post format there for you to copy and paste if you’re not sure what to say.
Please visit [ www.cantstoptheserenity.com “Serenity Now/Equality Now’s” website] to find a screening of Serenity near you. If you are able, that page also has a very nice fact sheet on how to arrange your own screening. We fully support CSTS and their efforts.
Consider purchasing other Universal licensed products. [ http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=272754 “Hot Topic”] has some excellent tee shirts available for purchase. And of course, Amazon and other sites have the novel of the movie for sale.
Spread the word, talk this up anywhere you can, or [kaele@serenityday.org “volunteer to help out”] the Browncoat Army.

Sorry guys, I kinda lost track of the preparations...
But I see the webpage progressed a lot, shiny!
Now, is there a banner chosen already?
I need the signature one, so that I can spread the message more effectively :)
Thanx for the continuated efforts, everyone!

There are licensed shirts at Hot Topic? Not at mine. I was there Sat and my husband was buying me stuff fo rmy birthday. Believe me I was looking for Firefly/Serenity stuff including bumper stickers and t-shirts.
One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.
