Getting Involved

I answer a question in a comment on my last video asking how to get more involved in the HPA if you are young.

WARNING: HARRY POTTER FREAKS!

Most of you are so shallow (like your whole life is HPA) that you'll lose it all. Social media & internet is so crucial to us now in accomplishing what you & I want. This is why the government has created the internet kill switch by means of SOPA. Fun & entertainment is about to be ripped from you unless you engage this threat like others already have around the world. Many of us are aware of the problem now.

SKIP THE LIP SERVICE:UNITE FOR SOLUTIONS & ACT NOW!

@shawso7 woah! good message, poor delivery. Let's not insult people in all caps to try and spread a legitimate message, because that isn't going to help your cause. We have a video up about SOPA already and the HPA's website took part in the blackout. We've also been heavily promoting efforts against SOPA/PIPA on all of our Social Media platforms. Thank you for trying to spread the necessary call to action, but please reevaluate your delivery. -julian

Hello, I'm another person of 15, super excited, motivated, and long past waiting to make a change, but I still don't know how to help out. I am aware of what is going on. But I have no camera. I have attempted to become a part of the wonderful staff. I have no local chapter but suppose I could further look into that... I also never found out how to send the letter...email? Physical mail? I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask all of this, but the video was appropriate.

[thehpalliance]

@Kiralay0 Glad to hear that you are eager to help as well! You can download either the pre-written letter or a "fill in the blanks" letter from the link I've placed in the description of this video. The point is to send out a physical letter to the address that is on the letter itself at the top left [: Thank you for wanting to get more involved! We are going to have more actual actions for our members very soon for NiHN! -julian

Great video!

I checked out the Staff Application page, and unfortunately, I have neither the internet skills nor the time commitment necessary to qualify for one of the positions. =(

But I have not given up hope! I'll be spending the Summer in Washington DC, so hopefully, after all of my Honors work in college ends in May, I'll be able to volunteer with the DC chapter mid May through August. I hear they're doing a lot of great things! XD

[thehpalliance]

@KelperniaRena Awesome, glad you are getting into a chapter, they're a lot of fun! -julian

What does joining the staff entail? How does one go about that?

[Kiralay0]

@thehpalliance Thanks for responding! And for clearing up the bit about the letter :). Glad to know more is coming very soon; I'll stay tuned to the WWN

[shawso7]

@thehpalliance Agreed. Sorry. I should have thown a :) or a LOL in there some where for the sarcasm meant. Unfortunately my last message took up all 500 characters allowed in a "Comment" & I know by submitting a follow up clarified comment the more important one gets pushed down the list. Seeing as you were honest enough to see the merit in my message & place it at the top AND kind enough to correct me I submit these comment & my apology. Thanks "thehpalliance" for sounding alarm!

At the end of the day, (aside from perhaps starting a chapter) I have no what to do to help this wonderful underground movement, but desperately want to. When it's underground, that's when most help is needed right? I've worked on myself by doing what I can environmentally. I saw the U-No-Poo bit on the Splashlife page, and a snowball effect later, I have gone from vegetarian to vegan (health disputes momentarily aside), and am working on going plastic-free, but am anxious to do more.

Beater is the best! I played chaser last time my team met and it was a total disaster. A broom hitting me in the face and just about breaking my glasses like yours disaster.
