[homeles_ot-l] Amazing response to the Ask Me Ottawa campaign!

[Derek Antoine]

What a wonderful response so far to the Ask Me Ottawa campaign to end  
homelessness! A big "thank you" goes out to those who have come  
forward to volunteer and help spread our reach. As you know, we're  
trying to bring the community working to end homelessness together in  
one place to share our stories, empower our supporters, and make  
change happen.

Now that the campaign has officially launched, our first step is to  
encourage as many volunteers, staff, and people with lived experience  
to get involved. Here's how you can help:

1) Join us on Facebook: "like" the campaign Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/askmeottawa
2) Follow us on Twitter: follow the campaign on Twitter here: http://twitter.com/#!/ 
AskMeOttawa
3) Spread the word: Send this email to your friends, colleagues, and  
board members to follow suit.

Again, thank you for the wonderful response so far and helping to  
build this movement. With 9,500+ of us in Ottawa, we can accomplish a  
great deal together.

About the Campaign
The Ask Me campaign is designed to start conversations. It will give  
those volunteering and working in the sector the tools they need to  
effectively and confidently speak about their experiences. It will  
spark a conversation with those who have limited knowledge of housing  
and homelessness in Ottawa. It will break stereotypes associated with  
homelessness. It will work to broaden the support for housing issues  
outside of the sector’s traditional constituency. It will inform  
people and make them care enough to take action both during and  
between  elections.

The concept is as simple as it is powerful. Let’s increase the  
chatter, raise the noise level, and effect real results.
