Making a campaign effective
The statistics function on Facebook is amazing. It tells you so much.
I believe that the only way to get the measures called for by WNOW is through, in the first instance, a large number of the public getting behind the campaign.
So, how to get the message across?
I found it incredibly difficult considering my experiences to travel to London and record the footage you see in the Four Finger Campaign. I found it intimidating and caused a huge amount of anxiety. Without the support of my husband, my wonderful friends Including Bishop Johnathan Blake, I think that as soon as I saw the first uniform, I would have turned and left.
But avoidance is not going to make this situation go away and I have a duty to my son and anyone more vulnerable than myself, to do all that I can to ensure that they do not have to go through a similar experience.
I have an idea that I would like to pursue.
I have my logo (see above) printed on the back of a high vis jacket which I wear when on my moped.
Now, there are limitations and bureaucracy involved in organised protest. But what if it was a group of people with my Hi Vis jacket on mopeds? We could travel around London to various relevant locations (Scotland Yard, Parliament, Downing street, various media HQ's) and raise the profile of the campaign in a new and innovative way.
Will have to check out the legal implications and find a couple of dozen bikers.
But it's an idea.
