#DefundTheMilitary Twitterstorm

26 April 2021 @ 8:00 am 8:00 pm

  • On 26th April we will take part in a global twitter storm to coincide with the publication of SIPRI figures on military spending. In the UK we’ll focus our activity in the morning from 8am-10.30am to try to get the issue trending, but do use the hashtags all day as more countries come online later in the day.
  • The hashtags we’ll be using are #DefundTheMilitary and #HealthcareNotWarfare.
  • Twitters guidance is not to over use #hashtags ‘One to two relevant hashtags per Tweet is the sweet spot’. Please tweet your own message of support during this time and retweet others’ messages as widely as possible.
  • Their are already a range of graphics to use on the day and we’ll be creating more over the coming days and sharing editable templates so you can make your own.
