We had a big win on November 24, Opt Out Day. Courageous consumer advocates met up at 28 airports around the country to educate flyers. The TSA dialed back their abuse for a couple days. And we reached millions of people through dozens of TV, radio and print interviews.

Now, every day is We Won’t Fly Day. The government is not listening. The airline and travel industries are our last shots. We must open their hearts and show them our consumer power so they’ll get on our side. Together we have an excellent chance to replace the scanners and gropers with real security. Without the airlines on our side, further begging of congress critters is an exercise in futility.

But December 23rd is special. December 23rd is a space for creative conscious-raising on an international stage. Our goal this time is educational meetups at 50 airports in the US, 5 in Canada and 1 in the UK. We’ll support anyone who wants to organize an outreach, no matter where you may be located. Even airports without scanners are critical. Airports of all sizes worldwide are tightly connected. Ultimately, many will face the possibility of being scanned or groped. We need to reach everyone.

We need folks to step up and organize meetups in Canada, the UK, New York City, Salt Lake City, Tulsa, San Jose, CA, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Miami, Cheyenne, Butte, Omaha, Fargo, Des Moines, St. Louis, Little Rock, New Orleans, Memphis, Mobile, Charlotte, Columbus, OH, Pittsburgh, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, London and any airport near you.

Here at We Won’t Fly we will support, guide, train and even supply you with the necessary materials to make your event a success. The goal is to educate, inspire and perhaps even entertain.

If you can help us out, anywhere, please set up a meetup or get in touch with the existing meetup group and email [email protected]. The TSA threat is still real. We need to finish the job we started, and finish strong.
