Social Media Posting Schedule




NOTE: We recommend starting your event promotions at least 15 days in advance.



• We post once per week until the event is within 2 weeks.
• Then we post every 2 – 3 days (depending on other traffic) until the event occurs.
• If only one scheduled post is needed, indicate that below by checking the "Post Once only" checkbox.

The Rally Newsletter



• The Rally Newsletter can publish Democratic Party news, events, and Democratic club information.
• Submissions for the Rally are due by Monday at 5:00 PM. No exceptions.
• The Rally is published at 9:00 AM on Thursday.
• The Rally posts regular events like Drinking Liberally, etc. during the week of the event. If a committee or club is interested in having a regular event promoted for additional weeks, please submit this form with instructions and the post text/image.
• Events repeat in each week's Rally until the event has passed. You do not need to send a pub form each week to keep the event in the Rally.
