INAUGURATION VIRTUAL WATCH PARTY KIT

First things first – let’s create your event on Mobilize!

  • Set the time, pick a theme but, most importantly, make it fun. Write a description and tell attendees why your party is the place to be (online, of course).
  • Set up your event here!

Pro-tip: Be sure to think about how you plan to chat with your friends virtually for your party! Zoom? Google Hangout? There are a lot of good video options available! 

It’s not a party without friends – it’s time to spread the word.

  • Invite your friends, family, and online community to get them in on the fun!
  • Use the Presidential Inauguration Toolkit for Zoom backgrounds and to post about your event on social media.

Organizer Tip: Text your event link to 3 friends and ask them to share it with their friends, group chats, and Facebook groups.
