The new campaign is called #JustOne – since there is just one senator standing between the creator community and the passing of the CASE Act, and that is Oregon Senator @RonWyden. See options for action below.
Action #1: Create a #JustOne Selfie and Post
To kick things off, we’re inviting you to take selfies (and/or short video clips) that depict you holding up one index finger to indicate #JustOne Senator is holding up the CASE Act, and looking for you to encourage as many creators (and friends of the creator community) as possible to take selfies (and/or short video clips) and participate in the #JustOne campaign.
Campaign Hashtags: #JustOne, #CASEAct and #MySkillsPayBills. And when tweeting messages, please be sure to tag Senator @RonWyden.
Quick tip regarding selfies: Feel free to look serious when taking selfies for this campaign, but remember to keep it above board and no need to look “menacing”.
And here’s a link to a FB photo frame (thanks for creating this, Jenna Close!):
Just click on the “the case act” to find it. ASMP is listed as the owner, but everyone is welcome to use the frame.
Action #2: Repost and Retweet current #JustOne content
If you don’t want to create your own #JustOne selfie to post, please feel free to repost/retweet the images currently posted on ASMP social media channels listed below and share them with your colleagues, friends, and family.

- [Sen. Ron Wyden] made promises at the first [townhall], which he apparently hasn’t kept,” says Oregon photographer and ASMP national board vice-chair Michael Shay. “We’re very concerned about why Senator Wyden … is the only guy standing in the way of passing the CASE Act. He’s the only senator who has a hold on a bill that passed 400 to 11 in the House of Representatives. ”Read the full Billboard article here: https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/legal-and-management/8546320/case-act-stalled-senate-ron-wyden
