Help Fundraise to #SaveTheAcolyte

UPDATE:

Hi all. Our team has seen some unfortunate discourse online disparaging our fundraiser for the campaign to #RenewTheAcolyte and our intentions, so we wanted to take the time to dispel misconceptions about this fundraiser and outline how your funds are being used to help the campaign to renew the series.

BACKGROUND:

This fundraiser has been organized by a group of passionate fans who are dedicated to saving The Acolyte and urging Disney and Lucasfilm to give the series a much-deserved 2nd season. Inspired by incredible fandom efforts to save their beloved shows, such as Our Flag Means Death, Shadow and Bone, and The OA (among many more), we decided as a team to launch more public efforts to support our campaign, first by purchasing digital billboard space in Times Square to expand our reach outside of online spaces.

THE ACTIONS:

As mentioned in the campaign’s description, ALL donations go toward buying a digital billboard in Times Square (we’re utilizing TimesSquareBillboard.com). Our team is doing a one-day digital billboard ad later this month (which we’re super excited to share with you when it goes up!), an 11-day digital billboard ad in November, and a 4-day digital billboard ad in December. The $2,200 total listed in this fundraiser’s description reflects the following pricing:

THE END GOAL:

Our objective with our campaign at large is not only to amplify our love for the show, but it’s also to reach more people and encourage them to stream The Acolyte, while also putting pressure on Disney/Lucasfilm to renew the series.

All of us on the team have donated our own funds toward the cause because we are deeply passionate about the series and what it represents, but as many know, public efforts like this add up, and that’s why we’ve turned to fellow fans of the show to help us fund these efforts to fight for The Acolyte. Donating to this fundraiser is completely your choice.

If you have doubts about the use of these funds, please refer to the receipts and pricing information on the photo below.

With lots of love,

- The #RenewTheAcolyte team
