Can we send links to the video before the campaign actually launches?

Greetings omninoms!
For those not yet aware, Omni intends to launch a crowdfunding
campaign on Sunday to raise funds toward renovating the commercial
kitchen in the basement!

*if you get the gist, you can proceed directly to thekitchen wiki page
<https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Kitchen> and/or peruse the CAMPAIGN
ACTION KIT
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YRIoL5jlmgxZMBdLQibWNn39gD7wSLx-EgCBbdM7izQ/edit>*
We need /ALL HANDS ON DECK /to help spread the word. In particular:
* reach out directly to folks in your networks who you think would
donate, and ask them if they could contribute when the campaign
launches. pre-pledges help ensure successful campaigns. here's
some sample text you can use
<https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/kitchen-pre-ask> (tx be to julian!)
* do you have any press contacts you could tap? we are drafting a
press release
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T3xUefmfxntMbin02Nf--R4BsQslth2SZ7Vl7NAinoc/edit>
to be published on Monday after our soft 'community launch' and
have zilch lined up so far
* can you or your group offer (and follow through on) a perk/reward
for certain donation levels? get in touch!
* when we launch on sunday, help spread the word by sharing,
retweeting, and sending to any and all relevant mailing lists!
* do you have a spare hour or two to help with social media, press
outreach, door-to-door flyering, graphic design (eg, a facebook
cover image people could use?), making a short video or blog post,
organizing an event, etc? join the kitchen working group mailing
list <https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/kitchen> and/or
attend the next meeting - Wednesdays at 6pm in the Basement Library!
Check out the wiki page at
omnicommons.org/kitchen
<http://omnicommons.org/kitchen> for more info on the project,
including the awesome campaign video
<https://omnicommons.org/omnikitchen.mp4> produced largely by the
ever-rad-Anka (and starring some of the most OG Food Not Bombs
organizers!).
-- more info:---
Given the holiday season, the extensive burdens on every activist's
energy these days, and a host of other complexities and circumstances,
we've decided to break up the campaign into 3 phases.
For this first phase, our goal is to raise $15,000 - which will enable
us to pull the permits, demo the walls for expansion of the area, and
get most if not all of our plumbing work done.
The subsequent two phases will have goals of $20K each - though by the
end of this first campaign we hope to have a solid lead or two on a
significant grant or donor.
There are many dangling threads and the kitchen crew could definitely
use more support to carry this off. Please do lend a hand, however
which way you can!
Mad love and dreams of decadent dinners at the Omni ~
