Date and time of event: July 15th, 3pm EST
The goal will be for as many of us to post (on all social media) using the hashtag #JoeRoganForForegen as well as send emails and DMs to Joe Rogan at the above date and time. We're asking for as many people as possible to coordinate for this. This announcement is being posted to other anti-MGM forums.
Please please please participate. I can't stress how important getting our numbers up is.
Why Joe? He is a multi-millionaire who could easily fund Foregen, and he's openly against MGM. Further, he is circumcised and presumably has a personal incentive to help Foregen succeed. So basically, if he just finds out about Foregen and has enough requests to help, we think he would very plausibly donate a lot. Who knows, maybe he'd even have someone from Foregen on the show!
Foregen has already made great progress, so imagine what it could do with a big backer.
Above all, we want to be respectful of Joe and not treat this like we feel entitled to his funding of Foregen or make this flippant. It's certainly irregular for a group of people to ask a specific celebrity to fund a scientific project, but this doesn't mean we should let this project become unserious.
If you have any suggestions or want to help further we would greatly appreciate it. Please set a reminder for the date and time so you can help. Even a short message to him will make a difference.
Here is an example message/email in case anyone is unsure of what to say:
"Dear Joe Rogan,
I am writing to you in support of Foregen, a company that is trying to help circumcised men regain their genital integrity. By using decellularized donor-foreskins and stem cells, Foregen will help men regain what was lost. As someone who has spoken against circumcision and the trauma it brings, I am sure you will recognize the magnitude of such a medical achievement. Thousands of us suffer every day with the hope that Foregen will succeed, but it is sadly estimated to take 5+ years before the operation is commercially available. This is because of a significant lack of funding. It's for this reason that I implore you to consider supporting Foregen. Even mentioning it once on JRE would help greatly. Any assistance you can offer would be appreciated beyond words.
Thank you very much for your time/attention."
Try to put it in your own words as well. It's not bad to be emotional in the message, as long as you remain polite and remember that Foregen is absolutely not entitled to his support.
