This Friday is the big push for tweeting at 9 PM EDT/8PM CDT/7 PM MDT/6 PM PDT.
The hashtag will NOT be #TeamRaza, that tag is burned, it will be something new so it will trend more easily.
@DarkMatterFTL will announce it 30-60 minutes before hand. I will try to retweet tptigger42 but depending in when I get off work, I may be frantically trying to get my walk in and take a shower before tweet time/sunset.

Full details of the campaign are available on Three if By Space with a slightly outdated TL;DR on this post.

If nothing else, be sure to Sign the petition!

I promise I will not be spamming the comm with this. (The sets get struck in two weeks, and it's over, so worst case, there will be one more Friday reminder post.)

EDIT: the hashtag is #RocktheRaza - remember do not use it before 8 PM CDT (9 EST), always mention "Dark Matter" (no tag) in your tweets and @netflix (be nice). Only use one hashtag, #RocktheRaza and do not start before the top of the hour!

Joe says he has someone very interested and watching fan reaction closely, so this may actually work!

...by finding it a new home.

Yes, a lot of fans try to get Netflix or other outlets to pick up cancelled shows, but in this case SyFy cancelled the show more due to the fact that it was an acquisition than actual ratings. (It's apparently SyFy's most watched scripted show of the summer.)

We don't know exactly which outlets the producers are targeting, but they are trying very hard to find Dark Matter a new home.

A group of fans, called the Dark Committee is leading the fan efforts to make some noise.
Full details from Tom Gardiner, committee member
Here's the TL;DR
If you have phone spoons: Call Netflix: 866-579-7172 ask them to pick up the show. (Be clear you mean new episodes, they already stream it.)
You can also chat with them via the site if you're a member.
mail Netflix at pr@netflix.com telling them who you are and why you think Dark Matter should continue on their service. Apparently this email didn't do what they thought it did. (Weird bounces are weird.)
Fill out Netflix's content request form
Sign the Petition - Show runner Joe Mallozzi says it won't effect SyFy's decision, but whoever he's talking to is paying attention to how many signatures it's gotten.


Make noise on Twitter! We will be tweeting under #TeamRaza all week, and at the following times on Fridays until further notice:
18:00 PT/21:00 ET (AKA Dark Matter's East Coast air time), and with Europe at 12:00 PT/15:00 ET, UK at 20:00, France, Spain, Netherlands, etc 21:00.

Also we can live tweet episodes at the 18:00/21:00 time, starting with Season 1, episode 1 this Friday, 9/8. Watch on Netflix if you've got it! (I may revert to Blu Rays if the connection goes wonky from too many of us streaming at once.)

Follow DarkMatterFTL on Twitter for the latest--and tweet trends. (It is Tuesday at 8:36 PM central time and I just found them trending #DunkinTheCosmicDonut.)
I will try to edit as I hear news, but this is moving fast.
