how to help my show without spending money

As you probably know by now (and are sick of me squeeing about), a full production of my play, Tulpa, or Anne&Me is premiering here in NYC this June as part of the Planet Connections Theatre Festivity. What's great about PCTF is that they're an eco-friendly festival that's also about raising awareness (and money) for various causes. I'm doing my show to raise awareness for The People's Institute for Survival and Beyond, a grassroots organization dedicated to undoing racism. Hopefully, at least one person per performance (4 people total) will attend one of the People's Institute's Undoing Racism workshops.
One of the results of finding this out in mid-April is that we have 6 weeks to do what people with some sense would take 6 months or so to do. People have to wear a few hats to get stuff done, but I'm good because I keep busy and feel creative and useful.
Among the many things on my To Do list is reaching out to people to spread the word about the show. So we had someone cook up a lovely little e-postcard you can pass around to your friends and co-workers, who can pass it along to their friends/co-workers, and so on. Isn't she adorable?
I know that not everyone lives in the center of the world NYC, so getting friends to come see with the show with you is not an option. Nevertheless, there are still some things you can do. For example:
Update: The date & venue for the video are incorrect, as you can tell by the updated e-postcard.
BTW, don't forget to mention the People's Institute.
Thanks for your help.

- Follow the main character on Twitter ( Afrodyke) and bring your followers along
- Reach out to 3 blogs and/or LJ comms with readers in NYC (including yours!)
- If you're going to be in NYC, come see the show and bring a friend (or 10).
