 Maybe A5 printed both sides, color and glossy 
 There is a print company in town that I can have print them. I suppose they would deal with the "glossy" bit. 
 Yes, you can ask them to see their paper options, not just the glossy, but the weight too, so you can decide what you like best. 
 Thank you. I’ll get a first draft A.S.A.P, A5 double sided, with the ideas above. Please let me know if you have any stylistic preferences. 
 That's awesome!  Take liberties with the content if you think of something better. 
 First draft. What could be improved? Are we missing anything? Is there something that should not be there?

 That’s awesome 🙌🏽 
 I think the styling is fine. I like that all 5 websites I listed are shown and don't take much space.

Although many people on nostr think zaps are the best thing since sliced bread, I'm not sure that will draw in more people than it will repulse even with the red explanation. For this crowd I think we should leave off that selling point.  Many normal people get nervous once you talk about sending money, either due to fear of the government and being a criminal, or fear of a scam.
Let them get orange pilled after they get purple pilled.

I think mentioning something more like "a protocol not a company" might be more effective than "A company doesn't own your nostr, you do" because the latter isn't clear that there is no company behind this at all... just that the possibly imainged company claims to not own you.  So even though "protocol" is a technical word, I think it communicates a lot here in one word that non-technical people can just gloss over without being too confused.

"Your followers can find your content, regardless of where on nostr you post your notes" is informative, but doesn't quite explain how it is that nostr is censorship resistant, whereas something like "you can post to any servers you choose, there are already thousands, and you can dynamically move away from servers that censor you without affecting your followers" or something like that.... at least people that have tried Mastodon will understand that.

I don't think "highly customizable settings" will matter to these people, nor "built around a web of trust of who you follow."

Instead of very short bullet points like these, I think fewer but longer explanatory phrases would be more effective. These will be highly educated politically active older people, less interested in bullet points that are too short for them to get the picture, and possibly even the kind of people who would read proposed legislation which is ridiculously detailed and precise.  So we should move to longer sentences with more precise statements I think. 
 Thanks for clarifying. I’ll rework now with a better idea of your audience. 
 Draft 2. 
Please let me know any observations. I hope it’s closer to what you have in mind.

 I think that is good.  I can use that.  Thank you!  🫶 
 Good to hear. Let me prep the files. I’ll also upload to the Nostr Meetup Kit community figma file. 
 Files are ready. Here’s the link to them. Please let me know if you can access them. 

I’ll update the figma later on too.

 I got them. I'll take them to the printers tomorrow. 
 "Awesome! Excited to see how they turn out! 🎨✨" 
 Printed! 
 Great! Thank you for sharing nostr with your network.
