**GM Bus and Green Pill Trailer - Season 1**

### Summary

The GM Bus is focused on collaboration, cross ecosystem coordination and engaging with IRL communities to spread adoption of DAO's.

With interests in spreading the gm vibes and improving the crypto narrative, Bankless DAO is invited to join in a Media Partnership with the gm bus, as joint recognition in the awareness campaign. We are also requesting $BANK to compensate our squad.

### BACKGROUND

The GM bus will cultivate awareness of the regenerative nature of decentralization and the power of open source ecosystems, while boosting visibility of our individual sponsors.

By appearing IRL, the gm bus creates the opportunity to connect directly with communities outside of the crypto echo chamber.

The gm bus allows sponsors to create a unique activation campaign either through the GM Bus webpage, social media, or a physical activation on the bus.
