Social Media, Social Justice
During the recent presidential election, we witnessed the immense impact of effective community organizing. Activists built relationships on the ground and online and, for the first time in a presidential campaign, truly harnessed the power of social media to build a social movement.
This Nov. 20 Center Scene public program featured experts in civic engagement (Allen Gunn, executive director, Aspiration; Jessy Tolkan, director, Energy Action Coalition; and Chris Rabb, Afro-Netizen) who shared how any organization or campaign can use those same strategies to support its social justice work and build healthy communities. The panel was moderated by Sloane Berrent, director of business development, Causecast.
