Using Social Media for Activism Training! This past election, MAGA extremists took advantage of social media to turnout voters. While walking doors and calling voters are effective ways to reach voters, Republicans are finding other ways to reach voters. Therefore, in addition to canvassing, Young Democrats need to get innovative in how we fight MAGA extremism, including using social media. On May, 1 2025 at 6PM PST, Progressive Political YouTuber (800k+ YouTube subscribers) and Content Creator Jack Cocchiarella ([link removed]) is partnering up with the California Young Democrats to host a training ([link removed]) designed to help Young Democrats use social media for activism. RSVP now! ([link removed]) Use social media to combat MAGA extremism! ([link removed])
