John,
Twitter, a digital town square that has been at the center of so much online organizing, is in the midst of upheaval. Newer social media platforms are gaining traction and may be worth exploring. Discord, TikTok and Mastodon, which is not the “new Twitter” now but is also not as complicated as you have have heard, are all on the rise.
So what’s a nonprofit organization to do? Netroots Nation's educational partner New Media Mentors is hosting an online panel and discussion;
Twitter, Mastodon and What Comes Next for Nonprofits on Social Media
Thursday Feb 23. Panel 1pm ET with optional breakout discussion groups at 2pm ET.
This free panel is a must for any nonprofit, advocacy or labor organization trying to make sense of social media going forward. We will tackle key questions like:
- Should you be on Twitter?
- Where is online energy growing now?
- How are communities using these new platforms?
- What are the possibilities and pitfalls?
Our panelists are big picture thinkers about social media and practitioners themselves:
Keidra Chaney, Digital Engagement and Accessibility Manager at National Network for Abortion Funds and founder of The Learned Fangirl.
Adriel Hampton, digital agency leader, former candidate and nonprofit tech founder.
Cameron Jones, MSW. Engagement Director for Progressive Victory.
And our moderator is me, Elana Levin, New Media Mentors Program Director and Co-Founder of Organizing 2.0. So RSVP and join us February 23rd.
See you there,
Elana Levin
