Social media has become much more than photo sharing and status updates. It is now a platform for current events, politics, advocacy, cultural shifts, collaboration and social justice. Social media platforms have become places of work, of stump speeches, of social and political announcements, and microphones of change and justice that reverberate around the world and throughout our communities. If you are in the business of trying to positively change the world, you need a social media strategy to strengthen and uniquely amplify your message and navigate the challenges that come with messaging in an often politically charged environment.
Join us for a lively panel discussion informed by communications, programmatic, management and legal perspectives on social media as a strategic communications and advocacy tool for both philanthropies and their grantees.
