This session will discuss the advances in using social media for advocacy seen during BOTH presidential and other campaigns (Kony 2012, SOPA/PIPA etc) during 2012 and what are techniques and tools that can be used for activists and organizers in 2013.

Topics include the use of Facebook, Twitter, Eventbrite and other tools to spread your message virally, organize events/actions and develop communities that increase “bottom up” Movement-building engagement.

Social Media professionals and amateur activists will discuss and learn what are the most effective uses of the latest communication technology trends.

DC Comm Tech for Progress is a communication/technology-focused community for members of the grassroots group DC Network For Progress, a social and media-savvy organization for those inspired by the “Yes We Can” Movement.
