Training Tag(s): Experienced Online Organizing
Starts: Thursday, Aug. 13 4:00 PM (Eastern)
Ends: Thursday, Aug. 13 4:50 PM (Eastern)
Nonprofits: We have to admit, we have a problem. Our social media content is often stiff, inauthentic, and worst of all, unable to break out of the Washington bubble. We’ll teach you how to make relatable, authentic content that will bring new people into the fold and say something real and meaningful. We’ll talk about the basics of video, graphic, and text content and how to break through the chatter on each platform to make a difference.
