SUMMARY:SOCIAL MEDIA TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:Making our voices heard is crucial to building up momentum for the midterms and stopping Project 2025 in its tracks. \nRallies and protests send a powerful message that we want our reps to stand up against corruption. And there’s even more we can do\, like amplifying messages on social media and bombarding politicians with feedback so they have to listen! \nAnd it’s not just about criticizing them. If our reps do something good\, we’re happy to spread the word! \nLearn to perfect the fine art of social storming. We’ll explain it all\, and get you posting effectively in no time! \nRegister HERE. \n
