Webinar – Digital for Youth Power: How to Use Digital to Recruit and Move People to Action
Thursday, June 23 at 2:00pm Eastern
About three out of four teens have access to a mobile phone, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center. Most go online daily and about a quarter of them use the Internet “almost constantly.” The typical teen also sends and receives 30 text messages a day. In this webinar, we’ll look at how organizers are using digital tools – text messaging, social media, email and the web – to reach young people and their adult allies, bring them into a campaign, and move them to action. You’ll learn about some of the fundamental tactics – like using a petition to recruit new supporters, get earned media coverage and pressure decision makers – and hear how groups across the country are putting them into practice. A list of resources will be shared.
