Beyond broadcast in communications for organizers
In early May, a few of us ventured down to Los Angeles to host a Social Justice Technology Skillshare. In one of the sessions, we explored what people learned while doing communications in service of community organizing efforts. We invited people to gather around a big piece of blank paper and populate it with their tips, challenges, and ambitions in applying online communications to on-the-ground efforts. The question that guided the conversation was:
- How can online communications move beyond one-way broadcasting, and instead support conversations and relationship-building in service of organizing efforts?
