Earlier this month, we successfully launched our second cohort for advanced digital policy practitioners. These Cohorts are designed to complement our Emerging Leader Cohorts and address more advanced practices and topics, designed to align with the goals of more experienced practitioners. As with all our cohorts, our overall objective is to create a space where we collectively explore policy leadership themes, share our experience and knowledge, and work through policy challenges.

Are you a social justice activist or campaigning organization wanting to make more effective use of tech and the internet?
The Ruckus Society and Aspiration are hosting a free, all-day teach-in to show activists how to use technology on their own terms, in ways that mobilize stakeholders and increase impact.
As we move forward with trainings in the Central Valley, I want to continue to keep open communication with organizations we met with in the Valley. There are many follow-up questions and comments that come out of the trainings for organizations that are actively trying to build their online communications.
In trying to find the best way to support individual organizations and provide the greater community with answers, we are thinking about trying some new ways to keep people involved in a virtual space.
