Fairfield, CA social media training for progressive activists

9 Sep

From building your own daily Internet newspaper with Twitter, to micro-targeting Facebook ads, it’s never been easier to reach both niche and mass audiences with activist messages. On September 19, 2-4 p.m., I’ll be leading a free “Citizen 2.0” training at the Solano Democratic Party headquarters in Fairfield, 2500 N. Texas Street.

Learn effective use of Twitter, Facebook and blogging platforms, with a focus on progressive outreach and volunteer recruitment and retention. This presentation will cover the basics on to advanced techniques suitable for social media campaign managers.

Join us in Fairfield, and on the “Citizen 2.0” Facebook group.
