Social media is essential for bringing like-minded people together online and offline to connect communities and create social and political change. This session will explore several successful strategies to build real-world connections and impact using social media strategies. We’ll look at the risks, challenges, and opportunities of moving discussions and interactions from the digital to the real world, and talk about how to manage both concurrently. We’ll have case studies from politics (Strategic Productions), social value business (Neighborgoods,net), and a nonprofit advocacy group (Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy).
