Social media has emerged as a new and effective tool for advocacy and organizing. While various organizations have begun to understand and utilize the potential that Facebook, Twitter, and other areas of new media offer, there is still a great deal of room for the antipoverty community to gain traction and presence online.

In an effort to grow the social media prominence of the antipoverty cause, we at Half in Ten are excited to announce a social media training with Alan Rosenblatt, Associate Director of Online Advocacy for the Center for American Progress Action Fund and the Center for American Progress. Under Rosenblatt’s leadership the Center for American Progress’s new media presence earned the 2010 Markie Award for social media.

The training will discuss how the antipoverty/economic opportunity movement can use media such as Facebook and Twitter to grow our audience, strengthen our cause, and engage in new advocacy tactics with members of Congress. Register for this training today.
