Problem: Imagine that you have just volunteered to help a digitally-enabled social movement organization (e.g., Women's March, IdleNoMore, Blacklivesmatter, etc.). You are given the task of growing the movement and mobilizing supporters for their next protest event. Drawing from week 14's reading and lecture, discuss:
How digitally-enabled movements are FUNDAMENTALLY different from traditional movements of the 60s & 70s
What are some strengths & weakness of digitally-enabled social movements?
What challenges do you anticipate and need to prepare for when using social media platforms?
