We invite you to view a recent panel discussion hosted by The Joyce Foundation: New Tools in the Advocacy Toolkit: Microtargeting, Netroots Mobilization, and e-Advocacy.
Historically, policy advocates have effectively pressed their causes using compelling research, good ideas, and the right relationships. However, in the past few years, sophisticated issue advocates have increasingly begun to identify and mobilize supporters through a whole new suite of new media-anchored strategies and tactics, including microtargeting, social networking, and e-advocacy.
Our panel includes policy experts discussing how they came to embrace these tools, what their objectives are, what successes they have had, and what lessons they have learned.
