Twitter for Activists

Michelle's background in activism comes from her former volunteer role as a Tweeting Activist, along with years in leadership and as a volunteer with the PTA and many other organizations.

Tweeting is something she believes can help raise awareness of her two main efforts:

#ItsNotJustPot and #OnePillCanKill - #JustSayKNOW

PART 4 - Michelle's Wish List:

      • Michelle would LOVE to create DM groups, that we can drop texts for everyone in the group to like/comment/retweet. But we need more tweeters to make this worthwhile!

      • We should create a link of twitter “soundbytes” to copy/paste as needed.

      • We should create lists of groups to follow

      • Also list of people to follow (I reached the 5,000 person limit so stopped being as interested in this topic – until I recently purged 1,500 people I was following who weren’t following me back. Now I have room again to add following!)

Let me know if you want to work on any of these projects with/for me & our activism efforts! wearenotalonecommunity@gmail.com
