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
Hope you benefit from these trainings - ask about in-person/Zoom trainings too!

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
