Power & Perils of Digital Activism Meet Up

Date TBA

We do not dispute the powerful role of digital activism in modern social movements. However, for enduring change, personal connections must be forged. Threaded online discussion of deep / difficult topics is fraught. To surmount these constraints, we bring people together offline. When this is impractical, multimedia implements can render a whole person and better level the walls erected by race, class, religion, geography, age, ability, gender, sexual orientation. Join other digital activists for a lively discussion! Pantsuit Republic (a large post-partisan feminist group in Texas) and Indivisible Houston trade the 140-character miasma for real conversations as the substrate for change.
