<font size="4">The NonProfit Center by South Station</font></span></font></font><br><em>Do you want to master integrating your media message across multiple channels (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, email)?</em> We're very excited that Amanda Johnston, integrated media guru at GLAD, has agreed to facilitate this training.
Go beyond social media 101 and get some tips and tricks on using social media tools to further your organization’s mission.<span> </span>We’ll
talk about how using social media for your organization differs from
personal use (and in what ways it’s the same); negotiating resistance
and barriers to social media use in your organization; and thoughts on
creating a constructive social media policy.<span></span><b style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><br>

I often get asked for suggestions for where to hold different events.
What would be really helpful is if we had an organized resource list of
venues in the Boston area that would host progressive/activist meetings
or events. With your help SoJust is going to build this list. Please
share your venue leads via <a href="http://www.bit.ly/VenueLeads" target="_blank">www.bit.ly/VenueLeads</a>.
Together we'll build a stronger progressive movement in
Boston. (We'll be updating this form with additional a/v questions
shortly - thanks to the help of folks who shared their expertise).<br><font size="2"><br> For Justice,
