- Clowns but friendly clowns because we’re local and even your friends, family and neighbors
- Questions: how many work specifically with state organizations and/or state campaigns/targets? Local – city/county? Are any of you elected officials or working in/at state/local government?
- Bonus points for anyone who knows who this is!Building campaigns that influence decision makers to make specific decisions – social media helps build the networks that make this possible. How do you influence people to make decisions. Organizing is much more tangible at local levelSaul Alinsky, 1966 http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/April-2011/The-End-of-Community-Organizing-in-Chicago/
- V word = Viral : local communities a hotbed for word of mouth as friends/neighbors talk to one another. People have more in common with their friends/family when it comes to local/state issues. More familiarity. Word of mouth to spread buzz and identify people. How do you get/empower people to spread the word (engagement ladder, identify key people/influencers/evangelists/tap networks/local press and bloggers)
- A lot of advocates think of the advocacy process like this: help get elected => => => give direction => => => celebrate success BUT … what actually happens … DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT ADVOCACY: creating spacePolitical space: make room for people to act – take a load off of the individuals (elected legislators, city/state bureaucrats) and open up the discussion
- Need to understand how elected officials use social media at the state and local level.
- CHALLENGE #1: limited resources – For most local mayors and officials, the coffee shop is an office. A testament to lack of resources. But state and local officials are also much more accessible.
- CHALLENGE #2: don’t really understand social mediaAnd they don’t have time to figure it out. Don’t have people to help them. It’s not lack of interest that holds local/state electeds back so much as time to figure it out. It seems complicated.
- CHALLENGE #3: fire hose …. Incoming constituent communications
- CHALLENGE #4: the other fire hose … issuesThe legislator or local official is dealing with LOTS of different issues.
- Where does that leave us?When we think of social media and local electeds, we may think about people like Cory Booker.BUT he’s the outlier.
- THIS is much more typical – People leading mid-sized and large cities that have small followings
- Betty Bode – City Council in a city of 80k AND running for county commission but only has 176 friendsTHIS is much more common.END the challenges of local electeds section – are you an elected? Work with them? What are some other challenges faced?
- Let’s talk about examples of local campaigns to influence local elected officials.One Example: Marin County …. locals using social media have helped propel this issue into the international news
- Cover two or three examples from the audience. Look at #12NTCLGL
- TIP #1: Know the decision-makers you are focused on: who influences them and in what waysWho is the number one ally you have that knows them. Send them a love note.http://www.thebadchemicals.com/?p=481
- TIP #2: Figure out how those decision-makers use social: which tools, do they interact themselves or someone else on their behalf, do they engage with comments, how do they deal with negative comments, etc.Don’t storm their wall if they don’t use Facebook much/listen, for example
- TIP #3: use a smart strategy to convey that there is broad support and strength (whether there is or not) doesn’t necessarily take a huge #
- TIP #4: Pick up the phone. Employ a strategy that takes into consideration their position. Record their position/work from it. http://www.biancaso.com/random/what-is-communication/
- TIP #5: ensure that key influencers relevant to that decision-maker express supportKnow your allies – get those people to give good/negative attention
- TIP #6: think tactically:· get high profile and influential people to post comments (and then be sure to get lots of other people to ‘like’/retweet/comment/tags/etc. to keep that initial comment visible)· if someone deletes negative feedback, post some and capture screenshots· etc.
- Direct pressure. Social networks are online only. There are times/places where offline action is needed. How do you move people from online to offline engagement? A lot of campaigns that nobody is paying attention to b/c they aren’t connect to a campaign. Photo: http://isviral.com/pictures/occupy-wrong-street/
