Do You Need to Be Re|Educated? PPC to Host Third Re|Education Camp for Online Activists and Citizen Journalists
Are you able to harness the full power of the internet for your grassroots political movements? Imagine what you’d accomplish if you were able to fully use available technology.
People’s Press Collective will be conducting its third “Re|Education Camp” on Saturday, December 5, for pro-liberty organizations interested in using technology to supercharge grassroots movements, mobilize action for local politics, and organize state-wide in Colorado.
“Turning volunteers who are online into Internet activists for liberty”
* Understanding the Opposition: Learn how the Colorado Democracy Alliance and related “netroots” groups outflanked the Right with technology, and what can be done to reverse the trend.
* Internet Activism 101: Learn best practices and techniques in Blogging, Twitter, Video Podcasting, Facebook and other social networking sites, and what you need to know to start an effective on-line movement.
* Technical Skills: Learn effective techniques for search engine optimization, online identity management, wikis, live video and the many other means available to promote and frame your issues and candidates.
* Legal Issues in Activism: Protect yourself by learning about the legal considerations in becoming an activist. Our seminar will teach you how to use the Colorado Open Records Act, avoid defamation and other liabilities, train you to deal with confrontations and police, and make you aware of exactly what your 1st Amendment rights cover as an activist.
The Re|Education Camp will be held in the Beckman Center on the campus of Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, on Saturday December 5, 2009 from 9AM to 5PM (check-in begins at 8:30AM, class commences promptly at 9AM). Cost is $50 per person ($25 for CCU students with current, valid CCU student ID), which includes lunch. Check out the “Citizen Journalists” tab on the menu at the top of the site for further information and camp registration instructions.
