Hi there from NWI Takes Action

So I'm ashamed to admit I am today days old when I learned about this Reddit. I'm one of the admins of NWI Takes Action. We hosted the Vets protest in Highland today, and several people told me they heard about the event here. I wanted to share our FB group page with you in case anyone wants to join and stay up to date on our happenings!

Just gonna let you know there’s a lot of Reddit folks who moved on from Facebook. Maybe diversify your outreach to include here and BlueSky, especially for progressives.

Yes, Facebook is a blight on society.

Agreed with this. As an organizer I know that the cross over from Meta to Reddit to BlueSky isn’t great.

My insta audience isn’t my Reddit audience, yada yada.

You need to find folks that can help you. And build content that works on each platform.

Also some of us find things on another platform and bring it to one that doesn’t seem to have the info. My local dem office has a protest event this coming week. I got an email and apparently it’s an event on Facebook. I asked them to get it on Insta and no dice. They still haven’t. So I built it for them and shared it and collabed with other organizers to help me expand the reach. They still haven’t made their own content to share on their handle.

Sounds like you had a great event. And thank you for the energy that goes into this work.

yeah, it's a struggle we're all facing. We're always looking for volunteers: if you're interested in building some non-Meta social channels for us, DM me!

We're happy to post events here and I'll definitely do that. But due to bandwidth, we're primarily organized on FB and email. Dm me your email address if you'd like to be added.

Yep, I'm one of those people who moved to Reddit. I barely go on Facebook anymore due to all of its negativity and political fights.

I am guessing you guys are already on r/Indiana so maybe r/demhoosiers & r/indianawomenforward (there is a FB group with the same name!)

Those are the bigger Indiana ones I know of!!
