Twitter is a great campaign tool, but very under-used by many of the grassroots activists we work with. We want to get more of you on there - not only does it inform journalists, MPs and corporates but its also an extraordinary way to follow and monitor international news or at a local level, issues relating to your campaign - as well as the advocacy capacity it offers.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR LOCAL TIME (4pm start Perth, 6pm Brisbane, 7pm Mel/Syd)

* Learn how to use twitter effectively for your campaigns.

* Why aren't you on there already - discussing barriers

* Why this is an under-utilised tool for grassroots activists

* Following, interacting directly with and driving traditional media

* Interaction with politicians and opponents - a rare opportunity

Registration is mandatory for safety reasons, however its by donation as you choose.

This WILL NOT be a detailed 101 to twitter. We suggest if you are brand new, download twitter, set up a good username (simple, obvious and relatable to you if its not anonymous) and get used to the basics. Do some self education.

Some resources will be emailed upon registration. We want to make this an interactive learning session so have your account and username set up and get started here: https://help.twitter.com/en/twitter-guide

We acknowledge sovereignty hasn't been ceded and pay our respects to elders past and present on the Aboriginal lands on which we work.
