Women Who Tech - Mobile Activism

We will be presenting a session during the Women Who Tech teleconference on Monday March 31 at 5:15 PM on Mobile Activism. We’ll be presenting an introduction to mobile activism, fundraising, and campaigns, discussing some mobile campaigns that worked well, and some that didn’t - and working with session participants to answer questions specific to their mobile programs. Women Who Tech is a great resource (and vibrant google group!). We’re excited to be providing this information to the women’s technology community and building our collective knowledge- our session is full (as are all the sessions!) but you can email info@womenwhotech.com to get on a waiting list.
