Folks, feel free to drop questions here as they come to mind!

best interns I ever had have consistently been 16 and 17 year olds.

I hired a 15 year old intern on the campaign who created a viral Joe Biden fan page. He was amazing!

lol

How did you all use social media not just on outreach but on listening and engagement?

Thoughts/plans on how to tie data from young people to the voter file considering the match rates are extremely low for this demographic? What do data teams need to invest in and wrestle with to support this outreach within our current ecosystems?

matching without an email is really hard. Names are terrible for matching

LOVE this

OMG, that is amazing

Reminds me of when I was in college the “vote naked” thing to get folks to vote at home where they were allowed to be naked - then mail it

LOL

though there were Biden Harris yard signs on Animal Crossing

I remember that! So good, and so true to Joe Biden’s famous love of trains!

Oh yeah transit twitter is REAL

The whistle stop tour was cool

Train twitter was shook

Definitely my favorite parts of twitter are transit twitter, gay twitter, and human rights/tech twitter

How do you balance the digital trends towards microcast vs. earned media broadcast trends with cohesion?

(Keep the Qs coming in chat, everyone—promise we’ll circle back to them!)

Benton the dog also has strong feelings about management

And delivery people!

Needt o know what apartment buildings are easy or hard to get into? Ask your local delivery person. They know every apartment complex in their delivery area

The unspoken role of a digital person is to explain to the everyone how digital is supposed to work! :)

+ 100,000,000

I was on the VoteAmerica voter helpline and the mere act of translating legislative rules to explain how to vote was the biggest pain point for folks, not errors but just understanding the process

Did we try and recreate some of them on the hard side? Yes. They were so good

Do you see the new administration helping states build any of this voter education stuff into government or do you see this as inherently part of the campaign side?

When speaking of long term outreach how do you think the age of candidates and up and coming young voters will intersect if young voters do want to be engaged not just as voters but experts

This conversation is reminds me of the time I pitched organizing on Tumblr to our new media person (who was not young) in 2012 who shut it down and there was no concept of how meeting people where they were at online was not valued! And I’m so happy to see how far this space has become (as a still young, but now older person)!

Yes yes yes

SO TRUE

*snaps*

Yes, yes, yes

Yes x100,000,000!

I haven’t jumped into this conversation but I’m screaming in solidarity Tatenda!

(As an ally)

Solidarity!

Jen! YES!

Given the funding gap between local races and bigger ones - how would you suggest at local level folks are able to fundraise enough to pay well for folks to create those entry level roles?

Yes

Yes yes yes

As an ally I am here to just listen, but agree with all being said.

unpaid internships

Yes!!!! exactly

the Trump Admin should help us all get over it.

Sorry we’ve gone off the rails a bit!

after we have a plenary and then late night sessions including Hiiiii from the Markeyverse

The closing plenary is at 5:30 pm EST, so I think we can keep this open for another 10-15 min for those who want to stay.

I prob

smaller is so much better to engage with targeted communities. and you can help fund them if it’s artists

Yes!

Showing the data that it does move the needle helps. I was a CM in NH and spent more on digital than any other state senate race and was able to capture more volunteers

well done!

Thanks, all!

Thank you all!

Thank all for your work!

Thank you so much

Thank you!
