🎙️ Twitter Space Alert!
How do we bridge the gap between online advocacy and real-world impact? 🤔
Join us for a deep dive into Bridging Online & Offline Activism with senior legal officer 🔥 Edrine Wanyama
📅 Date/Time: 12/12/2024 at 1900 hrs
👉 Don’t miss this crucial conversation!
It’s time to turn digital energy into real-world action. 💪✨ #ActivismUG #DigitalToAction
13k Ugandans responded to our #SautiStream radio poll asking what they think of online activists expressing their discontent on the internet.
51% feel represented, 21% are aware but don’t feel respected and 28% are unaware of online activism altogether. This means almost half of our respondents are excluded from online conversations.
We’ve organized an X Space in partnership with @chapterfourug and @cipesaug to not only explore the role of digital activism in promoting freedom of expression but also discuss the challenges of inclusivity in Uganda’s activism.
Set a reminder to join us here: bit.ly/online-offline-advoca…

Jibi: @211Check, in terms of preparation for the elections, we don’t know how people will react when we fact-check information and share it with them. So it will be alot of experimenting for us.
