Taking It to the Streets: How We Use Digital Tools to Unite a Multi-Issue Movement

Over the past two decades, the Internet has redefined our reality in almost every aspect of life - media consumption, consumer activity, political and social interaction, and more. It has provided an entirely new set of tools that, when used well, can facilitate civic engagement, organize and mobilize people around causes, and build constituencies with power.

NIF’s new investments in online organizing will take advantage of new technologies to better empower progressives. A major component of NIF’s new investment will be seed-funding an Israeli multi-issue platform, which will find as many people as possible who agree with a broad range of progressive issues — and then expand their power and influence through strategic, consistent collective action. NIF’s action-arm Shatil — alongside ANU, an organization specializing in digital campaigning — will be providing strategic expertise to grassroots organizations to enhance their expertise in online organizing. Finally, NIF intends to further invest in and support single issue campaigns and organizations in implementing effective digital strategies.

We will be joined by an expert panel:

Libby Lenkinski, NIF Director of Strategic Initiatives
Boaz Rakocz, Director, The Social Guard
Ben Brandzel, Founder and Director, OPEN (Online Progressive Engagement Network)
Director of NIF-Initiatied Digital Organizing Project (TBD)
