The Activist Bubble
Activists Assemble! Join Meg and Sarah each week to explore and understand Democratic Activism in a whole new light. The Democratic Activist Community has been wildly under-studied and it’s time to change that. These interlopers are committed to taking an in-depth look at the dynamics that exist in this community that takes on the biggest missions and works tirelessly to create a better world. The Activist Bubble seeks to create a much needed space for conversations among activists to better understand their activism. We are more than our Twitter feeds or our protest signs or the number of postcards we write - and the strategy to create a thriving activist community should reflect that. Check out our video series, “The Activist Bubble Presents!” on YouTube and visit www.bluetentleadership.com to learn more!
