Let's do some good. Below are some websites that attempt to crowdsource social change. If you've never visited them, go check them out now: First, look through the links above and choose a petition or fund that appeals to you. Your task for this assignment is to build some support for this chosen fund or petition amongst your friends and family using social media. Second, in your assigned group[^groups], share what you chose and as a group, brainstorm ways to use your assigned persuasion strategy (which you may need to look up in the textbook or on Wikipedia). Huddle up in class to chat, and post your individual plan in your group's discussion board. Third, after you have posted to fb or twitter and have gotten some likes, some favorites, or some retweets, take a screenshot and post it to this, central, discussion board so that everyone can see your persuasion strategy at work. In your discussion board post here, also post a link to your original chosen fund or petition. While not a competition or anything, I'm personally curious as to how much traction you guys can garner online from friends and family. This is an interesting "experiment" in social persuassion…
