Setting your advocacy goals
Awareness does not equal ACTION on your behalf:What is success for you?How do you want people to feel?
Which people? Why do they matter?How are they prioritized?
Based upon this feeling, what do you want them to do?How will you know that you have been successful?How do you keep people’s attention?

Ask yourself some questions
How do the members of the #LCSM community collaborate and share communications resources and best practices?
Is the sum of the #LCSM parts greater than the whole? Why or why not?
What role can social media in general, and Twitter in particular, play in amplifying your message? What other tactics complement social media?

You are in active competition for mind space in a time in which people have short attention spans (think Snapchat)
Research dollars are finite You are Coke, they are Pepsi This is your passion, but some people just don’t care

Beware of the Slactivist:
What many advocacy groups have failed to grasp is the fact that you are CREATING SLACKTIVISTS.
A slacktivist is someone who, with very little effort: Comes across an interest cause or issue while surfing social media; Likes, shares, re-tweets, pins or in some other way (and with one click)
passes along the information, fulfilling her desire to feel good and worthy (five seconds); and
Immediately disengages from the “cause,” moving on to an animated .gif of a cat with a piece of string.
