18th May 2025 - Using Substack: Workshop, Q&A
Our May Community Conversation will be about how we use the Internet for communication, advocacy, and building our networks.
As the Internet evolves, social media like Facebook and Instagram is becoming less effective at reaching a wide audience. Many of our members don't use them.
