Can social media be used to make the world a better place? We believe it can.
Mashable & (RED) invite you to join the social media for social good movement by taking part in Social Good Day on September 23rd. During UN Week, Mashable & 92Y will host the Social Good Summit in partnership with UN Foundation where our CEO, Susan Smith Ellis, is one of the keynote speakers.
We want you to get involved, so we’ve gotten together with our friends at Mashable to invite you to attend or organize a meetup in your community to celebrate, share, educate, and engage in a discussion on how social media can be used to tackle some of the world’s social challenges and issues, in particular how it can be used to help fight AIDS in Africa.
Social media has become a critical tool for many socially-focused organizations. We’re interested in unleashing fresh thinking around how social media can raise awareness and create solutions for social issues around the world. We want to know, “What’s your solution?” Let the world hear your ideas through social media!
