Introducing the Strong Foundations Social Media Campaign |
|
Child
Trends is pleased to introduce a national social media effort aimed at
increasing awareness about the large and growing body of research
supporting early childhood policies. The Strong Foundations #B25 Social Media Campaign draws
upon the latest research and encourages organizations with an interest
in early childhood issues to use social media tools to promote
research-based messages.
During February, and continuing throughout early 2012, partners to the Birth to Five Policy Alliance, and any
other interested organizations wishing to participate, will post
messages on Twitter and Facebook and link those messages to targeted
research summaries and other national resources. Organizations that
have already joined the campaign and are actively communicating about
early childhood research include the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the Blank
Foundation, the First Five Years Fund, the Maine Children's Alliance,
Arizona's First Things First, and many more!
Child Trends developed a simple How-To Guide,
with tips for how best to participate in the campaign, including using
the #B25 hash tag in your tweets to unify this national effort. To make
it even easier to participate, Child Trends also developed sample tweets and Facebook posts
across 13 important early childhood research issues. We encourage
organizations and individuals that care about children's issues to tweet
and post these messages. The How-To Guide also provides guidance to
organizations interested in communicating about policies specific to
their state, such as leveraging the vast data available at sources such
as KIDS COUNT, National Center for Children in Poverty, CLASP, and ZERO TO THREE.
