Social Media for Social Change is a design research project that investigates how networked technologies and social media may be used to create hybrid public spaces where civic discourse and meaningful participation are facilitated, organized, and nurtured at a grass-roots level. This project is a collaboration between faculty and students at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and the Action Mill, who create non-violent direct actions, events, websites, products and other tools for progressive organizations, grassroots groups and campaigns.
