Guide to Bluesky made in partnership with Evan Sutton of Firekit campaigns.
Note from Elana Levin: Bluesky is new and information and tools change rapidly. As we say in our Digital Academy, every organization deserves its own social media strategy to meet its unique needs based on who they organize, who they aim to influence, the kind of content they are equipt to create and other factors. There is no one-size fits all social media platform. Bluesky shows tremendous promise for reaching electeds, influencers, journalists and activists.
