The document summarizes a press training presentation by Adam Short and Fred Spencer from Clickwhirlimage on developing media relations. It covers goals of media relations, important questions to consider, types of media outlets, and tips for crafting media advisories, press releases, letters to the editor, and contacting media. The presentation also provides strategies for building relationships with media and engaging audiences online through tools like email marketing, social media, videos, and syndication.
This document provides an overview of mechanisms for understanding online communities and collective action. It discusses episodes, processes, environmental, cognitive and relational mechanisms. It outlines essential parts of online communities like trust, authenticity, safety and purpose. It also discusses collective interaction dynamics among groups like activists, sympathizers, observers and hostiles. Finally, it discusses creating a social movement organization base using the WUNC framework of worthiness, unity, numbers and commitment.
The document discusses human rights in Pakistan, outlining the basis of human rights as standards that accord to humans based on their humanity. It notes several issues regarding human rights violations in Pakistan, including healthcare access, women's rights, and child labor. The document concludes by discussing various methods that could help protect human rights, such as education, police/military training, independent judiciary, and work by international organizations.
Social Media Activism (SMA) is the use of web-based platforms, applications and technologies to bring about political or social change and has the power to disseminate information rapidly and globally. It has played a central role in recent worldwide movements for change.
We discuss current trends and limitations, the main players and their changing market share, and innovations in the on-line activism arena.
Traditional players like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are now being challenged by new tools and activist specific spaces.
Security concerns have led to the creation of tools such as Pidder, Crabgrass and OTR.
SMA is not always a force for good. Users must be responsible, evaluate the veracity of information and understand the potential to propagate crime.
Ultimately, SMA can only be a part of the movement for change - it still needs brave people on the streets to challenge the status quo.
Minorities in Pakistan are in trouble. They face double discrimination each day. There is need to eradicate all of these problems so that every one can live equally.

Is the movement to boycott Israel ethically justified, and why does Israel se...NECIP_Canada
The document discusses the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel and why Israel is worried about it. It originated in 2005 from a call by Palestinian civil society for boycotts, divestment and sanctions. The BDS movement has three demands: ending Israel's occupation, recognizing Palestinian rights in Israel, and respecting the right of return for refugees. While initially derided, the BDS movement has grown and led some companies and organizations to withdraw support from Israel. Israel has passed laws against boycotts and lobbies other countries to do the same, showing that BDS is effectively pressuring Israel.
The document outlines plans for a Global Week of Action from May 15-22, 2012 to demonstrate support for implementing a Financial Transaction Tax (FTT), also known as a Robin Hood Tax. The campaign aims to mobilize millions of people worldwide through social media and other actions to pressure governments, especially in Europe, to agree to adopt an FTT. Key objectives and actions proposed include generating media coverage, mobilizing supporters through online and offline demonstrations, and lobbying European embassies in various countries. The campaign will provide materials and coordinate activities among national coalitions and partner organizations in over 30 target countries.
Facebook Page Coordinated Campaign for Free West PapuaIsmail Fahmi
The document analyzes 20 Facebook pages related to the Free West Papua campaign from August to November 2019. It finds that the pages form a coordinated global campaign to promote West Papuan independence. The largest page is run from the UK and connects to community pages in other countries. Social network analysis shows many active users commenting across multiple pages, helping spread the campaign's messages. The campaign aims to internationally support West Papuan freedom and locally spur uprising and referendum through consistent hashtags.
This document summarizes the activities of an organization called Clean Up the World in Israel for 2011. Their mission is to promote environmental awareness and clean up initiatives across Israel. In 2010, they organized coastal and beach cleanups that removed over 65 tons of rubbish with 7,500 volunteers. They also supported environmental education programs in schools. In 2011, they plan to expand their activities to reach more communities, partner with government agencies and corporations, and develop a website as a central portal for clean up initiatives in Israel. Their budget is currently funded by donations from the Australian Jewish community and Israeli businesses, but they hope to obtain additional grants and fundraising to support cleaning up and greening projects across Israel.

The document summarizes the mission and activities of the Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF). The JIDF coordinates online efforts to promote Jewish pride and combat antisemitism and terrorism on social media platforms. It seeks to enforce terms of service by reporting content that promotes hatred, and launches campaigns on issues like supporting Israel, raising awareness of Gilad Shalit, and countering Holocaust denial online. The JIDF works to expose antisemitic and pro-terrorism groups and pages and get harmful content removed from sites like Facebook and YouTube.
The document discusses social media activism and examines case studies to evaluate its effectiveness. It defines social media activism as using social platforms to champion causes. While some critics argue offline activism is more impactful, examples like the marriage equality referendum in Ireland found social media helped engage young voters and shift perceptions to support LGBT rights. The document also explores environmental campaigns and the Arab Spring, noting social media was effective at raising awareness but usually one catalyst among others for change. Overall, the impact of social media activism depends on how effectiveness is measured.
The document discusses the relationship between social media and civil society. It describes civil society as consisting of organizations like non-profits, community groups, advocacy groups, and trades unions. It then gives examples of how social media has enabled civil society groups and activists to raise awareness for their causes. Specifically, it outlines how Twitter was used to raise money for charity, how YouTube videos spread awareness of environmental protests in Ireland against Shell, and how Lebanese activists used blogs and Twitter to share their perspectives and advocate for issues like broadband access. Finally, the document suggests topics for discussion, such as matching tools to campaign types and measuring social media campaign effectiveness.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

The Palestine solidarity movement is made up of international
groups and societies that are active in supporting the Palestinian
people rights of freedom and self-determination and opposing the
Israeli occupation. The International Solidarity Movement (ISM),
which is a major global movement defines it self as “a Palestinian-
led movement committed to resisting the Israeli apartheid in
Palestine by using nonviolent, direct-action methods and
principles…. It aims to support and strengthen the Palestinian
popular resistance by providing the Palestinian people with two
resources, international solidarity and an international voice with
which to nonviolently resist an overwhelming military occupation
force.”
The solidarity societies, groups and campaigns that are widely
spread around the globe are created on local and national levels;
including on-campus.
3. Campaigns
The work of the solidarity groups could be classified under two levels:
1) On-going campaigns that focus on
- Raising awareness of the Palestinian cause (online websites, social
media, on ground activities, stalls)
- Organising visits to Palestine
- Supporting the BDS (boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel)
campaign
- Lobbying media, politicians and decision makers in favour of the
Palestinian people rights
2) Responding to major incidents occur in Palestine (such as recent attack
on Gaza, Palestinian prisoners hunger strike)
- Organising demonstrations and protests
- Contacting local media and MPs
- Galvanising online campaigns through social media sites
4. Study Case:
Pro-Palestine Groups Activity on Facebook & Twitter
During Attack on Gaza/Operation Pillar of Cloud
14-22 November 2012
5. Questions

posted on Facebook pages and Twitter accounts during the selected time
frame:
- Nature of content
- Similarities and differences between local and regional groups
- Number of posts related to on-ground /offline activities
- Priorities of the pro-Palestine groups during crisis
6. Data Collection
• Data were extracted from the selected groups’ Facebook pages and twitter

second place after the war related posts
17. The Bigger Picture
• Although groups differ from each others priorities, most of their FB pages were
focusing first on news coming from Gaza followed by the groups local activities,
adverting other groups activities, and less focus on lobbying media and decision
makers.

25. In other words…
1. FB & Twitter sites are used mainly for sharing news about the central
point (Palestine/Gaza)
2. Second priority is announcing local events, sharing other groups
activities
3. Similar language (attack, occupation, solidarity)
4. Major/National level working groups is much more active online
5. The smaller the group, the more it shows interest in organising
demos within its local area
6. Level of effort put on lobbying decision makers and local media
advocacy is less than other areas of work
7. No sign for organising online campaigns
8. The online activity level/volume of materials posted, does not always
represent the effort carried out offline/on-ground
9. The mission and organisational nature of the groups decide their
work priorities; towards focusing on decision makers lobbying or on
streets demonstrations organising
