Twitter Town Hall

Twitter Town Hall: Aug. 28, 8 p.m. ET with colorful speech bubbles asking questions about Twitter: Are you staying or going? Can we build community? Who profits? Is staying supporting hate speech?
Yes to social media, no to Twitter

Ending Racism USA announced our decision to quit Twitter, now called X, as an act to resist its inappropriate use of social media which includes allowing and profiting from hate speech and using our data for free.

Our Twitter Town Hall discussed why it is important to heighten our awareness of the benefits and the challenges that may arise as society increases its use of various social media platforms.

Videos and resources are shared on this page.
