Empowering change: The role of social media in policy change

Social media has become one of the most powerful tools for civic engagement and political change—but how do we move from posts to policy? In this fireside chat, digital strategy leaders will explore how online storytelling, grassroots organizing, and platform-based activism can shape legislation, mobilize communities, and shift public discourse. Through real-world examples and behind-the-scenes insights, this conversation will unpack what works, what doesn’t, and what it takes to turn influence into impact. This event is part of the Center for Health Communication’s Creators Summit on Mental Health.
Lunch will be served.
Speakers will share their own perspectives; they do not speak for Harvard.
