We are discussing the issue of cyberbullying. If we as a group were to demand change or even spread awareness about cyberbullying, we would tackle the issue as follows:

• Create YouTube videos to shed light on the consequences of cyberbullying
• Use social media platforms to develop open conversations — create anti-cyberbullying Facebook page; blast likers with links to our YouTube videos, thus linking our activity on Facebook and YouTube; keep supporters up-to-date with stories in the media about cyberbullying; encourage supporters to share pertinent posts/info/stories
• Encourage people to police their own communities and call out cyberbullies
• Find voices of authority to help us spread our message and speak to those most vulnerable to cyberbullying
• Contact our respective representatives requesting changes in laws regarding cyberbullying
• Create an email list and/or newsletter to keep all of our supporters in the loop about our activities

Using the above communication tools have the benefits of being open and that one trait we would emphasize. We want our social media and communication tools to be able to expose and condemn those who engage in cyber bullying activities. In order to organize our efforts in the days before the web, we would have to advertise and mail out pamphlets to spread awareness.
