Erica Hanna’s Tools for the Advocacy Work That Doesn’t Make the News

---

Hi Reader,
​

Not everyone will be in the streets today.

The backbone of every movement is the people working behind the scenes. Calling their representatives. Educating their neighbors. Capturing, documenting and sharing information at the right moment.

If your role right now is to be a resource for the people you love, here are some tools from She Leads AI Society member and AI leader Erica Hanna to help them stay informed and stay safe:

• ​Why facts don’t break through to his die-hard fans​
  ​The psychology of propaganda — why facts alone don’t land, and what’s actually driving belief. Share this with anyone trying to understand why the people they love aren’t listening.

• ​Media Literacy Lesson 1: Who owns the news?​
  A sharp, practical lesson on how to evaluate your news sources — who owns them, and what they stand to gain.
  ​
• ​HELP: Here is what you can do today.
  Two urgent, concrete actions you can take right now. Practical. Specific. No overwhelm.
  ​
• ​How to record an ICE encounter so it holds up in court.​
  If someone in your community is being detained, knowing how to document it correctly can matter in court. Erica walks through exactly what to do.

​
Share what feels right.
​
Warmly,

She Leads AI
