Monthly Meeting February 2022
27th February 2022
The November 2021 Monthly Meeting was held online on Wednesday 2nd February 2022, with about 90 members in attendance via Zoom.
Guest segment: Zero to One Million Hits in 14 Days
A discussion with Sue Barrett and Jobst Schmalenbach around their experience launching and securing an activism website that was successful beyond all expectation. Hosted by David Stonier-Gibson
When you set up an activism website off the back of community outrage and get 1M hits on day 14 from set-up, you know that the website is likely to be a big target for those who disagree with your cause. So, the right hardware, website performance and security become a big deal. Join Sue Barrett and Jobst Schmalenbach as David Stonier-Gibson discusses with them their roles and lessons learned in activism website build, performance, messaging and security as part of the March4Justice team. The website rallied 110,000+ people in 200 locations around Australia in under 14 days on 15 March 2021. They will also share their work as two of the founding members of Voices of Goldstein, a grass-roots movement focused on better representative democracy in Australia, and their work on ZoeDaniel.com.au, the community-backed independent candidate for Goldstein.
