Up With North Carolina’s Political Discussion
DemCast North Carolina covers progressive politics in North Carolina, including voter registration, turnout and GOTV campaigns. The service harnesses digital tools and social platforms “to maximize the connectivity, coordination and impact of the grassroots activist community.” Activists have “their fingers on the pulse of local elections and political issues,” DemCast explains, and the service provides a much-needed outlet to get stories out. DemCast solicits grassroots groups in North Carolina to publish content on their site at no charge. Their partner invitation explains the service they provide to organizations. They also invite the publication of articles and calendar events. Finally, they have created a series of training videos on organizing skills and on using social media effectively.
