Tweet for Peace. #PeaceDay21Sep

One of the reasons I have such a soft spot for nonprofits and social media is that social media allows anyone to make an impact. Many people feel their efforts are insignificant if they don’t have enough money or enough time. Not with social media! Helping a nonprofit spread its mission and encourage others to take action is making an impact without opening your wallet. It’s legit.

My radar is always on to see how nonprofits are leveraging social media. There are many causes and a great deal of outreach needed and with the amount of clutter online, it can be challenging to gain attention.When I see campaigns containing simple and uncomplicated copy and little effort, my radar goes BAZINGA!

I’d like to share with you this creative and meaningful campaign for Peace Day, which is Sept. 21. Every year Peace Day’s goal is to reserve a day of non-violence and global truce. A Lap Around the World

Use your social media tools for social good:

• Tweet with #PeaceDay21Sep and add your impact to the map.
• Encourage your fans on Twitter and Facebook.
• Make a video about why peace is important to you and use #PeaceDay21Sep.
• Write a blog post.
• Add #PeaceDay21Sep to your email signature
• Create a “peace” board on Pinterest and use #PeaceDay21Sep in your pins’ descriptions.

Don’t feel obligated to do any of the above. This post’s purpose what to share a campaign that caught my interest and offer ways to get involved if you were interested. Enjoy!
