“Trust in Tech here! We just recorded an episode with our very own David Jay - on how to build a movement!
It seems everyday we are pulled in different directions on social media. However, what we are feeling seldom resonates. Enter David Jay! A master in building movements including leading it for the Center Humane Technology. In this episode, we will learn precisely how to build a movement, and why communities are perpetually underfunded.
David Jay is an advisor of the Integrity Institute and played a pivotal role in the early days of the Institute. He is also currently the founder of Relationality Labs which hopes to make the impact of relational organizing visible so that organizers can be resourced for the strategic value that they create. In the past, he has had a diverse range of experiences, including founding asexuality.org, and as chief mobilization officer for the Center for Humane Technology.
