It’s not just about phone calls and emails - our senators need to hear from us on social media, and we need to build momentum to make sure we confirm fair-minded judges to our courts. 

How to Use Social Media For Fair Courts

Be tight and consistent with your messaging. Millions of social media posts are sent every day. It’s hard to break through individually - but it’s easier if we act as a movement. Use the resources organizations and movements you trust are putting together to help amplify our support for confirming fair-minded judges social media platforms. 

Tag your senators. It’s important to be in those notifications! Tag them on Twitter (or Twitter alternative), post to their Facebook pages, tag them and comment on their Instagram pages. If you don’t tag your senator, the likelihood that they ever see your message is slim to none. 

Use a consistent hashtag. Bring in the full power and momentum of the movement to your digital conversation with your senators. Using the right hashtags gives senators, their staff, and other people in the movement the ability to track and join in the conversation. Right now, we’re using #CourtsMatter.

Use existing trends. Work with the algorithms, not against them. Find creative ways to use trends to your advantage to talk about the courts. 

Video is key. Across nearly every social media platform, video is prioritized over any other type of content. So get creative! Add some motion to your graphics and export them as videos. Record a Tiktok or Reel about the nominee in your hometown. Post footage of one of the nominees giving a great answer during their hearing. Record footage of your dog and talk about fair courts in the voiceover. It all works!
