Blog 3

Im focusing this blog on the information I gained from my questioning of Grainne Griffin, co- director of ‘Together for Yes’, an abortions rights campaign group which campaigned successfully for a Yes vote in the 2018 referendum to rafity the Eighth Amendments constitutional ban on abortion in Ireland

These are the questions I asked Grainne

1.what platforms did you use when campaigning for Together for Yes?

2. Which platforms worked the best?

3. What strategies did you use to get maximum online engagement for Together for Yes?

4. Comment on the impact of online activist movements on creating political change in today’s world?

This is what Grainne had to say

Key findings from my questions.

“The internet was critical to the repeal of the eighth amendment”.

Different online platforms meet different needs for different audiences.
