The CODE-U Program
The New Jersey State AFL-CIO has created a cutting-edge program called CODE-U (Committee on Digital Empowerment — Union) to provide coordinated messaging for affiliates to use on their social media networks.
The concept is simple: We provide sample messages for use by affiliates, everyone follows a simple weekly schedule, and together we create a massive online political education echo chamber.
Here’s the schedule for you to send CODE-U Messaging to your members:
Monday — eMail | Tuesday — Text | Wednesday — Website content | Thursday — Tweet | Friday — Facebook
