Home / Projects / Activist

Viselli uses her social media expertise in her professional life as well as in her second life as a political and social activist. She increasingly devotes her time to Twitter activism and with her partners, just launched TweetProgress, a directory of progressives on Twitter built around the use of the #p2 hashtag, of which she is the co-founder. She was a member of the Twitter Vote Report team that used the microsharing tool Twitter as a strategy in election protection efforts during the 2008 election. Viselli also worked with a number of activists on the Voter Suppression Wiki, a resource for journalists, activists, and citizens interested in election protection efforts.

  • Outreach for WomenCount in support of a Presidential Commission on Women
  • Boycott of the Democratic Presidential Primary Debate in Reno hosted by Fox News
  • Campaign to license all presidential primary debate television coverage under Creative Commons
  • Associated Press boycott over free use issues
