If you’re active on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Linked-in, YouTube, and/or other social media …
21st Century WILPF US is reaching out to you! We urge you to contact us by emailing et@prop1.org.
A few WILPF members have been posting to @WILPFUS Facebook, Twitterand YouTube for several years now, providing information about upcoming events, reporting on past ones, and sharing news of significance for WILPF projects. We invite you to join us and get involved in expanding our outreach to the online world!
WILPF’s most interactive Facebook site is WILPF SMARTwhere subscribers can post and Facebook users can read and comment. You’re invited to scroll through existing posts, and encouraged to subscribe and start posting!
There are other social media platforms that we haven’t yet tapped into which are popular with young folks, such as Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest. We hope you (or your kids or grandkids) will join WILPF’s social media team and help spread WILPF’s messages!
We especially invite you to check out WILPF’s YouTube channel, and explore the many videos that are organized into playlists. Below, see the number of videos associated with each topic:
- 12 ONE WILPF Calls (including the August 18 Report-Back on the WILPF International Congress)

PLEASE share ideas, subscribe to WILPF SMART and the WILPF US YouTube channel, and volunteer for the social media team! If you feel like you don’t know enough to volunteer but would like to learn, be sure to watch the training videos posted on the WILPF US YouTube playlist Social Media Trainings. If you find other trainings that you think should be saved to this playlist, please let me know (Ellen Thomas et@prop1.org).
P.S. – What do you think about WILPF US forming an ad hoc Communications Committee? The committee would meet periodically to review outreach via eNews, YouTube and other social media platforms, and other communications in WILPF. Would you like to volunteer to join us? Contact me at et@prop1.org.
