Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) Twitter Bot
RETROSPECTIVE DIGEST
A project aimed to connect people to organizations, groups, and other individuals , who otherwise would be missed by traditional invitations to advocacy, so they can be part of resolutions for issues that are important to them.
Problem
People who would benefit from advocacy often don't have the bandwidth to engage in full time advocacy
DEFINITIONS
When issues negatively impact people and communities, two different types of anger occur:
Cold Anger
Slow burning, leading to greater change
Hot Anger

This Bot is based on Hot Anger.
There's no time to do something long-term, but a post about the issue in the moment can get traction.
