What would it look like if social movements had the same level of engagement and support as the world’s biggest entertainers? Adam Met, climate advocate, educator, and member of the multi-platinum band AJR, gained firsthand experience growing an audience from the ground up as the band progressed from playing in living rooms to selling out arenas. Now, Met hopes to provide a blueprint for increasing activism and building support for the causes you care about.
With award-winning journalist Heather Landy, Met offers strategies on how to apply fan-building principles to social movements.
