As candidates, campaigns and causes struggle to find a way to reach voters during the Covid-19 emergency digital-first tools like Facebook Live, Zoom House Parties and virtual phone banks have replaced traditional face-to-face campaigning.
In the first days of the coronavirus pandemic these digital tools built organic audiences of some size. But as the emergency has continued, the sad reality of Facebook Live events attended by a candidate, her manager and maybe her spouse have become all too common.

Thanks and stay safe.
