    2323As part of this campaign, we have made tremendous progress with the following priorities:
    2424
    25  * ***Target groups under threat and communities of color*** - Not only have the convergences intentionally put people of color and women in leadership roles, but May First/People Link has also played an instrumental role in developing a network of techies of color which met at the Highlander Center in May. The ideas behind the Technology and Revolution campaign played a large role in the gathering and promises to continue influencing this critical work
    26  * ***Story-based approaches to education on technology use*** - all convergences start with a pop corn exercise that encourages visioning the future we want, and encouraging a broad narrative approach to developing strategy
    27  * ***Improve participation of MF/PL members and deepen political development based on realities in each center*** - through the Technology and Revolution campaign, the gathering at Highlander, and our continued participation in the Media Action Grassroots Network, we have developed critical new relationships with members and seen new leadership arise within the LC.
