"You could also hook up with people in a brigade in your area," says Willington. The channel worked in all directions: Brown's staff could reach his supporters, his supporters could respond to him, and supporters could find one another to organize. The golden moment? The campaign raised $1.3 million in just one day by publicizing a fundraising blitz using those social platforms, well surpassing their goal...
