Networks

A network is one group a volunteer can reach. It can be a group text, a Facebook group, a church, or a neighborhood. Each network is online or in person. It has a size, which is the total number of people in it, and two short descriptions written by the volunteer: who is in it, and what it talks about. Networks are the foundation of everything else in Echo. A campaign reaches a volunteer through a network, and the results come back tied to networks. Small trusted networks often matter more than large ones, because a message from someone people know travels further than the same message from a stranger.

A person at the center connected to several groups, split into digital networks like group chats and feeds and in-person networks like neighbors and a congregation.

You own your networks. You add them and you edit them. Your organizer and your admins can see your networks to plan campaigns. They cannot change them.
