Storytelling on social media has become a powerful tool to shift public narratives in the movement to end mass criminalization. However, if misused, improper storytelling runs the risk of perpetuating narratives that reinforce, rather than work to dismantle, the criminal justice system. To avoid this, this guide offers tips to organizers and advocates who are using social media to broadly critique the criminal punishment system, including through the use of storytelling about individual cases or people, in order to build power and to bring about changes that lessen its size, scope, and reach.
