Asked them if they were the PM for the HfLA Project, explained that ATD needs to send out a screener survey to community activists, and whether or not they had specific people in mind to whom we could send our survey.
Responses:
On the Research meeting (07/1272022) Sara, Aparna, Mariana and Hannah discussed the need to expand the spreadsheet with the NGO contacts to send the survey.
@mxajPrice @lrchang2
Could one of you please send out our recruitment message on Twitter like how you did with the Data Expert screener survey? See the resources/instructions for the text. Thank you!
Working Notes for @Aparna1Gopal
Expand Community Activist Recruitment Database– Extract names from Liberty Hill Project (https://www.libertyhill.org/how-we-work/grantmaking/rising-activists/) , Add name of Non-profit to the Spreadsheet- Email the contact person from ATD’s website with Screener Survey – Wait for response – Dual purpose of: Expanding the recruitment database and also outreach for potential interview participants
@bradyse the recruitment message is long for twitter and will have to be split into a chain of tweets if we want to keep all the content. consider revising to be shorter?
@lrchang2, how does this work for you? I shortened it to 280 characters.
Are you a Community Activist? Access the Data team is looking for community-minded people to interview to learn more about accessibility to city data. This 2-min survey will be used to gain insights for building out an easy-to-navigate website. https://forms.gle/tUAAj53DhRKS6cMM6
@bradyse that works! do you want to add an @ to the Hack for LA twitter or a hashtag for better reach? We have 11 characters to do that example below if we add '@ hackforla'
@lrchang2 Yes, if it fits, then I would be in favor of that. Thank you so much!

Currently working on this recruitment and outreach https://github.com/hackforla/access-the-data/issues/193#issuecomment-1182819806
Will also reach out to ATD's PMs and UXR Lead to request for ATD's Facebook account, such that outreach could be carried out via Facebook in addition to the more traditional path of email to reach the grassroots community activists.

Using the resources/non-profits identified in https://www.libertyhill.org/organizations/ for outreach
Also came across this website: polywork.com. This seemed to have some members interested in community activism. Since I am not certain how this webpage works, will be doing some in-depth research on it. Will also be using this for outreach in the upcoming weeks if it works as a viable tool for research participant outreach.

Since other UXRs are working on social media strategy for outreach (LinkedIn, Twitter), currently using Access the Data email for outreach.
Expanded database by adding potential community activists. Some community advocates seemed to preferred Twitter, will explore this in the coming days in addition to Email as an outreach strategy from my end.
@lrchang2 Could you please Tweet our recruitment message to the people listed on our Spreadsheet working for 'Alliance for Community Transit – Los Angeles'. They have only Twitter listed as their contact and their handles are documented in the spreadsheet (Listed under: Director roles and Mid-level roles). Many thanks!

Notes:
@hannahsgr @Aparna1Gopal
Based on the UX All-Team meeting on 09/21/2022 and feedback from PMs: the Action Items have been updated to reflect a start and end task to this issue, instead of keeping it as an ongoing, ever-expanding database issue (as it was initially scoped/planned by prior researchers working on this recruitment project since April'22)
Notes: From @Aparna1Gopal
Slack message communication: To Mariana M and Hannah S: We just got a community advocate sign-up on our Calendly for a user interview! The participant has signed up for September 22nd, so we need to scramble to prep for the interview! I am sending you both a private message with the details, for data privacy! CC: Lucy C, ajPrice, Bailey K
Update: The participant does not fit into the community advocate persona we are currently seeking. Based on feedback from UXR Lead and team, we have decided to pass on this one.
Notes:
Outreach and recruitment email sent to 5 community advocates
Expanded and recorded the details of the community advocates in the database (spreadsheet)
Notes:
Spoke to Sara B (UXR Lead TWE'22/ Internship Project, & ATD Alumni) regarding community network she may know in Nebraska. Will confirm with PMs during this week's team meeting and if this network (outside Los Angeles) is okayed, will sent our recruitment message to Sara B via email.

Based on meeting with PM Lucy C on October 13, 2022 this is being closed.
The project is currently pivoting in a new direction based on the current requirements of Access the Data. This includes ATD’s Website redesign based on CKAN incorporation and pivoting from the prior education modules model
The personas (data expert and community activist) were developed during the education modules iteration of the project. The idea of creating a database of a research participant pool of data experts and community activists were also formulated during this stage of the project.
UX Researchers (prior & current) working on this issue have utilized multiple methods for outreach and recruiting research participants: including internal HfLA Slack, external Slack groups, Twitter, Email, cold calling etc. with links to Calendly for interview sign-up
UX Researchers (prior & current) working on this issue have also expanded the database of potential community advocates & data experts over the course of 6+ months.
With the current restructuring of the team and the vision for the ATD website moving forward, LinkedIn poll is being used as a new strategy for participant recruitment https://github.com/hackforla/access-the-data/issues/229. This will also be used as a strategy to conduct new generative research to identify other persona types who will be potential users of ATD website & CKAN.
The important details from this issue will be transferred to ATD’s Wiki by the PMs.
Overview
We need to expand the community advocate recruitment to get people to complete the screener survey and/or sign-up for the (one-on-one, in-depth,qualitative) Interviews
We need to recruit 5 research participants (community advocates) to assess the needs and pain points of this persona as we re-design the website based on CKAN
