Abstract
This article explores the use of digital technologies by North Carolina teacher activists during the 2020 elections. Online research revealed these activists utilized digital technologies largely for two purposes: 1.) to perform public pedagogy to educate voters, and 2.) to mobilize voters to support pro-public education candidates. This article describes and analyzes several highly visible and/or innovative practices within these two categories. Teacher activists’ use of digital media to adapt to COVID-19 is also discussed.
