Hive Slack
One message away from 2500+ animal advocates
The Hive Community was originally launched to fill a gap: the animal advocacy movement lacked a global, inclusive, and interactive space where contributors could easily share knowledge, find opportunities, and have in-depth discussions.
We chose to host on Slack, a popular digital workplace platform commonly used by businesses and organizations. Our goal is to create an atmosphere that promotes meaningful collaboration and coordination among advocates, as if we were all part of one strong, unified organization. We believe this can substantially bolster the effectiveness and growth of the movement.
Our members have found value in many of the features, including the ability to send direct messages, meet other advocates for one-on-one virtual coffee chats, create specialized channels, and integrate time-saving automations.
We’ve been building out the Slack infrastructure to continue to serve our community with decision-relevant information. To do this, we’ve created a serious of Slack feed bots:
