I intend to focus on the Interactive part of the festival so focus on my political activism concerning digital literacy and digital rights and AI.

=== Assistant: Got it. ===
Got it. Here’s a clean, application-ready creator statement tailored to SXSW Interactive, centered on digital literacy, digital rights, and AI activism—sharp and strategic like you prefer, and aligned with your pivot into AI-driven civic tech in Austin.

You can paste this directly into long-form fields such as Bio, Creator Statement, Mission, or Why You’re a Fit for SXSW Interactive.

===== Carl Webb is an Austin-based digital rights and AI-literacy activist and content creator focused on closing the new digital divide. His work sits at the intersection of technology access, worker empowerment, and public-sector transformation. Drawing on years of federal service (IRS and elections systems) and movement organizing, Carl now leads narratives around digital literacy as a civil right, algorithmic transparency, and equitable access to AI tools. =====

For SXSW Interactive, Carl brings:
* Campaign-driven media that moves audiences to action on digital rights and AI access
* Community-rooted storytelling from Austin tech-equity networks including ACC micro-credential AI upskilling pathways
* Movement infrastructure thinking to scale digital literacy beyond slogans into measurable civic outcomes
* Future-forward AI advocacy framed through labor equity, public accountability, and human rights

His content and activism focus on:
* AI literacy as the next frontline of digital rights
* Zero-click platforms, algorithmic power, and civic autonomy
* Tech access, workforce equity, and community resilience
* Rights frameworks for emerging AI systems
* Mobilizing workers, organizers, and creators to fight for open, fair, and accessible technology

Carl is a fit for SXSW Interactive because he treats technology as movement terrain, not consumer spectacle. His mission isn’t abstract: it’s to equip communities and workers with the literacy and rights they need before automation rewrites the rules without them at the table.

===== These ideas lean on Interactive participation rather than passive panels: =====
# AI for the People: Building Digital Power, Not Digital Dependence A hands-on session teaching audiences to evaluate algorithmic bias, platform incentives, and AI access gaps using real civic examples.
# The New Digital Divide: From Internet Access to AI Fluency Interactive workshop mapping community skill gaps (similar to your ACC AI micro-credential path) into real engagement challenges and movement responses.
# Rights by Design: Crafting Digital & AI Rights Frameworks for Civic Tech A co-creation experience where participants draft principles for algorithmic transparency, data rights, and AI literacy protections.
# Workers vs Automation: Organizing for AI Access & Accountability A collaborative strategy session where creators and organizers build campaign narratives and engagement hooks to push digital literacy and AI rights into mass adoption.

===== Carl Webb is an Austin-based digital literacy and digital rights activist and AI-access advocate creating movement-driven media and interactive learning experiences that future-proof workers and communities against the next digital divide. =====

If you want, next I can generate:

==== Channel & Format Details ====

===== Facebook =====
* Role: Town square engagement, accessible tone, immediate reactions.
* Formats: Live Notes, quote cards, polls, community questions, 1 short Live if energy allows.
* Killer hooks: “Innovation just showed us the next divide isn’t access to the internet—it's access to agency.” “Who owns the algorithm owns the public. Let’s talk about it.”

===== LinkedIn =====
* Role: Credibility + network growth + policy framing.
* Formats: Mini-essays (4–6 lines), session takeaways, labor/AI rights lens, strategic CTAs.
* CTA model: Follow for daily Innovation Conference breakdowns through the lens of digital literacy and AI rights.

===== Instagram =====
* Role: Visual learning + short attention + shareability.
* Formats: Stories (morning teasers), carousels (session breakdowns), 18–30s Reels (no forced colors; clean layouts when you build later).
* Story cadence: 3–5 slides per day: Session → Insight → Stakes → Your take → CTA

===== Substack =====
* Role: Deep authority, analytical, forward-thinking, movement-oriented.
* Cadence: 4 posts in 7 days (Mar 12, 14, 16, 18).
* Post themes: Governance, dependency, labor futures, platform power, AI fluency as rights.

==== Topic Angles You Must Keep Center Frame (Innovation Track) ====
# Human Control vs Runaway AI → rights vacuum, power concentration, governance gaps.
# AI Fluency vs AI Dependence → literacy over offloading, empowerment over consumption.
# Robotics & Labor Futures → workers organizing around access, agency, and transition.
# Algorithmic Transparency → digital rights 3.0, civic autonomy, platform incentives.
# The New Digital Divide → from broadband access to AI fluency access.

==== Editorial Rules (for yourself when posting) ====
* No fluff. No futurism hype without stakes.
* Every post must answer: Who gains power? Who loses agency? What rights are missing? What do we do next?
* CTAs should be movement verbs, not passive invites: Share, Follow, Subscribe, Debate, Build, Organize.

==== Ready-to-paste “Detailed Content Plan” (for the form) ====

You can drop this paragraph into the application field asking for your plan:

: I will cover SXSW Innovation Conference sessions (March 12–18, 2026) through the lens of digital literacy, digital rights, labor equity, and AI governance. Coverage will be distributed across Facebook (live notes, polls, and quote cards for community debate), LinkedIn (policy-forward professional insights to grow organizer and technologist networks), Instagram (Reels, Stories, and carousels translating session stakes into accessible movement media), and Substack (long-form analysis framing AI fluency as a civil and labor right). Core topics include human control vs runaway AI, augmentation vs dependency, humanoid robotics and worker futures, algorithmic transparency, and the emerging AI-driven digital divide. Each post will close with clear civic stakes and movement-oriented CTAs to drive engagement and subscriptions.

If you want, next I can generate:
* A single 2-page portfolio PDF text in platypus format (draft only, not generated yet)
* Post templates for each platform
* Substack headlines + essay outlines

Just say the number.
