Again, during the civil rights movement there was no social media and mainstream media.

You use personal outreach and then you build up from there. There are church networks, civil groups, advocacy groups etc

Which are now largely dependent on social media and the like to reach people.

Church's somewhat less so because they do have services that people physically go to. Most campaign and advocacy groups work online, and for some social media is their main focus. They have to go where people are.
