The frisking the other week of Somali athletes made big news, but little conversation on Minneapolis Issues: http://webserv5.startribune.com:80/stOnLine/cgi-bin/article?thisSlug=SOMA02&date=02-Jul-2001 I understand that the Somali community is well wired and communicates with its Diaspora around the world. As part of E-Democracy's "New Voices" effort we need your help to build the diversity of participants on our forums geographically, generationally, and culturally. Would you like to help with our outreach in this area? Can you either send us complete contact information on people to contact in the Somali and other growing immigrant communities or take it on yourself to get them to visit <http://www.e-democracy.org/mpls> and have them sign-up. If you really want someone to join, sit with them at a computer and walk them through the sign-up. (If you can, help them set up a filter so the messages go to a specific folder and offer yourself as an e-mentor.)
