great to look into this… quick for James: To unsubscribe from Avaaz emails, send a blank email to [email protected] or click here.
Aavaz campaings i come across are important, seem correctly communicated, I didn't see the one you mention. I think these guys trying it one way… american way… not sure… ? I mean they just got really hurt re Aaron Schwartz (many peole of them are friends with, as I understand ? sumofus.org for instance) I would like to talk about avaaz.org I would be interested to hear if anybody has experince running an Avaaz campaign ? I am thinking to run one against the nuclear power plant plans up north Finland in the middle of nowhere. Any recommendations how to organize a signature campaign ? And yes all that graphic design and interfaces and cloud based services make look everything look like promotion, I just felt the same when we were making a blog with wordpress for our activist camp, all looked like promotion. Terrible. its an important question.
