Join us July 30-August 3, 2001 in TechSoup's Community at <http://www.techsoup.org/weekly.cfm?fileboard&mb5769408680110453>. Does your organization need to find simple and effective ways to turn citizens into activists? Do you know when to mobilize online activists versus working offline? What are the best techniques for connecting with your local community via Internet outreach? Discuss how to use interactive tools such as message boards, chat, and email to promote your agenda, advocate for your issues, and mobilize your constituency. Topics Include: *email petitions: do they work or not? *updates: inform constituents about urgent issues. *legislation: turn online activism into real-world change. This event at <http://www.techsoup.org/weekly.cfm?fileboard&mb5769408680110453> is hosted and moderated by Hilary Naylor of CompuMentor, TechSoup's parent organization <http://www.compumentor.org>. Expert guests include Steve Clift of http://www.publicus.net and Ed Schwartz of http://phillyneighborhoods.org, and the author of "NetActivism," the bible of online activism. Following the week-long event, TechSoup will archive the ongoing discussion in its Virtual Community Forum on its message boards. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Kristin Rothballer, Outreach Manager CompuMentor, 487 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94107 Voice: 415.512.7784 x339 Fax: 415.365.2870 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.compumentor.org Bringing people and technology together to strengthen our communities http://www.techsoup.org Technology served the way nonprofits need it / powered by CompuMentor ------- End of forwarded message ------- ^ ^ ^ ^ Steven L.
