Bigger Ripples for Your Local Advocacy

I spent Saturday in the company of nearly 200 individuals who are committed to social change - and came home energized! The occasion was the 7th annual conference, at U-Mass Boston, of the Organizer's Collaborative, a non-profit association of tech wizards - and the rest of us who work in the trenches for social justice, the environment, and other causes.

The combination of brain power, technical imagination, and activists produced a real high - a vision that by using the Internet to pull in the many people who CARE about the Taunton River - but may not know WHY they are needed or HOW to help - we will SAVE THE TAUNTON!

For those of you who are already on line reading this and want to know how to help, please visit our page called "The Ripple Effect" at Campaign.SaveTheTaunton.org website.

I've started a list of awesome Web 2.0 tools that you can see at my "del.icio.us" page of links: http://del.icio.us/TauntonWatershedCampaign
