The Progressives desperately need an online information resource with centralized links and resources for organizing resistance nationwide. I haven’t found one yet.
- It cannot be FaceBook centric because FB pages are monitored by prospective employers, and whoever else.
- It must be more than just petitions and a donate button.
- Needs to aggregate actions/event state by state and city by city — almost like Craigslist.
- Needs to be crowdsourced, with some moderation to screen out the trolls.
- Needs to aggregate content and not disappear within a couple of hours.
I’ve been looking online to see who is doing what. Many groups exist, but few are actually doing anything beyond publishing articles and fundraising.
Here are the best activist resources I’ve found so far — a limited list. If you have other additions, please contribute. And do it fast before this diary disappears below the scroll bar.
