Wednesday Panel: Web2.0 Activist Model Case Studies
This Wednesday I’m speaking at what will be a very interesting event in Williamsburg hosted and organized by the fine folks at The Change You Want To See Gallery. Deanna Zandt, Nancy Scola and I will be discussing our personal experiences and insights gained through our work with applying new technology to a variety of causes and movements in 2008.
Hope to see you there!
