Search Online for Examples of Web Based Community Organizing
Have students search for online examples of organizing on a particular issue. For example, a brief search on homelessness
revealed the following:
National Coalition for the Homeless - http://www.nationalhomeless.org/
Homeless People's Network Discussion List - http://aspin.asu.edu/hpn/ http://www.njstatelib.org/cyberdesk/
Homeless People and the Internet - http://bmdavidson.tripod.com/
(The above web site was developed on a free web space provider)
Organizations in the United Kingdom - http://www.shelter.org.uk/
http://www.crisis.org.uk/
The internet eliminates geographic boundaries in student research just as it removes geographic barriers to community organizing.
