Citizen Sites
Care2.com is the world's largest activist site, with over 5.5 million subscribers. No matter your issue, they are probably a member of Care 2. It is a way for people to get active and see what other activist organizations are doing. Think of it as a commune for activist groups.
Seventy.org works to make government more efficient, fair and transparent. It is a bi-partisan way for you to monitor elections and campaigns. See how you can help them increase voter turnout and make sure our government is as clean and effective as it can be.
Fundrace is a great site to see where political contributions come from based on geography. You can see neighborhood-by-neighborhood where political contributions come from and who they are going to. If you're ever trying to have a House Party to raise grassroots money for a cause or candidate, this is a great tool.
Nifty Fifty States Is a great resource. Not only can you learn fun facts about our great country it is also a good tool for activism. If you wanted to take action in a state that you were not familiar with, this is a great resource. For example, you live in Arkansas, but want to contact government officials in Montana, this is the place to go.
Citizens Against Government Waste tells you where your tax dollars are being wasted. I often look at it to see where pork can be cut to find money for things that I believe to be a priority.
BuyBlue.org allows consumers to vote with their wallets! See how companies have been rated on support to the environment and other issues and values that are important to you. Let's put our money where our mouth is!
One.org is the Campaign to make poverty history. Sign the declaration, get informed, check out the action section for what you can do now to make a difference, and get involved in your local community.
The Human Rights Watch dedicates itself to protecting the human rights of people around the world. At this site, they post many articles, ways to take actions and recent reports. Especially important is their Crisis in Darfur section. Also check out Amnesty International.
UNICEF (the United Nations Children's Fund) helps save, protect and improve the lives of children around the world. Your contribution can help them immunize, educate, and help provide health care and clean water to more kids.
