Movements.Org - Empowering Citizen Activism

Recent events across the Middle East have once again showcased the tremendous power of engaged citizen activists to leverage social media to affect positive change. We've already written on this blog about the wealth of informative and poignant footage posted on YouTube from Egyptian protests, but we also wanted to let you know about a great new site that helps empower citizen activists.

Movements.Org, launched officially yesterday, is a hub for politically-engaged citizens to connect as well as a place to learn all of the tools in the activist toolkit. Check out the great video explaining the organization's mission below, and visit the site to learn more.
