Group Forming and Grassroots Organizing Technology
- Zack Rosen | CivicSpace Foundation
The internet enables radically more effective means of bottom up grassroots organizing. The Dean Campaign and MoveOn are early examples of what is possible when citizens are empowered through web-technology to seize responsibility and self-organize around common goals. In this session we will examine what the needs of these grassroots groups are and what the future of the technology to support them will be.
