Ah facebook, (aka ‘crackbook’,), that online social networking phenomena that now boasts 80 million users worldwide. Sure some of us resisted for a while but those invites started banking up and we caved (mia culpa). For those of us who are seeking to use it a forum for positive social transformation here’s an intro to facebook activism:

DigiActive intro to Facebook Activism. It includes pros and cons, organising and advice, and case studies (such as “Support the Monks” in support of protests in Burma).

 For those interested “Empowering Peacemakers in Your Community” facebook group can be found here

And if you want to keep in the loop or view photos from the Peace Tree Community and my happenings they can be found here

But it’s important to remember that ‘virtual’ is never quiet real and that goes for activism as well as friends. :)
