There really isn’t much out there on the web to inspire or equip people when it comes to taking social action. Oh, wait; yes, there actually is. We live at a time in which access to cause-related information is exploding. We’re asking the next question: can action be as combustible?
Here are some links: magazines, organizations, blogs, schools, and resources for people who are trying to create positive change. There are also a few places to sign petitions or give money to quality social ventures. Add your favorite website as a comment at the bottom, and we’ll put it in the directory. Unless it’s rubbish.
So click the day away—until you find the thing that will challenge your hands to do more than click.
