The Virtual Activist
http://www.netaction.org/training/
The Internet is a powerful tool that allows us to expand our networks
by identifying and communicating with like-minded people anywhere in
the world. It enables us to disseminate information widely, cheaply,
and instantaneously. Although you'll need some special skills to
build and maintain a Web site, email is easily mastered even if you
have little or no technical expertise. If you can read and write and
your computer has a modem, you can be a Virtual Activist!
With its blinking graphics, streaming video, and interactive
capabilities, the Web gets a lot more attention than plain old text-
based email. But don't let email's simplicity fool you. For activists
and nonprofit organizations engaged in advocacy, email is the tool of
choice.
In this virtual classroom, NetAction will teach you how to use email
and the Web as effective, inexpensive, and efficient tools for
organizing, outreach, and advocacy
