This is such a wonderful Web site because it enables everyday citizens to become activists. You may want to take a stand on an issue and may not feel like marching or coming into contact with anyone. ColorofChange.org allows you to have your wish and become an activist right from the comfort of your own home.
I've been a member almost since their beginning, and I love it! I stay informed on all of the infringements of justice and do my part as an American citizen. They recognize the fact that most people believe in "strength in numbers," and that is just what they allow us to have.
One of their most famous campaigns was when rapper Nas delivered a petition with tens of thousands of signatures to Fox News, calling them out for their racist views and "sly" attacks on President Obama and his wife. More recently, they collected over 40,000 signatures to deliver to Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal to urge him to accept all of Louisiana's portion of the stimulus money.
Go on their site and read some of the campaigns--- I guarantee you that you'll want to get involved and become a member. Talk about history in the making...this is activism at your fingertips! Thanks ColorofChange!!!
