The Virtual Activist

The Virtual Activist is a great civic engagement tool for progressive homeschoolers seeking to deepen their level of community involvement politically or socially

From the website:

The Internet is a powerful tool that allows us to expand our networksby 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 interactivecapabilities, 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 emailand the Web as effective, inexpensive, and efficient tools for organizing, outreach, and advocacy.
