First Post Live on CauseCast.org

imageI recently joined CauseCast’s blogging team, and my first contribution was published Friday. Their site is going through a fab redesign (I checked it out at the Santa Monica offices they share with Mahalo before I left LA!) and soon you’ll see a lot of great blogging from inspired young people based on the most important issues of the day. In my debut I wrote about my favorite do-gooder groups on Twitter, featuring tips from my one of my favorite activists, Jon Pincus.

“As an activist and advocate for progressive causes, I do my best to stay informed, seek out diverse opinions and participate in online and offline initiatives. Twitter has proven to be a hub where all of these things are possible. Most of my favorite news outlets and individual reporters have a feed, so in one capacity it serves as an RSS reader. Beyond that, it’s a networking opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals interested in furthering the causes you care about. One of the most exciting aspects is that this often naturally results in bipartisan collaboration because people rally around the issues they are passionate about as opposed to clinging to their party’s platform. It’s a whole new way to organize that makes me starry-eyed with hope that one day activism truly could be post-partisan.”
