Technology for Social Change - Join Us!
9th Annual Grassroots Use of Technology Conference A Success!!!OC held its 9th annual Grassroots Use of Technology conference in Lowell, Massachusetts! The year's theme -- Connect, Communicate, and Collaborate -- focused on how to apply many new technologies and organizing tools (social networking sites, content management, databases) to the needs of grassroots groups. We had 15 great workshops this year! The final program is online. We will be posting as many workshop materials online as possible in the coming days. Keep checking back to see what's here. Our MissionInformation and communication technologies can be powerful tools to promote change. Organizers' Collaborative believes that such power should be in the hands of the many, not just the few. We believe that affordable, easy-to-use, and accessible technology as well as the knowledge to use it is a basic right. If you think so too, then join us in our quest for a more equitable world.
