Ushahidi got its start in early 2008. Founder Erik Hersman and a group of fellow Kenyan bloggers were frustrated by the lack of accurate information or media coverage of the violence surrounding the 2008 Kenyan election.

Solving basic social problems requires a level of sustainable investment that donors and government cannot provide alone. Shrinking government budgets and greater competition for ever-fewer dollars are reducing the scale and effectiveness of nonprofits in meeting the nation’s growing challenges and intractable problems.

With that settled, it’s time to move on to the benefits of advocacy. With each action taken by advocates, there is the opportunity to virally spread the word about the action and, in turn, engage new contacts/advocates, building your database of people that you can communicate with at any time. The answer is a resounding YES.

Aid programs may be necessary to benefit the individuals currently in poverty, but it does not provide a lasting solution (Dees, 2008). Nationally and in Arizona, systemic challenges are present. Scharmer (2008) accuses these failures to the blind “deeper dimension of leadership and transformational change” (Scharmer, 2008).

"I think that people have long associated feminism with older white women and the idea of bringing that back to women of color, and bringing it back to young women of color and asking them what it means is an exciting time for me." In particular, it is important to think about what young women need to be thinking about in this moment of time.
