The way I see it, there are many directions that technology is aiding social change work: enabling data sharing, exchange and mapping. You can also use Social Actions’ Twitter mashups to pull and push actionable opportunities to your network. This is a great example of providing a real, authentic voice to a global issue.

While the practice of using images to convey meaning is nothing new to humans, dating back to the earliest cave drawings, putting data into visual representations seems to have taken on a new life in this day and age where mashups are king on the internet.
