Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media
AUGUST 1, 2012
The relationship starts online, but the “ask” happens offline, perhaps on the phone, but most likely face-to-face. An organization dedicated to “never again” a genocide — such as those in Europe, Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur — must raise awareness and advocate with as much energy as it raises money. No problem.

See the Darfur scores for example. Transparent scorecard reporting: After aggregating a "grade" for each policy maker, publish it on the Internet, with all relevant substantiating information. Also use political fundraising reporting tools to learn who donated to particular politicians.

Have Fun - Do Good
SEPTEMBER 3, 2007
On Friday, I was on a "Darfur Activist" conference call produced by ENOUGH , the Genocide Intervention Network , STAND and the Save Darfur Coalition. Anyone could call in and hear an update about developments on the ground in Darfur and Congo, and upcoming legislation, events and campaigns. Photo Credit: Camp by Mark Knobil.
Beneblog: Technology Meets Society
OCTOBER 21, 2008

Our newest human rights project is looking closely at the human rights challenges in Darfur. Humanity United (founded by Pam Omidyar) funded this work.

We also have a student division: STAND , which has more than 850 chapters around the world, and the students in those chapters actively organize and mobilize their communities and schools to pass legislation, to fundraise, and to really make more noise about genocide in Darfur and genocide in general. That knowledge keeps me going.
Museum 2.0
JUNE 25, 2007
section about the genocide in Darfur, which includes information about direct action, as well as connection to a variety of social networks, blogs, and content about the situation. Clear way for me to quickly affect the situation (sign petition, give money, host an event, volunteer at a phone bank) right now.
Museum 2.0
JANUARY 5, 2007
The Exploratorium did the solar eclipse, and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum is doing all kinds of programs around Darfur. Use the phone? It seems like the real world museums that are starting to work in Second Life are pursuing the social interaction element of the platform through events. Are we escaping reality when we use the web?
