�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Electronic networks offer new channels for action from the neighborhood to the national level. Now you can quickly find out what the government really does and organize around a cause or around a community using mailing lists, online debates, and Web sites.

Let a veteran political activist tell you how to use online networks to further your cause. Ed Schwartz has been a leader in citizen movements for more than 30 years and a major figure in Philadelphia politics for 20 years. As a member of the Philadelphia City Council in the 1980s, he won a "Best of Philly" award from "Philadelphia Magazine" for being an "honest politician." Introduced several years ago to networks, he now has all the accoutrements of an online presence: a Web site that serves community activists across the country, a mailing list that discusses civic values, and ties to a community network that organizes citizens across the city.

But this book is not a paean to the Internet. It deals also with the real world outside the Internet. Schwartz takes a hard look at what contemporary political movements need, whether they be about neighborhood empowerment, ecology, children, or electing candidates to public office. The Internet is not an end in itself, but a tool to wield in the constant job of organizing people. This book discusses the roles of mailing lists, Web sites, and community networks, and their relationship to traditional outlets for activism.

Whether you are a community activist, a politician, a nonprofit staff person, or just someone who cares about your community, you will benefit from the insights this book offers on how to make the fastest-growing medium today work for you.

Topics include: What equipment and software you needHow to do research that will help you formulate policy and strategyHow to organize and get your message acrossThe role of an online network in local communities

Includes CD-ROM with Internet software and limited free online time.

Anbieterinformationen

We had an open shop in the Northwest section of Philadelphia in the Chestnut Hill, Mt Airy neighborhood for 18 1/2 years. It was in a beautiful 1882 train station designed by the noted architect, Frank Furness. In August of 2014, we closed that shop but continue to sell on-line out of our home in Williamsburg, PA. We'd love to have you visit our 8,000 plus books, by appointment.
