Blog Action Day: 2012 #blog #powerofwe #getready #geekgirl

Hello Bloggers & et al, please note:

1. Blog Action Day will be held on October 15, 2012, 2. Our theme is The Power of We – you can use the #powerofwe hashtag, and 3. Registrations for Blog Action Day are now OPEN. –> http://blogactionday.org/register-to-take-part/

Digital tools like blogs, social networks and mobiles, or meeting face to face in local community halls, neighbours house, and public streets. Greater numbers of people have been coming together to make change, either for their own communities or the world at large.

For the team at Blog Action Day, we see The Power of We as a celebration of people working together to make a positive difference in the world, and we hope you take part and register your blog for Blog Action Day.

For Blog Action Day, you might profile a person or a group who inspires you, talk about your own efforts to make change, or highlight a cause that has been successful for using people power to make a difference.

There are hundreds of examples you could choose from such as; fighting for healthier meals for kids in schools, protecting people’s rights in countries far away, stopping practices in industries that hurt the environment and communities, challenging authorities to listen and act for the people.

Or, you may want to focus on historical social change movements such as the Suffragettes movement, campaigns against slavery or civil rights.
