Mission

Social Actions helps individuals and organizations use social media to plan, implement, and support peer-to-peer social change campaigns so that grassroots solutions to local and global problems can flourish.

Toward this end, Social Actions:

• Provides a search engine of peer-to-peer social change campaigns;
• Aggregates peer-to-peer social change campaigns from 14 unique social action platforms;
• Publishes materials for individuals on planning and implementing peer-to-peer social change campaigns;
• Distributes materials for nonprofits and foundations on engaging constituents;
• Connects technology consultants and thought leaders with nonprofits and foundations;
• Encourages collaboration among social action platforms.

These activities support the mission by helping individuals to

• Find and support active peer-to-peer social change campaigns;
• Become effective wired changemakers independent of their age, location, wealth, or social media knowledge-base.

Nonprofits and foundations:

• Learn how to leverage the resources and passions of real people;
• Find professionals who can assist with creating and implementing a social media strategy.

Social Actions encourages collaboration among social action platforms in an effort to ensure that the technology underlying peer-to-peer social change campaigns integrates well and reflects the full potential of social media.
