Website promotes local activism
The creators of The WNC Activist (www.wnc-activist.org) say that their hope is to serve two primary functions: as a networking tool among activists in the region and as a point from which the general public can find out more about the issues at hand and how they can get involved. Features of the site include an online events calendar; a discussion board; areas for posting Calls To Action, local resources, and info about local groups and other resources. The website’s management invites people to suggest new features.
