This morning I attended a workshop on using Facebook for social change (though they called it for social service). It was lead by Matt Mahan of the Causes application on Facebook. Becuase a lot of the discussino was around online fundraising, there wasn't too much that I think could be applied by TIG as a Canadian non-profit under different tax rules. It was good though, the presenter was really energetic.

The conference wrapped up with the announcement that next year the conference will be in Little Rock, Arkansas and with a couple of key note speeches. I thought the most interesting one was the one from STAND (Students Taking Action Now - Darfur). Their work on the genocide in Darfur has demonstrated how important consistent pressure on domestic officials is to creating lasting change.
