The power of peers

I wanted to take a quick moment to let all of you know about two great things from my friend Peter Deitz:

1.  Social Actions helps individuals and organizations use social media to plan, implement, and support peer-to-peer social change campaigns and aggregates peer-to-peer social change campaigns from 19 social action platforms.  You should check them out and create an account – this is a wonderful sprouting community for peer-to-peer social change!

2.  Peter has an excellent post that provides and introduction to fundraising with social media.  It covers Causes, Change.org, ChipIn, and Fundraising and you can read it here.

There are so many new ways to connect with others online around common goals, changes, fundraising, and more.  Have you joined a pledge online or started one yourself?  What lessons did you learn that you want to share?
