The Democratic Underground, or DU, a megasite basically US and Canadian based, with 70,000 members and 40,000 participants A DAY, have started a new activist corps. They are looking for 1000 committed authentic progressive activists who will engage in actions regularly -- day after day, albeit small, but a few times or maybe more each week. Each particular action is voluntary (eg if you disagree) but mainly these are things more or less generically appealing to progressives (which in the US is pretty broad!). Of course, if you are from outside North America you should let the people running it know -- but most actions probably would not require any connexion to the US and no doubt there are already people in it (800 have signed up so far -- its so fresh it's from the future, like the pizza commercial) so get in on history-making on the ground floor, and then maybe a parrallel organization could start at the EU of progressives!!!!!!! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=106&topic_id=16420&mesg_id=16420 That is the URL CHECK IT OUT !!!!! if you have any interest in e-democracy, that is
