Fahamu: Pan-African Text Messaging for Social Justice
By Emily Gertz, Worldchanging
Fahamu uses burgeoning technologies, namely mobile phones and the internet, to raise consciousness and promote human rights in Africa. After successfully launching a ground-breaking mobile text messaging petition to ratify the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa in 2004, the African human rights organization has gone on to support and raise awareness about the Global Call to Action Against Poverty using digital technologies. -- Rose Miller

God's Politics
By Brian Fanelli, WireTap
The 10,000 members of the Christian Alliance for Progress are out to let their fellow Americans know that there's a growing national Christian organization that supports peace, gay and lesbian rights, environmental causes, and a woman's right to choose. Since its launch in June, the group, which openly opposes the rhetoric of the religious right, has garnered national attention and the criticism of prominent members of the right including Dr. Edward Hindson and the Rev. Jerry Falwell. -- Rose Miller
