Technology and Civic Engagement - Part II

 

There are 28 days left before the 2008 election. The upcoming presidential election may be, what some have labeled, the election of a century. Record primary voting, floods of new registrations, more small campaign donors and highly rated political conventions show that people are intensely interested in the 2008 election. People perceive that their vote will help determine issues of peace and prosperity.

Technology and Civic Engagement

ZeroDivide believes in building and strengthening the capacity of underserved communities to use emerging technologies to influence public policy and business practices.

We know that a committed investment in technology has the ability to engage, amplify and create influential voices leading to healthy and vibrant California communities. Conventional forms of democratic activism are being transformed by technology. The Internet has proven to be a powerful force, capable of strengthening connections between citizens and representatives and facilitating new forms of public engagement.
