3. New ways to rally

I certainly enjoy and appreciate the instant "news wire" the internet can be. It definitely allows for more people to get involved and stay informed on current or pressing issues. Though political conversations in the old coffee shop environment is surely missed! I agree that the internet makes it easier to document these events and gives us something to look back on.

When it comes to social justice, it's much simpler to reach out to others to rally for a cause, and in greater numbers. I feel that's why some injustices we see today have always been there but never before have they been seen under such a scrutinizing microscope as the internet is.

In terms of the party, I think I brings more interested individuals who want to be involved but never had the opportunity until now. I used to volunteer for local state campaigns when I was much younger and now I find myself wanting to be more involved again, which is why I wanted to venture in to this arena and see if it fits what I'm looking for.
