Blog Post #2 prt. 1

After browsing through my group's organization, I noticed that they have a blog. My group chose to 
research MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). The blog that they had on their site showcases a 
call to action about keeping the streets safe and has different stories about teenagers who died in car crashes because of drunk drivers. I feel that with this blog, users are able to share it with others even if it is only through email. However, there are other ways that this organization aims to get the word out: social media. On the home page, they have an option for you to get involved, stay connected via email and learn more about the organization by connecting to Facebook, Blogger, Twitter and LinkedIn. Using these social networks, they will reach a great number of people; and they have! So after reading about what this organization is about and what they do/have done, I do agree that online activism matters. Sending letters to people or putting ads in the newspaper isn't enough. With technology getting better every year, it literally is the best way to get people's attention and make a bold statement about what you want to accomplish.
