In preparation for the next phase of The Sunny Way, I’ve been doing some research on activist resources currently available and have found some great stuff I wanted to share with you.

On Razoo, you can create actions and sign on to participate in actions others have created. You can also converse with other like-minded folks and see what people are up to around the world. I particularly like reading users’ answers to the question “How I would change the world.”

Causecast has a very slick interface that bundles video in with the typical social networking features. You can easily get into the meat of any issue you’re concerned about by clicking around the menus at the top of the page.

Social Actions has some very cool widgets that can be plugged into any website, to show Related Actions, Related Classroom Projects, and more. They even have an API (application programming interface) that makes it possible for people to program more widgets at any time based on the social action database they have begun to create.

We’ve posted about Wiser Earth before, But my recent research shows that they are tackling lots of new ways to serve their community of activist organizations, as well as asking users for feedback on what functionality would be most useful to them. Recently they have added Solutions to their database, allowing users to share what’s worked for them.

Lastly, this is a blog post by Dave Pollard describing his recipe for saving the world. He’s really thought this through—enjoy!
