Is Soca targeting advertising money? Are soca artists trying to take the guess work out for choosing songs for advertising material? Growing trend or opportunists?

I'd like to support, but what am i supporting ?

I would like to support the re-routing of the highway, but i would really like to know what i'm supporting before I jump in!! How do i find out more about the situation? Is it my duty to become informed and join up or should the movement provide access to more information so that more support may be generated??  Both I guess.

 It should be obvious that no matter where the highway is run someone is going to be inconvenienced. The route of least enviromental impact should be the one taken in preferance to the most direct or cheapest one. I haven't seen any maps of the proposed project so I have no clue what is going on.

I support the concept of activism but have yet to actually put myself in the line of fire as it were. Soooooooo...I will sit in my armchair a bit longer and see where this goes.

Social Activism

OUTLISH Magazine

More people don't get involved in social activism because:
1. They don't care?
or
2. Organisers don't know how to attract support in interesting ways?

If you thought the previous post was heart wrenching and you're almost ready to jump out of your chair to get the check book,.........read the comments about the posting below.

Truth and accuracy of information on the internet is of great concern to all, as Agenda Setting or outright fraud are real issues to keep in mind when consuming media. Instances of attempted grassroots convergence may soley be attempts at pocketbook convergence.

The following is an example of the power of social media. A "publicity campagin" has been launched against Joseph Kony, a south African Military leader, to bring him to justice for crimes against Humanity.
