Blogging the Grassroots Global Justice Movement

SWOP has built a very nice web log, covering the news from on the ground in Albuquerque. Here's their entry covering the founding of Grassroots Global Justice in San Antonio in April.
Karlos is the communications wizard at SWOP. He recently told us on how they intend to use the blog in their community organizing.:

We are going to be doing "breakfast and blogging" workshops over the summer as well to demystify it for folks who may think it is difficult. Ultimately, the idea is to have an online community that resembles the folks we organize with where we can start to create a dialogue about grassroots issues. It is only a supplement to our organizing and mission.

Also, it's a way to get around the corporate media filter, straight to targeted audiences. Particularly when corporate media doesn't cover community demos, events, etc., but also to comment on stories that do run locally.

Blogging - not just for breakfast any more...
