I'm going to be co-facilitating a, "Leap Into the Web" workshop at the 2007 Making Media Connections Conference in Chicago, and would love to be able to let folks know about local examples of nonprofits using the social web.
If you know of a Chicago nonprofit using the social web for social change, will you let me know how they are using it, along with the orgs' URL, in the comments of this post, or send it to me at bbravo@techsoup.org?
Thanks!
Britt
