Reclaim The Web!

Just this past Sunday, the Web Activist Collective and GreenNet put on Reclaim the Web at the Development House in London — a free Web 2.0 conference (and vegan potluck) designed specifically for NGO volunteers (i.e. those working for social change but who haven't necessarily received training in the use of social software/Web 2.0 tools).

Just like Take Back the Web last October, the day combined practical workshops for online activism with open space discussions around emerging technologies and social change, and just like last October, a group of really amazing people showed up (like the inimitable Mamading, pictured above) — the best thing about organising these events for me by far is the people I get to work with and meet, so thank you WAC, thank you Anna and GreenNet, and thank you everyone who came out on a beautiful Sunday to spend the day (mostly) indoors to take part :)
