CivicActions

Two months ago, we were honored to be considered (along with Development Seed), as one of the two finalists to take on a series of sprints for the development of the new Amnesty International site. In late May, we were informed that we had been awarded the engagement. Two weeks ago in London, Ken Jordan, Jacob Singh, and I met with the Amnesty team for a 2 day engagement kick-off. We are on track to present the results of our first sprint in early July.

In just two short weeks, CivicActions launched the new California Leadership Committee (CLC) web site.

The CLC is a California state PAC dedicated to "Supporting the Best and Brightest Democrats running for office in California". Former eBay executive and California Controller, Steve Westly founded the CLC in July 2006 to help support the candidates and causes he believes in.

Through the web site you can learn more about the CLC, the candidates, upcoming events, and important policy issues like clean technology.

To kick-off the the site, the CLC has posted dozens of articles, op-eds, pictures and videos, as well as an exclusive interview with Assemblymember Joe Nation, co-author of California’s groundbreaking cap and trade policy.

CivicActions gives a special thanks - and a big shout-out - to Doug Green for his fast and furious Drupal mastery on this project!

I got an email from Ethan today who is in Brooklyn working with Arthur and Zoey and one of our newest clients. On his way from their hotel to the client's office, they spotted this poster:

ShayaIsComing.org is a campaign of the Laborers Eastern Region Organizing Fund, one of our clients!

Two weeks ago, we jumped in to assist the draft Al Gore movement to launch the new AlGore.Org. It went live this morning just in time for Al to get an Oscar tonight. And, our 'Dean Bat' is moving up nicely tonight. Way to go team - special thanks to Ken Jordan, Owen Barton, Doug Green and Amy Woloszyn!

Last fall we began working with The Montana Conservation Voters. We just launched their new website MTVoters.org. We also launched MTVotersEdFund.org, the site for their Education Fund.

The 2006 election was a big one for Conservation Politics in Montana with the election of MCV endorsed US Senate Candidate John Tester.

We've just launched a new joint venture with Jim Hightower, Brad Burkhart and Dan Gregoire called the HightowerDownload. See our first episode:

CivicActions launched HightowerLowdown.org on Monday. This site follows on our launch, earlier this year, of JimHightower.com and last year's Hightower Roadmap, our first project with Hightower's team.
