"Somehow we can talk about these subjects here in polite company."

Welcome all, and thanks for visiting ActMo! This is the NEW location for our popular About Us page since NING changed their TOS in 2010.

The Activist Motivator is a Citizen Journalist, Open Forum, Social Network for promoting Awareness, Debate and Organizing Action on important social issues. Issues like transparency, corporate governance, ethics, social justice, ecology, health and food safety, human rights, and more. We are seeking facts to determine truths, and all are welcome to debate these here.

Tips for Tapping into the ActMo! Network
Start by getting familiar with your 'My Page' area. You have a customizable page so take some time to make it the way that best suits your style. Please use your My Page comment wall for your thoughts and opinions and random conversations to help keep the main site uncluttered. Here's a link to Cromag's My Page

Video Section: The place to upload or embed important videos and even add lots of commentary. Have a look at this example.

Forum Section: The place to start discussion topics where you would like people to join in a conversation. A great place to debate issues or ask for ideas or opinions on subjects. As we get more traffic, this should be the most interesting area.

Invite friends, organize groups and debate issues. Add new photos
Group Section : The place to form private groups with members for planning, discussing, updating or sharing information.

Blog Section: The place for objective, thought provoking articles, that hopefully educate or encourage comments. Links are always good to help support claims and minimize conjecture. Videos that are not supported by NING's video upload system in our video section can easily be embeded in the blog section.

Events Section : The place to let people know of upcoming events or demonstrations, and even to have people RSVP.

* Instantly add photos from your phone by sending them directly to [e-mail](for photos only)

We have RSS all over our network under each category and more, such as this RSS Link for our Latest Activity updates
