Community Spotlight
Tracy Perkins
Project Director
Voices from the Valley
We are in awe of Tracy's inspiring dedication to support environment justice in the San Joaquin Valley of California.
She developed an online project,
Voices from the Valley, which uses photography, oral history, and the news media to paint a vivid picture of environmental toxins in the Valley.
From CATechFest to Bay Area convenings, we are grateful for all the leadership she brings to technology for social justice!

Hi Everyone,
Bouncing from sunny Cali to other more autumn-filled parts of the world the past couple of months, we're more grateful than ever for people like you taking risks and taking stands to support the causes that matter most.
We're hoping to help you end the year strong with an extra boost of tech support for your daily grind ;).
What's Inside the 2013 Fall Newsletter
California Leaders Who Go the Extra Mile
Over 200 community-based organizations from 25 California communities have participated in the growing technology capacity building network in California over the past two years.
Read about the emerging statewide network of leaders who invest the time to travel around the state on many nonprofit technology adventures.
During the most recent California
Nonprofit Technology Festival in Sacramento, a compelling set of leaders flooded the room with knowledge. Check out the details from Sacramento in September below:
What happened at CA Tech Fest Sacramento?
What's Next for California?
We are setting off on road trips to talk to nonprofits about the challenges and opportunities they face in technology and online organizing. Based on the feedback, we'll hold a series of hands-on workshops around the state in 2014.
On another exciting note, the next California Nonprofit Technology Festival is planned for April 2014 in the city of, wait for it, Los Angeles!
We are scheming plans with local nonprofits now and looking forward to organizing a tech fest for the rest of us in LA!

Online Resources from the Field
Here are two recently released eAdvocacy guidebooks to support the efforts of online organizers around the world! Indulge with us and enjoy some new angles of effective best practices to engage online community with a focus on social change.
- CANFIT Launches Facilitator's Guide on Youth eAdvocacy
Do you work with young people on campaigns for community change? This is for you!
Not only are they celebrating 20 years, the good folks over at CANFIT created their Youth eAdvocacy manual, a facilitators guidebook to support youth to advocate and engage peers using online tools and social media campaigns.

- Greenlining Releases Nonprofit Social Media Toolkit
Want to hear from an actual nonprofit how social media works for them?
The Greenlining Institute in Berkeley just released their Social Media Toolkit to help other nonprofits build an online presence and effectively join conversations about their issue areas. We pulled out some of our favorite details over on the SSC Blog.
Download the Social Media Toolkit
We were delighted to be a part of the journey of learning and growing with these two organizations over the last five years during our Bay Area eAdvocacy Mentoring Cohort. Thank you for sharing out your lessons learned to help advocates, nonprofits, and youth development organizations.
Happy Fall Time!
We hope you slam dunk your end of year goals, and we also hope to hear from you as you start planning your new beginnings. Keep in touch!
best,
Misty
