Opportunities for information and web-based human rights and social justice work are available like never before - but how can activists take advantage of this changing world of new communications technologies?

Our challenge is to build an architecture of participation, to grow activism and involvement and to allow people to speak for themselves. The prize is an empowered engagement that could change our relationship with our members & supporters. The risk is that, despite the tools, people won’t take part, or that by taking part they will put themselves at risk. We need to recognise where we are being naive about the users themselves or naive about the determination of corporations & governments to control them.
