"As with all previous leaps in technology, cell phones are used to empower organizing efforts (just like early campaigns using printed materials, TV, radio, fax, email, web, etc.). The time has come to recognize the power of the cell phone as an organizing and campaign communication tool...[T]he goal [of MobileActive] is to shorten the learning curve and accelerate the use of cell phones as a successful tool in campaigns, human rights efforts and field organizing. The "MobileActive" convergence will develop new guides for campaign planners, communications staff and technology staff. Case studies from the field will be explored and a short list of recommendations will be developed for funders interested in supporting campaigns and issue organizing that use mobile phones as an engagement tool."
