Reminder: These assignments should reflect only your opinions and findings. We run all Friday projects through the Turnitin plagiarism-checking system. The system tracks the similarity of your answer to other sources and other students' answers. To avoid any conflict, make sure to complete projects on your own. 

Learning Goals: The goals of this assignment are (1) to think about the role of online technologies in civic action, (2) to identify civic action in your own world, (3) to think about the communication strategies of a given civic organization, and (4) to help raise awareness of the issue you picked to analyze.

Observe: Pick a cause that interests you, and an organization that aims to mobilize those who are involved in this cause. Every cause has a group—for example, if you are interested in the environment, you might choose the Greenpeace organization or the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC). You can pick any organization that engages in civic outreach related to your chosen cause. List the cause and organization you picked below.
