The Action Now! section of NetChange is designed to give student and youth activists an outlet to promote their conferences, protests, boycotts, petitions and other progressive initiatives. Here is an example of how these bulletins will appear.

Ideally, each bulletin will have a means by which the activist can take action immediately from their terminal, whether it be sending an encouraging email, signing an electronic petition or making a pledge to contribute to a cause.

The goal of this project is to provide new action bulletins on a weekly basis, at a standard url, to encourage activists to return to the NetChange site and stay abreast of new developments. To facilitate these weekly updates, NetChange is building a network of student groups to contribute to the Activism NOW! bulletins. As this network grows, NetChange will establish a strong, loyal audience and become a powerful outlet for the distribution of activist information.
