Southern Sierran
Club Launches Online Communities

The Sierra Club has launched three new online communities:

Climate Crossroads: http://climatecrossroads.org

Sierra Student Coalition: http://ssc.sierraclub.org

Sierra Club Trails: http://sierraclubtrails.org

Sierra Club and other activists are increasingly using social networking tools like Facebook to meet, share information, strategize, and organize. Social networking is engaging and enjoyable, but more critically, it is immensely powerful. Witness the way candidate Barack Obama utilized social networks to his advantage, and continues to use them to keep in touch with his supporters and promote his legislative agenda.

Anyone can browse the Club's new social networking sites. Those who wish to participate in the discussion and leverage these tools for their campaigns can do so by creating a user profile, which is simple and takes just a few minutes.

Community members will be able to blog, join and create groups, take action, start discussions, circulate petitions, organize rallies, and more. Through these online communities, activists can come together to tackle climate change, share knowledge of great hiking trails and waterways, or simply swap green living tips and earth-friendly recipes.
