Organizing Tools for the Grassroots

After the 2006 Election, I thought, "How can I provide the same powerful Web tools we built for my campaign to other grassroots candidates and organizations. I joined forces with Mark Brosius, who was our brilliant and dedicated IT Director for the Criscenzo campaign and we created NetRootz.com.

During the past decade thousands of people have become politically active - some for the first time in their lives. The important thing now is to keep that energy alive and to keep progressive activists engaged on the local level

NetRootz provides grassroots groups and campaigns with the same user-friendly, web-based tools used by more established organizations. And it provides individual activists with a better way to coordinate their thinvolvement in different groups and projects so that their participation is more effective and rewarding.

NetRootz is different because grassroots organizations work differently. Organizational tools for traditional organizations are based on one group with many individual members, but NetRootz is based on individual activists who usually belong to many grassroots groups.

Any grassroots organization can use the FREE NetRootz Toolz to add their events to the searchable NetRootz calendar, manage their email list and send out professional email blasts. For a minimal monthly cost, groups can manage their website using the NetRootz web-based EasyMgr Site Builder.
