Welcome Social Change Agents!

I am multi-tasking millennial living in the Middle East. Since my early days, I’ve been of the tree-hugging, twittering type. Some of my first attempts, guided by my baby boomer parent’s, involved picking up trash on the playground, marching through the streets of Seattle, giving press conferences on podiums in NYC and eventually smart-mobbing in front of the White House.

Today, I tweet, stumble, subscribe, blog, share, link and do the web 2.0 boogie as a profession and as a hobby. But, I don’t just do it for any reason–I do it to create and contribute to a community of social change agents and I invite you to  join me.

As a communications consultant for non-profit organizations and socially responsible businesses, my work involves creating communities around great ideas. Every day I come across valuable tools for people and organizations working for social change and I plan on sharing them with you here, on my blog. I hope that through my writings you will be able to find constructive commentary, information and connections that will help you create a community around your social change ventures.

Please contribute to this blog, as this is a place for community–so join in. I’m not just writing for myself–even though I often think so–I’m writing to help others on their path and to learn something as well.

Please share your social ventures or social change tools with me by contacting me at: alisonramer@gmail.com. If they’re any good, I’d be glad to feature them here.

About Alis

Alis is a human rights activist, writer and part-time hermit. She was born in New York City, raised in Seattle, studied in Cambridge and the Pioneer Valley, and for the past five years has lived in Palestine. To make money, she works in what they called “international relations” in college, but what she thinks more effectively should be described as abusing the written word and acting as the unnecessary cultural buffer between the east and the west. She is currently a refugee of all things Israeli and is surviving in the last liberal enclave in Palestine, Ramallah, where she is resisting exodus with the few friends she has left and books she’s managed to steal from the net.
