Brainstorming post

[sathari]

In addition to the master post of ideas and suggestions, on the encouragement of one of our wonderful mods tassosss, I'm offering up a brainstorming post for batting ideas back and forth--- things we've done that seem to be effective, ideas we have, especially for making activism easier in general... and, because of the fannish spirit of this comm, any ideas for activism/tools/etc. that you've gotten from fiction and other media? Or for that matter any stories/art/music/other creations that inspire and support your activism that you want to share?

Re: Activist tools idea from the Vorkosigan Saga

We did a post a while back on FiveThityEight's analysis of which senators are most likely to cross party lines, and the FiveThirtyEight post links to OntheIssues.org, a site which tracks candidates' positions. You'd have to dig a bit, but it looks like the data is out there for a lot of major issues.

Oooh, thanks! OnTheIssues is very close to what I described (minus the graphical element, but that's okay) so, yay! And sorry I missed THAT post! You two are so on the ball.
