How can technology help combat corruption? (Sept 10-11 event at Brandeis: Social Justice in the Age of Facebook:  http://www.brandeis.edu/ethics/events/index.html)

Why did people love the social movements of the 70s? Empowering to help make change, learn relevant stuff fast, employ your intelligence to help develop the demands and strategy, fun to be part of a community. We had the benefit of older activists--we didn't have to start from scratch on everything. We went to meetings the way people today hang out at clubs. Where to plug in to get all that? I know web sites I can visit to be educated on an issue (with a lot of personal effort and some amount of frustration) but they aren't connected to anything more substantial in terms of making change than "write a letter" or sign a petition. Or they want me to join some kind of event and carry a giant puppet....I'd rather spend my weekend working.
