An invitation to be a part of the Shundahai Network website collective

We are looking for five activists to be a part of a dynamic collective of volunteers who would commit to 3 – 5 hours a week on helping to design the website, do research and post information on our issue pages, and doing outreach to prospective participating organizations. This could be an exciting possibility to be part of a creative team of dedicated activists addressing important concerns affecting indigenous and minority communities regarding nuclear and environmental justice issues.

The initial vision is to create a series of websites (including current one) or web presences that would truly be a network of engaged activists and groups highlighting mostly small local indigenous, minority or otherwise disenfranchised community organizations (such as the organizations that are part of the BASE community who would otherwise not have a chance to have a web presence). This would be interactive with elements such as blogs, myspace.com and a site where other organizations could post announcements and action alerts. Participating organizations would be asked to adhere to a set of principles centered on nonviolence and an advisory board of environmental justice leaders would give guidance.

If you are interested in being a part of this collective, please send us your resume and a writing sample. We will begin forming the collective in January. Web design experience is desirable, but not necessary. We can train the right people and there are ways you could help without having web designing programs, by doing internet research and creating text which you could send to us to include on our issue pages.

The easiest way is to email us with your request and information.
