Organizing for Tibet on the Web

Stand Up for Tibet! billboard photo
As we prepare to leave San Francisco tomorrow, the city is getting ready for the Olympic torch to pass through, and for the protests planned on April 8 and 9 to highlight opposition to human rights abuses in China, and particularly the situation with Tibet.

BoingBoing had a link to a site created by sfteamtibet.org. Set up using an open source content management system called Joomla, the site is a good example of the way the Web can be used to mobilize quickly.
