The National Community Action Foundation is pleased to introduce
a new communications tool for the Community Action network - the
Community Action Blog.
"A blog is a public journal that allows communities of people a
way to share thoughts and knowledge," explained NCAF Executive
Director David Bradley. "The intent of the Community Action
Blog is for it to become a place for discussion of legislative
proposals, political issues and other current events affecting
Community Action programs and poverty in America.” Bradley said
NCAF also plans to invite special guests, legislators and
scholars to contribute to the online discussions.
Bradley said he hoped the site's listing on
Blogger.com
would also bring additional public awareness to Community Action
through keyword searches. "We expect this to become an
additional source of Community Action information for Congress,
members of the media and other opinion leaders," Bradley said.
Those interested in posting comments on the site will be asked
to become a member of the blog by sending an email to
NCAF.News@ncaf.org.
All members and messages will be screened to make certain that
no inappropriate comments are posted to the site.
The blog can be accessed through
www.ncaf.org
or directly at
http://ncaf.blogspot.com.
