Drupal for Activists and Campaigns

UPDATE:

No one has responded, so we are obliged to try to do this ourselves. We run into many problems in terms of development and implementation (internationalization, theme integration, etc). We still need help. On theming we have two themes selected and we try to merge them, to get the best out of both. Please write me if you think you can assist. Thanks for reading.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

There are no financial resources available for this work (i.e., there is no money). We look for volunteers. We ourselves are volunteers. Your contribution will be acknowledged, of course (if you wish), and we can provide letters of recommendation if needed. Your main reward, like ours, is a lighter conscience, knowing that you did something for the benefit of human rights and justice worldwide, and specifically for Iraqi victims. We believe that the protection and promotion of human rights is a duty that rests on the shoulders of all of us; that all of us should use whatever skills we have, in part at least, towards that end. Please read the posting in full and you will see that volunteering for this project would be a good use of your skills, and your time, for an initiative that could have a real world impact. Thank you for listening.

To all Drupal enthusiasts and experts:

I am involved in an initiative to hold accountable US and UK leaders for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Iraq, including 2.5 million excess Iraqi deaths since 1990 and the displacement of 4.7 million more.

After nearly two years of planning, and several months of organisation and writing, last week we filed in Spain, at the Audiencia Nacional under laws of universal jurisdiction, a legal case naming four US presidents and four UK prime ministers. You can read our press release here.

This case is a historic step forward in the struggle for justice for Iraq, and by extension in the struggle for human rights against colonial and imperial crimes worldwide. If allowed to be a precedent, what happened in Iraq could happen elsewhere.

Where Drupal comes in
Around 18 months ago I posted a request for assistance in these forums (see here). As our initiative was getting underway, I could see immediately the potential of Drupal for online collaboration and social network building.

Hi folks,

Just a quick reminder that the DC CiviCRM Meetup will hold it's first meeting this Wednesday, April 22nd from 6:30pm to 8:00pm at The Black Squirrel in Adams Morgan. We will have a Speed Show and Tell, giving each presenter 5 minutes to give a visual or spoken presentation about what they are doing with CiviCRM. This is a great opportunity to come
out and learn about the CiviCRM project, how people are using the system within their organizations, and meet other CiviCRM users and developers in the DC/VA/MD area. If you would like to present, please come prepared with a laptop.

Hi folks,

I put a feeler out on a couple of listserves earlier today about starting a DC CiviCRM user group and got a good response. I went ahead and started a Meetup and am planning the first Meetup for April 22nd at 6:30pm at the Black Squirrel in Adams Morgan.

You can sign up for the Meetup group at: http://www.meetup.com/dc-civicrm-meetup/
