| Our Mission

Mission Statement

DigiActive is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to helping grassroots activists around the world use the Internet and mobile phones to increase their impact. Our goal is a world of activists made more powerful and more effective through the use of digital technology.

How We Got Started

We created DigiActive because we believe that every person in the world has political power and that digital tools are a great way to express this un-tapped power. Tools like the Internet and mobile phones let us communicate with other people who share our concerns, to disseminate a message of change, to organize and inform ourselves, to lobby the government, to take part in activism.

Together, we call these activities digital activism: the methods by which citizens use digital tools to effect social and political change. We founded DigiActive because we want to spread digital activism around the world.

Our Purpose

Despite the power of these tools, few activists know how to use them. The purpose of DigiActive is to promote and explain the digital tools of social change so activists can use them effectively. The activities of DigActive include, but are not limited to:

  • Explaining how to use various digital tools for activism
  • Reviewing digital activism guides and resources created by other organizations
  • Sharing stories of successful digital activism campaigns around the world
  • Hosting virtual events where activists can learn from expert digital activism practitioners
  • Alerting activists to digital actions taking place around the world.
  • Fostering community among digital activists from around the world


Statement of Financial Transparency

This site is financially independent. We have no donors, and are not funded by any government or interest group. We keep our costs low - really low - by relying on 100% volunteer effort, and we pay most of our costs out of our own pocket. (Approximate costs in 2007 were $150, paid entirely by the founders). We will continue to keep our costs low so we can retain this independence and listen only to our own community members when deciding what actions to take in promoting digital activism around the world.

With regard to trainings, we are flexible in creating agreements that match the financial capacity of each partner.
