Here’s a short synopsis for non-techies about my latest focus on tools integration. I wrote it for Care2’s Frogloop blog. An easy read for anyone not familiar with wonky terms like “interoperability” and “XDI” and “open APIs.”

If you work for a progressive organization or campaign, you probably struggle with technology. You probably have multiple databases and tech tools that half-work, but don’t work together. Thousands of us have struggled for years with fragmented systems that don’t fully get the job done.

If you want the progressive movement to have the toolsuites we need to win, you should sign The Integration Proclamation. After you’ve signed it, send it around to your colleagues, allies and anyone else who fights for progressive social change.

As Colin Delany of epolitics.com wrote today, “Online campaigners unite! You have nothing to lose but oh, about 30 seconds of your time!”
