FAQ
Got questions? We've got answers...
Q: What is Left Action?
A: Left Action is a network encompassing a range of sites and Facebook pages, powered by millions of progressives. The flagship web site is at http://LeftAction.com, and the main Facebook page is at http://Facebook.com/LeftAction.
Q: How is Left Action different from other progressive organizations?
A: There's a range of great organizations out there, and we encourage you to check them out (and we often highlight them right here). What makes Left Action a bit different is our greater reliance on humor, edginess, and yes, sometimes outright immaturity to make a point, promote progressive causes, and fight back against the right wing.
Q: How do you decide what causes to promote?
A: We try to focus on causes that are important, and that we believe we can build traction for among the Left Action community. Some of our progressive partners for the causes we promote also help by paying, which is critical for covering our costs (for technology, marketing, etc.). This is frankly awesome, and essential for keeping this effort going.
Q: What if I have a cause I want to suggest?
A: The best way to do it is to post something on the Facebook page wall. If it gets a lot of "likes" from others, that's a sign to us that there's support, and it's something we pay serious attention to. On the other hand, if it doesn't get a lot of likes, it's probably a sign the Left Action community isn't interested, and we don't push items that simply aren't going to gain backing or traction among our supporters.
Q: What can I do to help?
A: We'll be building out a volunteer infrastructure over time, but for now, the biggest thing you can do is *get more fans for this page.* Seriously, the more we have in terms of numbers, the greater the impact we can have in whatever cause we're fighting for in the future.
Q: I have an organization or cause that I'm seeking to build an activist base for. Does Left Action work with organizations in this way?
A: Yes. We often work with progressive organizations in exactly this way. This can include helping with advertising, list building, or creative consulting on building effective campaigns. If you're interested in working in this way, please use our contact form at LeftAction.com.
