Acting out for social justice

World Vision ACT:S is a program that is empowering college students to use social media to raise awareness of poverty issues and injustice around the globe.

Using Facebook, Twitter, newsletters by email and blogs, the group equips students to bring awareness to issues like AIDS, malaria, child slavery and hunger. One goal the group is working towards through creative online campaigning is ending malaria deaths by 2015.

Anyone can join their network, follow their Faith and Justice blog or sign up for their bi-weekly newsletter.
