Chicago NetSquared November Meetup - Go Green
This location is shown only to members
This month it's Environmental!
We will have two presentation demonstrating how people and organizations focused on climate issues and green living are using social media to get their message out.
Julie Peterson of BeyondToday.org uses video and facebook along with a wiki and a mailing list. Her tagging of images is of particular interest as a model of using tools to meet needs in unexpected (not designed for) ways.
Dorothee Royal Hedinger of OrganicNation.tv also uses video as a social media strategy to convey her message. She also gains involvement for her efforts through targeted campaigns.
We will hear from both of them and discuss ways we can remake the social media tools we have to meet our goals.
Our theme is green this month, as climate talks in the next 45 days are critical to the green movement.

There is a parking lot on the East side of the building.
From downtown, you can take the #62 Archer bus to Chinatown, then transfer the #21 Cermak bus. It's a few minute ride west - pull for a stop when you pass the giant firewood pile on the right. Alternately, you can take the Redline to Cermak, transfer to the #21 bus, and hop off at the same stop. Finally, you can take the Orange line to Halsted and then either walk or take a Halsted bus north, getting off at Cermak and then walking.

Re: safety - I've never had a problem and have been here working quite late (and had a few very late nights at The Skylark, which is just 2 blocks away), but this is an industrial, not residential, area. It's in a strip of industrial warehouses and such between Pilsen and Bridgeport, although the neighborhood is technically Pilsen.

Does anyone know if there is parking in the area? And as a naive suburbanite, is it a pretty safe area? I tutor near there on Tuesdays and may just drive-can't seem to find any public trans nearby.
Thanks!
