BRAINSTORM: What would you do with the ultimate advocacy toolbox?

Peter Deitz and the Social Actions team won third place in the NetSquared Mashup Challenge with this idea:
Aggregate peer-to-peer social change campaigns so that individuals, organizations, and 3rd-party developers can find, support and mashup grassroots solutions to local and global problems.

The result is a meta-platform that brings together active campaigns from 29+ platforms into a single open API and search interface. You can check it out at www.socialactions.com.

Now they need your help. The service exists - what's the best way to use it? What are some inspiring applications for it? How can organizations best use their newly released API?

Join us at 7pm on Tuesday, September 23rd for a walk through of Social Actions and group brainstorm on the opportunities it presents online organizers.
