From December 3 to 5 2008, leaders of pioneering youth movements launched a global network that empowers young people to mobilize against violence and oppression. Brought together by Howcast, Facebook, Google, YouTube, MTV, the U.S. Department of State, Columbia Law School and Access 360 Media, leaders of the organizations met in New York City, shared their experiences, and crafted Creating Grassroots Movements for Change: A Field Manual in order to show how to effect social change using online tools.
