No more checking multiple websites and wading through hundreds of emails just to find out what each of your groups is doing. Your Personal NetRootz Organizer Webpage will have everything there for you. You can set your Personal NetRootz Organizer Webpage to be the opening page on your web browser and instantly see your activist life organized for you every time you go online. 

With just one click, you can easily control which groups you belong to and your level of involvement. For example, if your email inbox is overflowing with messages from various groups, you can request that emails from an organization only go to your Personal NetRootz Organizer Webpage., and not to your email, eliminating the need to delete and sort through messages every time you check your email. 

And you'll never again have to copy event information into calendar - when your groups post events, they are automatically added to your NetRootz Calendar. 

You low monthly subscription (only $2.95 per month) helps make it possible for all of your NetRootz groups to have a home on the web and tools for free.

Increasingly during the past decade thousands of people became politically active - some for the first time in their lives. The important thing now is to keep that energy alive and keep progressive activists engaged on the local level

NetRootz gives you a better way to coordinate your involvement in different groups and projects so that your participation is more effective and rewarding. 

NetRootz provides grassroots groups and campaigns with the same user-friendly, web-based tools used by more established organizations.

NetRootz is different because grassroots organizations work differently. Organizational tools for traditional organizations are based on one group with many individual members, but NetRootz is based on individual activists who usually belong to many grassroots groups.

The NetRootz Organizer Webpage

Your personal NetRootz Organizer Webpage puts everything in one place: your calendar, news, action alerts, messages from your groups and links to your groups' websites.

Peer-to-Peer Oganizing vs. Traditional Organizing

Instead of the traditional top-down organizational structure, NetRootz uses the functioning of our own brain as a model for how groups of people can work together to accomplish their common goals. In our brains, connections form, break and evolve as messages are processed and stored, while unnecessary links are discarded in the interest of efficiency.
With NetRootz you have a flexible, bottom-up, cooperative structure that gives community activists a way to organize and accomplish goals in a manner consistent with their progressive values. People come together to accomplish short or long term goals, from getting someone elected on a local level to ending the war in Iraq. A group of people who share an idea use web-based tools to seek out other people with a shared mission, check to see if similar groups already exist and organize and collaborate at will.
