Mike Connery on Facebook Causes Giving Challenge

Youth vote and tech guru Mike Connery has posted his own post mortem on the Facebook Causes Giving Challenge at techPresident (and his own blog, Future Majority). I agree with Connery’s conclusion:

Most pertinent to youth organizers, this contest and any future iterations provides a model for organizational development that can at least begin overcome one of the most significant hurdles to sustainable youth organizing – building a donor base out of a young membership with huge amounts of disposable income, but very little willingness to spend it on political/activist causes. Very impressive all around, and certainly something to watch in the future.
