To tap into the energy brought about by the election of Barack Obama, The Open Trust has launched a campaign to support its openDemocracy program that works to promote democracy, human rights and respect on a global scale.
You can show your support for the campaign by donating at www.justgiving.com/makechange
As it says on the fundraising page,
We want to make Obama’s change a reality and we need your help
The internet has played a huge part in this Presidential Campaign, like no other before, with Obama himself pioneering a new way of engaging and motivating his supporters through online fundraising.
The interest overseas has been so much greater than past elections, with various websites set up to predict what the world would have voted, and wall-to-wall press coverage.
The Open Trust have started their campaign to harness the feelings of change felt by those outside of America and to give people a platform to show their support for democracy.
As they say on the fundraising page:
Energised, hopeful, excited? American voter or not, there’s an air of optimism and belief in the possibilities of the future.
Let’s transform those feelings into real change.
