One of my most recent cause-oriented speeches was at last month’s Mashable Social Good Conference. The Summer of Good campaign, which raised a total of more than $55,000 equally benefiting LiveSTRONG, The Humane Society, WWF, and Oxfam America, came to a close at the Social Good Conference on August 28th, 2009.
In addition to the above video, below find my PPT for the event dubbed, “Movements Begin Within.”
In addition, those interested in social change on the Eastern sea board may want to attend Social Change Camp NYC this Saturday, September 26. SocialChangeCamp is a conference for forward-thinking public interest organizations seeking new and diverse ways to leverage technology to recruit volunteers, build communities, inspire grassroots movements, reach donors, and facilitate effective advocacy.
The event empowers socially conscious organizations with channels and techniques that help them find relevance and accessibility in social media and related technology, regardless of their current levels of engagement. By educating, empowering, and connecting our community members, we act as a catalyst for social change.
I’m going at the suggestion of friend and organizer Damien Basile.

One never knows how a social media campaign will evolve, and the Live Earth “Love, the Climate” effort is no different. One of the surprising aspects of the current effort is the popularity of photos, providing the top submission method over voicemails, videos and text messages on the Facebook page.
