We are living in a time where civil society has a
hybrid form.

On one sideHistoric networks based on longterm
relationships and powered by formal nonprofits.
On the otherShort-lived networks created by strangers

The Trayvon Martin campaign is a case study in listening and adaptation.

Hoodie symbol came from the
digital campaign.
