The Big List of Facebook and Twitter Political Resources
Paul Sanchez speaks at the MoveOn.org Defend the Dream rally at the State Capitol on March 15th, 2011.
Occasionally I have someone ask me where to find information about the latest political events and rallies. If you are new to Facebook or Twitter there are many good resources which you can follow to help you keep up with the latest information.
Below is a list of some of the Facebook pages, groups, and Twitter people I personally follow to see what is going on.
The majority of it is confined to Arizona state politics and immigration law activism. As you can tell, that is one of my favorite topics. If you have other addictions, they are just as easily found by using the search features on your favorite websites or by using Google.
So far these are just pages, groups, and Twitter accounts. There are another several dozen Facebook accounts belonging to local activists which will get you even more information. However, most of them are on these pages and if you find yourself wanting to get more involved with a particular organization, with a little investment of time you can figure out who the key players are and you can go from there.
For now, the list is a bit unordered and not completely formatted. I'm sure I forgot a number of key groups so I'll keep this list updated and improve the resource as I add more later. Also, these links run the gamut of right to left. It's largely progressive but it helps to follow all types of people if you want to keep up with the latest opinions.
