Technology Development and Messaging for the Progressive Community

Faith Voices for the Common Good proposes collaborating with The New Press to integrate traditional publishing with innovative online technologies; to expand the number and impact of progressive books; and to facilitate grassroots conversations of progressive ideas, both online nationally and offline in local communities. In partnership with The New Press, using its proprietary software, Synanim, Faith Voices will create an echo chamber effect around new progressive ideas by broadening and more deeply engaging progressive audiences and developing a line of books on progressive religion, as well as developing new forms and uses of social software technologies. Such an integration of traditional and innovative communications strategies will allow for widespread impact of progressive ideas and strategies, which can supplement or bypass traditional, mainstream, broadcast-media marketing approaches. This infrastructure component will influence the way progressive messaging, community building, and mobilization are done in the future, helping to bring about long-term social change.
