Faithnet lookin for facebook friends: February 2010
Check out my Facebook profile
Hi All two days ago I set up a Facebook profile where we can post my pictures, videos ,events for social justice music and I want to add you as a friend so you can come check out the many political events on in Toronto and elsewhere and use this tool so we can work together for social justice . Of course facebook was not set up to be a social justice network which was why I stayed away I am still critical of it but I believe it is a useful tool to organize so if you would be willing to, please join me on Facebook! Once you join, you can also create your own profile.
Thanks,
Faith
