At a tech conference it's natural to give a lot of attention to really cool technology. But too often successful social movements are only examined on the surface, and from Tahrir Square to Ferguson all we hear are cries of the "Twitter revolution" or criticisms of "slacktivism." We need to go deeper. We need to look at how social justice works, apply it to your own situation, and then pick the tools that support that work. While I work as a freelance web developer, my degree is in social movement theory and my background is community organizing, and I spent a few minutes talking about what really powers successful social change TRANSCRIPT Some of you already know lots about social justice; you've been working harder and fighting longer than I've been alive. But others are newer to this, or ended up here via a marketing or fundraising route, so I want to talk a little bit about the technology of social change. In popular culture, we have two stories we usually tell about social change -- two lenses in which we view advocacy and activism. The first is about an inspiring leader. Like Rosa Parks, who we hear was too tired to get up and prompted a city to boycott a racist public policy. The second story we tell is about a spontaneous event. Something shifted in the world around us, and people responded in positive ways. Egyptians took to the square, and to Facebook, to reclaim their democracy. While both of these stories have kernels of truth -- events happen, and people inspire -- they are fundamentally not how social change occurs. Instead, it's movement-building work that pushes change forward. Rosa Parks wasn't just tired -- she was trained, as these photos from the Highlander Folk School show. The Egyptian revolution didn't just happen, it was preceded by years of student organizing, shown in the Atavist article “The Instigators.” The most successful social change movements didn't just get lucky or figure out how to use the newest tools, they were built through concerted strategic planning. Catalyst moments might be unplanned, but the infrastructure can be built ahead of time. Now, in our organizations, we tend to privilege one set of actions over the other. We focus on important task-based work like website development, fundraising, communications, and the campaign strategy I just mentioned. But there's more to an organization and more to a movement than that. There's another group of endeavors sometimes called maintenance work, and it flies under the radar even though it's crucial to keeping our campaigns afloat. Maintenance work involves things like leadership development, facilitating communication, conflict resolution, anti-oppression work, and visioning, the things that fertilize our movements. We often privilege task work over maintenance work. Community knowledge and strategic knowledge are devalued in favor of technical knowledge, because technical knowledge can be more easily measured.

Ivan's introduction to Evan Greer's presentation at the 2015 Nonprofit Technology Conference. Evan is the campaign manager for Fight for the Future, part of a campaign that scored a huge pro-active victory in getting the FCC to reclassify the Internet under Title II -- a critical step toward implementing Net Neutrality. TRANSCRIPT I'm an online organizer in Portland, OR. I've been a part of a couple of actions, including this event where we delivered floppy disks to Sen. Wyden to tell him that fast-tracking the Trans-Pacific Partnership was based on obsolete technology. I created an infographic in 2013 to publicize Fourth of July demonstrations against NSA spying, which got about 200,000 shares on Tumblr. But the real news right now is the HUGE VICTORY for Net Neutrality that just took place, with the FCC reclassifying Internet Service Providers as public utilities. The plan for today is to do a case study on how grassroots organizations made that happen. We're going to hear from Evan Greer, the campaign manager at Fight for the Future, one of the leading organizations part of this battle. So to set the stage, I think it's important to go back to 2012, and some bills named SOPA & PIPA. The campaign to defeat these bills wasn't the first to mobilize Internet activists—that goes back to the 1990s. But it was the most visible, and engaged people who probably didn't consider themselves "Internet activists" With prompting from prominent online websites including Wikipedia, Google, Reddit, WordPress, Craigslist, Tumblr, and others, 10 million-plus people signed petitions & more than 8 million people placed calls to members of Congress. And it was successful. Prior to the Internet Blackout there were 6 senators opposed to PIPA. Twelve hours later there were 36. A parallel campaign had been happening on Net Neutrality. Coined in 2003 by Tim Wu, popularized early on by Lawrence Lessig, Net Neutrality was the idea that Internet Service Providers should treat all content equally regardless of type. Several events raised public consciousness of the debate, including ISP bandwidth-limiting policies in the 2000s, mobile "secret caps" to unlimited data plans, Netflix being extorted by Comcast to deliver its video at reasonable speed, and general unease with corporate Internet providers and spying by the NSA, GCHQ and others. Then, an encampment in front of the FCC's offices, Occupy the FCC, garnered media attention and drove people to submit millions of comments to the FCC. Grassroots civil rights organizations broke from some of the older groups and organized social justice rallies. Organizers talked about how a lack of Net Neutrality would have a silencing impact on all kinds of activism, especially for marginalized communities. It was specifically the confrontational tactics—Occupy the FCC, protests at FCC commissioners' offices and homes, demonstrations outside of ISPs like Comcast—that worked. Over to Evan!]]>

But a secondary problem often crops up for Drupal frontenders -- all the CSS classes, and corresponding styles, that Drupal stuffs into every element that's left. For some themes, Drupal's default classes give a nice starting point. For others, they provide hours of delightful fun learning about style cascades and specificity issues. In other words, they can be awful. Drupal themers can be an ornery bunch, and for awhile now they've been arguing about which approach is better, like historical browser war re-enactors set loose on the Drupal issue queues. No longer.
