As a follow up to my post on MLK papers [Jan 14, 09]: I cannot think of a more timely and civically-minded government-run online media service than this one…

The interactive website, complete with a videoed call for action on MLK Day from Michelle Obama, says:

“This website is designed to help promote these events and for Americans to make their commitments, build communities, find opportunities to serve and share their results. These can be events that engage people in direct service, or bring people together to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy and how they can commit to becoming more engaged citizens. Please create an event or sign up to volunteer today.”

ln fact, by definition, the whole online project is in a similar C4FCM spirit, as the resources-rich Blog attests:

Of especial interest are Obama’s very recent [Jan 12] call to citizens to use the site’s tools and resources to take action in their communities, not just on MLK Day but all year round, and a same-day post with instructions and suggestions for people to get involved, that comes with recorded messages from Americans telling about their own civic activities in their community.
The Resources section has great tools too, including a Resource Library and an online list of event ideas.
