Get involved locally with WhatDoTheyKnow.com and GroupsNearYou.com

mySociety.org is introducing two new citizen activist websites: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/ and http://www.groupsnearyou.com/. Both focus on local activities, from your neighborhood, street or town. Meet and keep in touch with your neighbors and issues, and improve your quality of life. Even though mySociety.org is based in England, they are encouraging people around the world to: (1) find out what your local government bodies know about what is happening in your area, and (2) join or start a local citizens group and to add it to their online directory.

This is a chance for you to make a difference in your local community.
