Knowledge Activists are a new breed of community workers who make use of the knowledge and caring we each have to contribute. Not everyone wishes to march on the capitol or knock on doors. In every town, there are caring hearts and minds who can help clean up the messy information environment and help communities to feel confident and be more constructive. We do this by collectively discerning the facts and profiling the players and forces at work.
