As more and more people move online, the opportunity for communities to form
around specific areas of interest makes perfect sense. Activism is a perfect
example, in that groups of people tend to coalesce around specific causes and/or
concerns. Once there is a large enough group of people, the opportunity for
friendship and romance increases.
When the focus of a site revolves
around a particular issue, it gives people the opportunity to meet one another,
and from there it is really just a matter of chemistry as to whether or not
interpersonal relationships evolve.
The sites listed on this page have
Activism as their main component in bringing people together. Each site is
unique, with some focusing primarily on dating, while others focus more on
social networking. So, if you are passionate about social change, and you would
like to surround yourself with other people who feel the same way...you are in
the right area!
