It’s the left’s secret weapon in the continuing resistance.
While Facebook is getting a lot of the credit for making last weekend’s Women’s March happen, a somewhat obscure tech platform called the Action Network was critical to organizers’ efforts. And in the wake of that worldwide protest, the platform is already helping to push the movement forward.
A nonprofit created by progressives who hoped to build a political movement with staying power, the Action Network offers tools for sending emails, organizing marches and events, fundraising, creating petitions, conducting surveys and connecting with other organizers. Activists who use the tools can keep all the email lists and other data they gather ― a feature that Facebook and most other platforms don’t offer.
More than 650 women’s marches in more than 50 countries were organized using the site’s tools last Saturday, according to the network’s own data.
“This was the largest mobilization we’ve ever seen,” Brian Young, the Action Network’s co-founder, told The Huffington Post. Millions of people around the world turned out to march, according to multiple estimates.
Many of the Women’s March organizers used the Action Network’s tools to create embeddable sign-up widgets and maps, like the ones below, that helped spread the word about the events.

Kinda like Ex-Lax....................
Would this be like Cankles’ secret weapon, “Ada,” that proved Orca-like?
I remember when the Million Man's March was going to change the world. It, too, produced nothing despite John Podhoretz’s love of the million vagina march.
Does it include a “stupid off” app?
Sounds like a BOT to me

Hackers already have the emails to be used in future prosecutions and investigations
Leftist Loons bump for later....

What's wrong with MiraLAX?
And here I thought the secret weapon was lies.
Were they using it for the election too?
Widgets instead of workable ideas or solutions. Good luck with that Progressos.
Can’t be too much of a secret if HuffPo knows about it.
No they don’t. If any of this fake crap was true it would have been used already. Trump is crushing them every day.
We have a better “secret” weapon it is called the truth. Well it is a secret from the extremist left they have no idea that truth even exists.
Nobody ever mentions that this march was to be celebrating HRC’s victory and planned months ago, hotels/flights booked and paid for, etc, until she lost. Does anybody believe half a million women could book DC hotels and flights with a week’s notice?
Hasn’t been a secret for over a decade now, if you have half a brain...
