Zemanta, the cool add-on blogging tool is running a competition to encourage blogging for worthwhile causes. The five blogs that get the most votes will each win $3,000.
I vote for Global Voices Advocacy because they strive to make sure that ”manuscripts don’t burn” in the digital era - to borrow a phrase from Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita.
I vote in admiration of the great job they have been doing in raising awareness of the attacks against online freedom of speech. In addition, the support they have given to activists and bloggers around the world with tools and tactics to face censorship and other dangers is very much appreciated.
Global Voices Advocacy is a project of Global Voices Online.
One of the few groups that works directly with global bloggers on the frontlines of free speech is Global Voices Advocacy. It’s a blog run by Sami ben Gharbia, who is himself a blogger in exile, together with a great community of authors.
