Wikileaks - We open governments One of the biggest organizations of this Politics 2.0 era is Wikileaks. Fighting for the freedom of information and to reveal governments' secrets, it has caused severe damage to the secrecy of some governments through its short history. In Wikileaks website you'll find an incredible amount of documents made public by them. http://www.wikileaks.ch/

Anonymous - We are Legion A complete new phenomenon in politics and the perfect example of what the era of information can do in order to help changing the political situation. Anonymous is a descentralized and leaderless organization of activists and hacktivists that supports many not defined causes, like freedom of information or the Arab Spring. The first posted video was this one, against the Church of Scientology, though many other videos and campaigns came afterwards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCbKv9yiLiQ

The Occupy Movement - We are the 99% This is another big prove of the change that new technologies are bringing to politics. It's a leaderless and international protest movement. The main subject they fight against is social and economic inequality, as a consequence of the vast control of corporations. There have been protests in over 30 countries around the world related to this movement. This website (there can't be an official one when it's leaderless) will give you lots of information, articles, videos, and even a worldwide directory for you to join the movement http://www.occupy.com/

Avaaz - The World in Action Avaaz is the biggest global civic organization, with more than 26 million members around the world. They do have a leadership, but every member can suggest a global campaign, and if a suggestion receives a positive response from other members, the campaign is started. In their official website you'll have some media material, the current campaigns and you can also become a member or start a petition http://www.avaaz.org/
