Act Digital
Act Digital is the online branch of Actua.pe which aims to connect and organize activism that combats inequality and to monitor the public polies and other government decisions that affect this cause. The platform was created in 2016 and established three clear lines of action. First, it is meat to articulate the plethora of civil society organizations, alternative media outlets and social activist groups that fight against inequality in order to create a minimum agenda around this issue. Second, there is a constant monitor and evaluation of political promises made in electoral campaigns for presidency, local governments and legislative representation. Finally, the platform has a strong component of digital activism by creating campaigns and innovative communication strategies for online and offline mobilization. The initiative includes over 50 civil society organizations, alternative media outlets and social activist groups that collaborate and curate the content on the platform.
