Members and Friends of UNA San Francisco Chapter:
UNA-SF is developing a new brand of social media to bring the UNA community together, starting here in San Francisco. We call it the Voices of Humanity (VoH) project and see it as the beginning of a grand adventure into cyber-space with touchdown expected in a few years on an entirely new planet called Earth-United-as-One.
We are now in pre-launch stages, checking out the equipment and things are looking good. To participate, click in to the Voices of Humanity - Order out of Chaos discussion. The discussion has recently entered into the “How to Get There!” decision period with two groups participating: UNA-SF and The Steering Committee.
The “How to Get There!” decision period is looking for your ideas how the VoH project might best proceed. Please click “Start New Thread” once you are online to add your suggestion to the mix and participate as you can through August as we select one of our suggestions to be our guide going forward. The intent is to actually follow the top rated advice from the decision period. As UNA-SF Communications Chair, I will keep everyone informed on exactly what we are doing to implement the winning advice.
In a decision period we trade around our candidate messages and vote on them. At the end of August, each group will have a winning message and there will be one winning message from the combined groups. There will also be one winning message from the women, one from the men, from youth, middle-aged (billed as the voice of experience) and seniors (voice of wisdom).
After you have clicked in you can press the "Results" button at the top of the forum page to see how the voting is shaping up. As it is now the overall winning message was written by someone from The Steering Committee. Let’s see what we here at UNA-SF can do. Here is the top rated message so far:

How to be Heard
Social networking sites are a great way to spread information and interact with people. Although people of all ages are active on social networking sites such as facebook and twitter, it is mainly popular with young adults. And who better to reach out to? My generation are the next leaders, or so we're told, and it's important that we get young people interested in topics that matter. I believe that a great way to attract attention to Intermix would be to create accounts that represent it on other sites, such as making a "like" page on facebook. There should be one specific person in charge of this at first and then maybe branching out as it grows.
------------------------------------------
The purpose of the Voices of Humanity project is to transcend our national and religious identities, and develop a heartfelt sense of human unity. The idea is not just to talk about it, but to actually get it done by sparking the development of a massive global citizen's movement that will end poverty and war, and build an equitable, prosperous and sustainable global economy. See the voicesofhumanity.org website for more information.
Since we are still in beta test, you may well have suggestions for improvement, or something might even break. If anything like that happens, it is important that you let me know by email.
Thanks so much,
