I'll be brief. Please recommend this diary by Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse -- Script Drive: DK Community Connects With Offline Communities.
It deserves to be the 'Recommended List.'
This excellent diary recounts many examples in recent months where by organizing blogathons and collaborating with policy experts and political activists in a number of areas, Daily Kos (that would be you) has made a real and tangible difference in improving people's lives.
Importantly, it urges you to support an incredible and noble effort, in which your help is also needed.

Speaking of access to the internet, there's another live-saving DK project underway right now but without a massive push of support, we might not win.
TheFatLadySings has proposed an excellent measure to win a grant of $50,000 to decrease the digital divide: "Rural communities and communities of color live behind the digital divide. They don’t have access to the same online organizing tools as white, urban upper- and middle-class neighborhoods." This grant will pay to send leaders of community health coalitions to NN12 to learn about online organizing tools that can be used to end disparities in health care and will also send two members of Native American Netroots to NN12 who could not otherwise attend.
This is how to register so that you can vote each day:
