Action Diary Rescue is a weekly roundup of activism opportunities for anyone looking to make the easy jump from blogger to doer, highlighting the efforts of other Kossacks to mobilize.

One more thing --- if you're reading this and have TU status, can you do me a favor? When you see a diary with an action item, can you add the tag "action" to it? It would make them easier to track down later.
