We talked about alternatives to guilt-driven advocacy -- new ways that folks can engage in ways that are creative, fun and social. The panel moderated by Alexis Ohanian, and featured some great folks: Zach Walker from Donors Choose, Andrew Slack from the Harry Potter Alliance, and Michael Norton from the Harvard Business School. For my part, I talked a little bit about what we're doing with
