We need your feedback on domain names for the sylvan lake declaration project!

2 we are considering: 

www.thetimeisnow.ca 

www.weareprogressives.ca

Please send me any feedback or other suggestions!! Much appreciated :)

Short update on the project: 

Leah (calgary 3), Katie (calgary 1), and I have been working on a website for the sylvan lake declaration. We have also been working on building 2 maps that will go on the website. 

One is a mindmeister map of progressive work (e.g. climate change, union organizing, community gardens), with short explanations of what all the different works are. 

The second map is one of Canada where we can put 'pins' that mark individual/organization progressive work. We are hoping to have their (short) stories and also contact info/website link when you hover your mouse on top of the pin. 

We are hoping to have a breakout session of some sort at the gathering.

Nice initiative Edith.

I much prefer the latter. I think it is a great name. I like how it is a statment of shared community, and a clear positioning about what this about. I do wonder if singularizing it would make it an even greater sense of solidarity weareprogressive.com

I like the shared community tone, but I don't know if everyone who we want in our community would identify as "progressive".  I like the urgency of thetimesisnow.

I ditto Jolan. There feels like there is more space for different folks to come together under thetimeisnow.

Good stuff Edith and crew!

Ditto Jolan & Heather. "We are" is also potentially alienating for those that don't identify yet. I'd also highly suggest incorporating the domain name into the Declaration title...or messaging one-liner at very least. You want consistency and for the URL to be repeated, wherever possible (i.e. we at OpenMedia refer to all campaigns by URL - e.g. DemandChoice.ca)
