I'm posting this on behalf of TechSoup's NetSquared project:

Whether you are a technologist or a changemaker, an entrepreneur or
innovator - from any country around the world - we're looking for your
ideas! Social justice covers all sorts of issues, like human rights,
equality, and livability; and we see web and mobile-based
collaborative technologies offering tremendous opportunity to support
social justice work. This is the last week to submit a Project idea to
the FACT Social Justice Challenge - winners receive cash and support
to build their tools!

Submissions close Oct 4th - Share your idea today!

The Fact Social Justice ChallengeOur Challenge theme this year is
“Collaborate for Social Justice." We chose this theme because beneath
all the new platforms, widgets, tools, social media, and innovative
products lies the potential for people to collaborate in new ways with
one another. The FACT Challenge seeks to surface innovative Projects
that leverage web and/or mobile technologies to foster collaboration
around social justice issues: http://netsquared.org/challenges/fact-social-justice-2010
