"I will if you will" Earth Hour Campaign

The Social Media Campaign I chose is Earth Hour. It is a first-time launching of a new platform called “I Will If You Will” on YouTube for Earth Hour 2012, which lets users challenge others to take an environmentally friendly action for the planet.
Earth Hour, now in its sixth year, encourages people to turn off their lights for 60 minutes one day a year. It’s celebrated annually on March 31 between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. This year, the campaign is hoping its impact will last more than one hour.
 The “I Will If You Will” campaign is hosted by YouTube and was spearheaded by the Earth Hour founders, the World Wildlife Foundation and Leo Burnett. Supermodel Miranda Kerr is also on board.

There are 130 countries involved.

Jusice for Trayvon Martin: Hoodies Up

"On the rainy evening of February 26th, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman inside his own gated Sanford, Florida community where he was living with his father, stepmother and little brother.

It's reported that Trayvon left his house with a hoodie on to grab some snacks (an iced-tea and Skittles) at a local corner store. After leaving the store to return home, he was followed by Zimmerman, a volunteer watch captain who thought that the 17-year-old looked suspicious and threatening. He called 911 to alert them of his suspicions and asked if he thought he should follow the boy, the police said no. "

Martin was followed by neighborhood watch man Zimmerman and shot and killed: this case of racial profiling and injustice has sparked one of the largest movements across the U.S. and on social media, majorly Facebook.
So many people have been fired up about this and have been posting pictures with their hoodies up and holding rallies everywhere.  GlobalGrind.com started to create this page for a community to grow around the calls for justice and to give people a platform to speak their minds.
