New Tactics Dialogues are a powerful Information Tool
I have been affiliated with the Center for Victims of Torture (CVT)'s New Tactics Project since January 2009 and I must appreciate the enormous knowlege that I have gained from working with Nancy Pearson and Kristin Antin particularly with the Dialogues tactics.
Most importantly is the amount of critical information that one gets from across the world through practitioners who took part in the dialogues on election monitoring, Human Trafficking and The Healing of Memories.

Sharing Tactical Experiences is Helpful
I would like first to acknowledge that mobile phone technologies have taken Africa by storm. The technology has raised new possibilities for activism by human rights and social justice organisations and for service delivery in fields such as health care, banking and agricultural information.
Tech work - It is Human Rights work too!
I am new to the Human Rights community. I work in technology and have
had a long career in technology in the corporate world; this is my
first time working in a non-profit Human Rights organization. By
joining New Tactics I have learned about the Human Rights field and its
work. By participating in the on-line dialogues, I have learned about
how to bring my work tasks – those tech tasks – and think about how
those tasks are truly part of the Human Rights work world.
