(NYTimes article) Coffee Party, With a Taste for Civic Participation, Is Added to the Political Menu

“I’m in shock, just the level of energy here,” said the founder,
Annabel Park, a documentary filmmaker who lives outside Washington. “In
the beginning, I was actively saying, ‘Get in touch with us, start a
chapter.’ Now I can’t keep up. We have 300 requests to start a chapter
that I have not been able to respond to.”

Beyond the articles intention of suggesting dialogue as a preferred method for social change, I think this article illustrates the viral power of the internet. How can we as conflict resolution practitioners take advantage of this entity to change the paradigm of society in terms of how they address the conflicts in their lives?
