Anilbhai
As I talked to you, Our current focus is just to provide help to ALL RTI activists ...This is a very small team, working with limited resources.
At a later stage, as we grow, we would like to take up other causes.
For now, We just want to take up one thing  and do it right !
So ..
These are three areas, we currently are doing great and would NOT like to add more people to it (For Now, atleast)
  • We are already in talks with Lawyers and Chartered Accountants in India to setup an NGO.The NGO documentations/bylaws/mission stt. etc. are almost ready
  • We have enough funds currently, to help us survive for the next  1 year.
  • We have a team of people who are already in the implementation phase of the website development. We should go-live by sometime next week.Please check this website of ours .. This is currently in development phase and is undergoing changes. But will give u an idea of what we are and what we plan to achieve.             http://getup4change.org/rti
The Mission/Goal is to get people in India, who want to file for RTI's can do it anonymously.
They provide us questions and other details .. We get those "incriminating docs" and upload them to this website.
After that, various media/PIL lawyers can take off from there .. .

What we need now "DESPERATELY" is the following .. and would be grateful and indebted if your team of 15+ committed volunteers can help us out
  • Spreading awareness of RTI and Murdered RTI activists
    • By writing Articles in English or Hindi (If written in Hindi, it should be in particular fonts and not google transliterate, since the newspapers, we are dealing with, cannot work with google transliterate).
    • Making 2-3 minute sarcastic & humorous audio/videos on any social issues like corruption/RTI etc. that can be made viral on facebook and also played on online and FM radio stations.
    • Printing Posters of Shehla Masood or any other Killed RTI Activists and inserting it in newspapers in Indian Cities and pasting it in cafe's and theaters
    • Contact other RTI activists (and or their family ) in various towns and ask them to send CD's or simply photocopies(xeroxes) of the incriminating docs (These will be uploaded to the website, once its ready )
  • Embarass and Expose Politicians.
    • Use Vonage or other free Voip to make phone calls to specific responsible politicians and ask them why Amith Jethva's killers or Shehla Masood's killers or the other killed RTI activist's killers are not yet booked ?
    • Use your smart-phone, to record these conversations and upload it to facebook and let us make it viral
    • Contact Indian TV channels with these recorded conversations and ask them to play it on TV (believe me this works with state based TV channels like TV9 etc... The NDTV/Star's are little hesitant though, depending on how much masala u provide them)
Looking forward to working with you and let us all deliver some real visible results and change the current system ..

Regards
Anand
