Ruby Sinreich founded OrangePolitics.org in 2003 to encourage residents of Orange County, NC to get involved in local politics by offering informed, progressive perspectives on local and regional issues. Active participants on the blog include local elected officials, community leaders, nascent and veteran activists, and a smattering of journalists brave enough to share their thoughts online.

Professionally, Ruby specializes in strategies that connect people to each other, sometimes known as “network-centric advocacy,” “social media,” “Web 2.0,” or “grassroots organizing,” depending upon what type of geek one is. She has helped hundreds of progressive local, statewide, national, and international nonprofits use technology more effectively in service of their educational, movement-building, and political missions.

Ruby currently works as the Co-Director of Communications at the 93-year-old Fellowship of Reconciliation, an interfaith organization working for a world of peace and justice through active nonviolence.
