Palante participates in May Day 2012

Palante Tech will be running at limited capacity on May 1st to allow us to participate alongside our client organizations, allies, and the thousands of others across the United States and around the world organizing for the Occupy general strike and International Workers' Day. We're happy that as a worker-owned cooperative, we were able to bring our shared values and beliefs to this consensus-based decision.

While we intend to be out in the streets, we're also committed to maintaining our support for clients who are integral to the struggles and movements we'll be participating in that day. Therefore, we will still be working on a very limited basis and responding to emergency support requests. We ask for our clients' understanding for any delays in responding to requests that come in that day.

New Drupal site for Social Justice Leadership

in

It's been the usual state of affairs on the Palante website for a while (the cobbler's children have no shoes and all), but don't let the inactivity fool you – we've been plenty busy! One awesome example of what we've been up to is the recently launched Drupal 7 website for Social Justice Leadership, an amazing organization that works with other grassroots organizations across the country to develop and implement a transformative organizing framework for social change.

The site was built by us at Palante Tech along with Michelle Murrain on development and Claudina Sarahe on theming. The design is by the talented folks at Hazan + Company. We also created an integrated and highly-customized CiviCRM implementation for SJL so that they can seamlessly manage their communication and relationships with their contacts in one place. We worked closely with SJL throughout the project and developed a great relationship with them in the process, so we were thrilled to see the site launch and look forward to continuing to work with them.

Soon to come: an actual portfolio so that we can show the world more of what keeps us so busy!Read more »
