David Babbs, Executive Director, 38 Degrees advocates the idea that good activism is coming together and achieving impact in the world and impact on people. Bad activism achieves neither. Tools are secondary. David Babbs is the executive director of 38 Degrees, a community of over 700,000 UK citizens who use the internet to organise campaigns on the issues that matter to them. Most recently, 38 Degrees members helped stop the privatisation of England's forests. David previously worked as Head of Activism at Friends of the Earth where he led the mobilisation for the Big Ask campaign, which achieved the world's first Climate Change Law with binding targets. He's previously worked on campaigns on poverty, refugee rights, and social housing.

Lucy Homes felt compelled to act against having photos of topless woman in page three of the UK's Sun newspaper after seeing the contrast between the 'Page Three Girl' and the limited coverage of female athletes around the 2012 Olympics. This is her story of how the campaign has progressed so far (March 2013) and how she used digital tools in that campaign. Update: On Jan 20, 2015, The Sun was reported to have stopped including topless women on Page 3...victory! (they replaced it with women in bikinis so not a total success).
