About
(For all tech questions, please go here)
Welcome to Act For Love, the online personals service that lets you take action while getting action. The idea is simple. Everyone wants to meet their perfect match. And in recent years, millions have turned to online personals services as a way to do that.
So we figured, why not channel all that energy towards some good? Why not create a site where 100% of the profits were specifically earmarked to support progressive activism? And why not offer activists the chance to meet… other activists?
Who We Are
ActForLove.org is led by John Hlinko, a long-time Internet activist and founder of the activist community Left Action, and Leigh Stringer, an architect focused on sustainability, and the author of the book, The Green Workplace.
John has helped lead a range of cause-oriented efforts in the past, including DraftWesleyClark.com, DraftObama.org, MoveOn.org and the satirical “Students for a Drug-Free White House.” Of late, he has been particularly active in using Facebook for activism. He has appeared on CNN, NBC, and a range of other venues to speak about creative grassroots strategies.
John and Leigh live in Washington, DC. They were married in October of 2004. And yes… they met online.
Getting Specific
At Act For Love, we aim to make the world a better place by:
- Donating 100% of our profits to support progressive activism
- Starting our own activist campaigns for causes without champions;
- Building a network of activist singles — and turning them into activist doubles.
Our Partners
ActForLove.org is proud to partner with Left Action, a network of over 1,000,000 progressive activists.
