What is "rootsaction.org"

RootsAction.org is a U.S.-based nonprofit progressive online activist group that pushes for policy changes through online petitions and email action pages that generate emails to government officials and other targets. Claiming to eschew partisanship, RootsAction has a decidedly leftist bent, although it has pressured Democrats and Republicans alike, and engaged in very little advocacy for electoral candidates. RootsAction was founded in 2011 by Norman Solomon and Jeff Cohen. It had a half-million members by the end of 2014.
