Retour sur le phénomène Meetup

Le site Meetup est un site généraliste dont l’objectif est de mettre en relation des gens partageant des passions ou des goûts similaires par le biais du réseau internet. L’utilisation de Meetup en matière politique s’est développée depuis 2003 : regroupement de militants au niveau local et national, ou rassemblements derrière les candidats comme Howard Dean. L’inscription sur le site de Meetup est simple : il suffit d’inscrire son code postal et une vingtaine de groupes « Meetup » de son quartier apparaissent à l’écran. La liberté est laissée à l’internaute d’indiquer autant d’informations personnelles qu’il le souhaite. La distance de l’endroit des réunions est indiquée en miles, les profils de tous les autres membres s’affichent, et annoncent leur affiliation et leurs idéologies politiques, en mentionnant aussi leurs hobbies et leur situation familiale. Le concept de Meetup donne le sentiment que la politique fait partie intégrante de notre vie quotidienne, davantage qu’un simple hobby. Or l’engagement politique par Meetup ne nécessite pas d’être militant actif ou de s’engager clairement pour un parti ; Meetup peut aussi permettre de défendre certaines valeurs qui concernent la politique au sens large, telles que l’égalité homme-femme, les droits des animaux, ou tout simplement de se faire des amis.

get involved locally

learn, teach, and share things

make friends and have fun

rise up, stand up, unite, and make a difference

be a part of something bigger —both locally and globally

We're proud to give more power to the people.

We believe it's possible to make a profit and make a difference.
