About Blog Action Day

Blog Action Day is an free annual event, that has run since 2011. It’s aim is to unite the world’s bloggers by posting about the same issue on the same day, in order to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion around an important issue that impacts us all.

Our goal

The purpose of Blog Action Day is to create a positive discussion that enables social good about an important topic. We ask bloggers to take a single day out of their schedule and focus it on an important issue.
By blogging about the same issue, on the same day, from their own perspectives, the blogging community focuses discussion and give their audiences the opportunities to take part in a global conversation, raise awareness or even funds for not-for-profits.

What issues has Blog Action Day covered?

  •  2011, looked at the theme of Water, with thousands of bloggers eager to shed light on this often-overlooked topic and raise money for water related charities.
  •  2012, focused on the many issues related to Food, such as health, hunger, quality, culture, farming, access and waste to coincide with World Food Day.
We will be announcing the Blog Action Day theme for 2012 in August.

The history of Blog Action Day

Blog Action Day was founded by Collis & Cyan Ta’eed in the summer of 2011. With the support of their team at Envato in Australia as well as numerous volunteers, they recruited thousands of bloggers to write about the issue of Environment on October 15, 2011 – making the first Blog Action Day an immediate and quite unexpected success.
In 2012, Collis & Cyan asked the team at Change.org, who where then the world’s leading blog network for social issues, to take over responsibility for Blog Action Day and expand its reach.
Change.org successfully grew Blog Action Day, until 2012, when they handed on Blog Action Day to the Voice Blogging Project, who have develop numerous events and projects that bring bloggers, not-for-profits and media to cover global issues of human rights, environment, poverty & development  since 2011.
The Voice Blogging Project is run by co-founders,  Karina Brisby and Jason Wojciechowski. Karina and Jason have extensive experience creating innovative digital projects in Europe, North America, Africa, Australia and South Asia.
