Facebook founder launches political advocacy group
Other
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has launched a new political advocacy group on Thursday to use social-media tools to mobilize public support for immigration reform, better schools and more funding for scientific research.
Calling itself FWD.us, or Forward U.S., the group puts immigration at the top of its priority list.
Zuckerberg believes that current rules force too many foreign students to leave the United States after earning math and science degrees in America, and don't provide enough visas for immigrants who are skilled tech workers and entrepreneurs.
The list of the group's supporters includes, among others, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman and Google chairman Ron Conway.
