On the cause page, we'll build a ticker/marquee of call to actions.

Call to actions:

1. The call to actions are a list of text snippets, each containing a link that does something.

2. The list of call to actions is a union of the following

a. the blurb: "[Join this cause]" - where the entire text is a link to join the cause (this will function exactly like the "Join this cause" button on the left bar).

a2. If the user already joined the cause, replace this call to action with: "← Broadcast our message!" (the arrow is ←)

b. event call to actions. For each active event, there will be a call to action: "Happening soon: [<>]" - where the event name links to the BC event page.

c. wish call to actions. For each active wish, there will be a call to action: "Help out: [<>]" - where the wish summary links to the wish page.

UI:

The marquee might be scrolling text like a stock ticker, or simply text that fades in and out. The exact behavior is not as important so long as it feels "active" - in other words, we should feel free to adapt the spec to whatever third party libraries there are available that do something along these lines. (For example, Armen found this library - http://examples.kevinandre.com/marquee1.0.0/index.html - that might accomplish what we need)
