The Mean Streets of the Homeland Security State-let

If you think your cause or organization is immune from the new security state, I highly recommend you read Nick Turse' article on NYC, the NYPD, the RNC, and Me. Every nonprofit worth supporting represents some expression of personal passion for change or service and depends upon our freedom to organize and our freedom to speak to each other. Follow some of the links. Think that you work on something "nonpolitical" and are therefore safe? Think again.

YouTube Nonprofit Program

Youtube launched a nonprofit program last week, to much less fanfare than I would have expected. I suspect this is partly in preparation for adding advertising to many of the videos on the site, but that doesn't mean it won't be useful for some organizations. My main worry, of course, is about the effect of centralized services such as Google on freedom of expression in repressive times such as ours and I fear that some civil society organizations will abandon their more "controversial" cousins in favor of free hosting. Despite all this, it's good to see Google continuing to build its support for nonprofit organizations.

Peace, Nonviolence and Empowerment Gandhian Philosophy in the 21st Century

This Summer, the United Nations declared Tuesday, October 2nd, the very first International Day of Nonviolence. (The 2nd is Mohandes Gandhi's birthday and I have often observed it as such a day. It's exciting to me to have it be official.) The idea emerged earlier this year at a conference in India on Peace, Nonviolence and Empowerment Gandhian Philosophy in the 21st Century. Nonviolence is one of those rare concepts that is both aspiration and strategy in one and as such it has the potential to once more play a role in unifying causes into movements.
