Marshall Kirkpatrick interviews Gillo Cutrepi, a Greenpeace hand now doing social-media work for other nonprofits. Great piece -- two guys very knowledgeable about both np advocacy work and emerging tech talking at a high level.
"Books We Like is activist e-commerce and collective intelligence. It's a non-profit service for book (and music and film) lovers, for promoting and discovering great stuff, and for supporting social-change non-profits through your online purchases."
"As voluntary associations fade from our cultural landscape, political participation is threatened, especially on the left, says sociologist Marshall Ganz." Really interesting Grist interview about how to grow (or re-grow) a true movement.
