New Report Reveals how MoveOn's 3.2 million voters impacted elections

MoveOn's new report, Election 2006: People Powered Politics, is worth serious consideration for several reasons. First and foremost, they helped take back the House and shake up key Republican strongholds, through their impressive use of on-line and off-line organizing. The result: Moveon's 3.2 million volunteer made 7 million phone calls, organized 7,500 house parties, and launched 6,000 in-district events. They also raised and spent $27 million in this two-year election cycle, with mostly small donors. The list continues. How did they do this?

Liveblogging Your Nonprofit Web Site Redesign

Via the nptech tag stream comes word of Designing Inward Out, "a public diary of a non-profit's website redesign process," a young blog unspooling for months to come with the searchingly expository particulars of what the first post calls "the underbelly of a project."
