Hammer Blow Might Strike Nonprofits?
A roomful of Washington liberals plotting to get back in power is just the place to be when news comes down the pike that Tom DeLay's been indicted. Simon Rosenberg made the announcement to a round of applause at the latest New Politics Institute forum -- good events worth coming out to if you happen to be based in D.C. You can lay hands on the video from the last one, if you're favorably inclined to chatter about the "Post Broadcast Media" world (not as boring as it sounds); unlike the live performance, the .wmv version doesn't come with free lunch.

Society Page: Groundspring, Network For Good Tie The Knot
After a couple months of murmuring sweet nothings, Network For Good and Groundspring finally took the plunge with a merger, the former in effect absorbing the latter.
We have no official take on this outside of "wait and see." Groundspring's happy-face FAQ on the matter is here. Network For Good is a larger, apolitical institution with a general mission of connecting people with nonprofits.

DemocracyInAction absorbs periodic lifeboats from Groundspring's Advocacy Now module, which went to Davey Jones' locker a few months back; the rest of its toolset is regrettably "siloed" but it will, at least, continue to exist for now.
