great online resources

Your Greenham Common - A gorgeous and inspiring online archive of women's peace activism and community at Greenham Common in the UK. A permanent peace camp was held outside the perimeter fence of the US Air base from 1981 until after the missiles were removed in 1987. NB you'll require Flash and a fast internet connection to view this site, which includes numerous short films, photos, songs and articles.

Advocacy Evaluation Update Issue #4 - The fourth edition of the 'Advocacy Evaluation Update' is now online, with useful resources, links and downloads including the Innovation Network's latest report 'Speaking for Themselves: Advocates’ Perspectives on Evaluation'. The authors surveyed more than 200 nonprofit groups engaged in advocacy and found that only one in four has evaluated its work. The remaining 75 percent do not systematically collect information to inform their advocacy strategy.
