I read with great interest Amy Luckey’s (of Blueprint R+D) article, Grantmaking 2.0: Using New Technology to Enhance Grantmaker Practices, published this month on the Grantmaker’s for Effective Organization’s website. And not just because I am one of the experts she interviewed—I admit to being in good company and, as usual, feeling like I learn more from our interaction than I contributed.

Thought this would interest people: Former CTFC grantee the Ella Baker Center’s Silence the Violence project is still working hard to involve youth and media technology to stop the flood of violence in Oakland. Recent events include Turf Unity (a youth media training), a fundraiser at the home of former Oakland City Council candidate Aimee Allison, and the kick-off 2007 Silence the Violence party.
