An announcement was posted on the New York City Young Nonprofit Professionals Network yesterday about an Internet provider called May First/People Link.  Here's their mission from the web site:

We are an organization of progressive people who use the Internet. We have joined together to improve our access to it, enhance its function as a tool for mass communication and organizing, develop new technologies and uses for it, and help social justice movements use it effectively to communicate with each other and with the world.

They also have some interesting news on their front page about a program in Venezuela to train 400,000 people in open source software and the 7th Annual Organizers' Collaborative Grassroots Use of Technology Conference  happening at UMass Boston this Saturday.
