We’re delighted to announce two new launches of the last month, the progressive and activist journalism site Waging Nonviolence, and the fresh, exciting classical music guild Concert Artists Guild.
Waging Nonviolence’s exciting mission:
Waging Nonviolence is a source for original news and analysis about struggles for justice and peace around the globe. Ordinary people build power using nonviolent strategies and tactics every day, even under the most difficult of circumstances, yet these stories often go unnoticed or misunderstood by a media industry fixated on violence and celebrity.
Concert Artist Guild’s mission is also one of helping the community:
Founded in 1951 with a mission to discover, nurture & promote young musicians, Concert Artists Guild helps artists launch sustainable careers. CAG provides support to a roster of talented artists during a critical and formative time: between completion of formal studies and the achievement of an established career.

2013 has arrived! We’ve got our share of resolutions, working on more plugins to contribute to the WordPress community and redesigning our site behind the scenes. Of course, we’ll keep up our work with nonprofits, foundations, small businesses, and startups as we enter our sixth year in business here in Brooklyn.
What are your resolutions? Are you gearing up to redesign or redevelop your website? Need a CMS (Content Management System) so that you can edit and control your own content? Social Ink can help.
Our model is simple. We work closely with your organization over the course of a few months, building your new website in a system that will give you full control of your content, both copy and multimedia. When our work is done, the website is yours, and can be maintained in-house by non-technical staff.
We work with you to analyze your information architecture, interface design, search engine optimization and communications strategy and can help you reinvent your outreach with a new visual identity and web platform. We can help you accept in-site payments or implement ECommerce, set up dynamic multimedia and social network integration, setup events management, or advanced search and filtering system.
Give us a shout. We’d love to discuss what we can do for you.
Happy New Year!

Important launch announcement: the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act Defense Fund is live and seeking donations to help fight against the current absurd internet and communications regulations governing American citizens. The recent trial of United States v. Auernheimer (That’s Andrew Auernheimer, AKA WEEV), demonstrates the silliness of this law. Did you know that if you are reading this post on our website, and we didn’t explicitly give you permission, you are in violation of US law?
Help bring American law into the digital age. Donate today to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Defense Fund (and free Weev!)
Social Ink is proud to continue our efforts in Community and Education work with the launch of a new website for The Pinkerton Foundation. Established in 1966, the foundation:
supports community-based programs for children, youth and families in economically disadvantaged areas in New York City. Although we consider a wide range of youth development initiatives, Pinkerton favors direct-service programs that have one overriding goal: to help young people reach their full potential.
Most of the programs we support take place in the after-school, weekend or summer hours and focus on providing opportunities for academic development, career readiness and cultural enrichment. We also support a number of programs that offer a way forward for young people after an encounter with the criminal justice system or years in foster care.
