http://act.greenpeace.org - Greenpeace cyber-activist community weblog, has hundreds of thousands of users, searches on almost any topic will yield something (Google searches will only show official documents). Active discussion of features for activist sites, how to integrate email chat and web, whether to use wikis or annotation, etc.. Active discussion of many different projects, e.g. a DNS reserving the names of all ecoregions. (warning: contains violent minds, who clearly haven't heard of w:RDF)

http://amnesty.org - Amnesty International site, almost as good, but less focused on email campaigns
