City Lights is an independent bookstore-publisher combination in San Francisco, California, that specializes in world literature, the arts, and progressive politics. It also houses the nonprofit City Lights Foundation, which publishes selected titles related to San Francisco culture. It was founded in 1953 by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Peter D. Martin (who left two years later). Both the store and the publishers became widely known following the obscenity trial of Ferlinghetti for publishing Allen Ginsberg's influential collection Howl and Other Poems (City Lights, 1956). Nancy Peters started working there in 1971 and retired as executive director in 2007. In 2001, City Lights was made an official historic landmark. City Lights is located at 261 Columbus Avenue, on the nexus of North Beach and Chinatown in San Francisco.HistoryFounding and early yearsCity Lights was the inspiration of Peter D. Martin, who relocated from New York City to San Francisco in the 1940s to teach sociology. He first used City Lights—in homage to the Chaplin film—in 1952 as the title of a magazine, publishing early work by such key Bay Area writers as Philip Lamantia, Pauline Kael, Jack Spicer, Robert Duncan, and Ferlinghetti himself, as "Lawrence Ferling". A year later, Martin used the name to establish the first all-paperback bookstore in the U.S., at the time an audacious idea.

When we started inDinero back in 2009, we knew that we wanted to build a company that would be dedicated to helping business owners and entrepreneurs. From starting our own businesses in the past, we knew that running the back-office was a major distraction, and working with technically challenged accountants was no fun at all. Of all industries out there, accounting and tax was one of very few that had yet to be modernized. And even today, we find it odd that there are still accountants who run QuickBooks out of their basement! From then on, we've had our hearts set on building a company that would stand for helping fellow entrepreneurs. We didn't just want to build accounting software... we wanted to completely change the way that business owners think about their operations, and taking care of all of their back-office affairs is our way of doing that. Today, inDinero supports thousands of thriving businesses across the United States, and we're on a mission to support them as they grow. - Jessica Mah, Co-Founder / CEO

ElephantVoices uses knowledge acquired over decades to act as a voice for elephants. In the wild, ivory poaching, destruction of habitat, competition with people for diminishing resources, sport hunting, culling and capture all threaten the freedom and survival of elephants. In captivity, their well-being is affected by abusive practices and exploitation for commercial gain. Through research, education, conservation and advocacy we promote the protection and kinder treatment of elephants whereever they may be. As acknowledged experts on the natural behavior of elephants we offer insight to protect them and the authority to speak on their behalf.
A New Type of Rural Development Starts in the Tropics As world demand for food, fiber, feed and fuel outpaces supply, increases in production are urgently needed. These needs must be achieved while maintaining and rebuilding forests and fisheries, as well as slowing the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Tropical nations hold the greatest potential to produce more food for the planet. By increasing the productivity of already-cleared land and building on recent successes in slowing deforestation, we can feed more people while ending deforestation and mitigating climate change. At Earth Innovation Institute, we foster this transition to low-emission rural development – a shift to economic growth that keeps forests and fisheries intact and rewards farmers, ranchers, and fishermen for using sustainable practices.
Canine Cove, once called Howling Hollows, stemmed from a very simple idea. Creating a warm place, for good company and a place to relax and find your north. It sounds like a simple order. Remarkably so, but we are only promised the pursuit of happiness. You see, a common issue with an artist of many kinds is what to do with a blank canvas. Choosing a direction when you start with nothing. You erase, you start again, and you end with a finished product remarkably unlike what you started with. I, am the owner and this is my creation. More about me can be found at: RiderUnleashed.com. It started as a home for my family and friends. But as life moves on, the idea and the dream evolves and things change and more of what I want and my ideas have materialized in my pursuit for my final product. It started as a wooded forest, and spent time as a warm and sunny beach, even a busy and bustling nightclub and lounge, and has finally found it’s roots as “Furry Reimagined”. What is “Furry Reimagined”? Try to find a beautiful, breath taking, quiet place to take yourself and your significant other. Find a place with warm waves, spots to spend time together, a quiet place to dance together, and a place to relax with those that are like minded. You’ll find that they don’t exist. In a virtual world where sex sells, Canine Cove is a place free of strip poles and covered with the most beautiful romantic and relaxing spots SL has to offer. The furry community has so many things to offer. Beautiful, creative avatars based on common as well as exotic species. Beautiful, creative destinations and themes that I likely would never have thought of. But what I wanted the most… Was a beautiful place that felt like home. So here we are, with private homes, shops, and a movie theater. A chapel for the special day no matter what species or type of couple. I understand that things aren’t always clear cut and fit easily in a box. But here… You’re welcome. Welcome to Canine Cove, Furry Reimagined.

Habitat never gives homes away. When a family applies for one of our homes they must undergo an extensive application process. Our main requirement is that families earn between 40% and 60% of the median income in that county. Once approved the family begins to complete their 500 hours of sweat equity, our version of a downpayment. They complete this onsite, swinging hammers right next to the other volunteers. At the same time they enter our Homebuyer Readiness Program, a series of classes that teaches basic fincancial literacy. These classes are free and open to anyone, not just our partner families. After the home is done, the keys are handed over in a dedication ceremony. The family then owns the house with a zero-interest mortgage and a payment plan setup specifically for their needs.

The Salesian Boys' and Girls' Club was established in San Francisco in 1918 by Fr. Oreste Trincheri initially just for boys. Father came to the North Beach area of San Francisco and found that its atmosphere spawned 60% of the city's delinquency. He realized that the volatile, creative Italian character of the boys that made up the area must have outlets for their energies. The Salesian Boys' Club was the answer. Now serving boys and girls (age 8-18) regardless of race, religion or creed.
