Here's my plug, for the cause I spend lots of my time and energy on, Wikimedia/Wikipedia

Hear, hear!

None of this implying that anything found on Wikipedia should be uncritically accepted as true, but I can't think of any better testimony for the collective win of rationalists everywhere than the product of Wikipedia. For one, we benefit directly from the resources on Wikipedia; secondly, we benefit indirectly whenever other people benefit from Wikipedia.

The more difficult matter is reclaiming Wikipedia from the barbarians :D
