I think that would be fantastic - particularly in light of

In terms of activist groups potentially contributing
to Commons:
When I was in Hobart recently for Linux Conference Australia 2009 the
"Steve Irwin" (the Flagship of the Sea [[Shepherd]] anti-whaling group) had
just pulled in to port for refueling and supplies. I had a chat with their
photographer who was documenting events and said that wikipedia would be
very interested in hosting their "action shots/videos". [I didn't have the
time to explain the difference between Wikipedia, Commons etc. :-) ] I gave
him my card and will hopefully hear from them when the whaling season is
over. I made sure to explain the priniciple of encyclopedic NOPV - and that
we would not be "promoting" their cause but would be very willing to host
their documentary images/video if it were licensed appropriately. We'll see
how we go!
All the best,

It seems members of the anti-scientology movement are interested in
contributing to commons - I've heard tell of some early en-wiki volunteers
being previously active in usenet scientology discussions, so it's
interesting to see the next generation plugging in...
