It's similar.  Apparently, Leslie Lafayette is abandoning CFN.  No Kidding!
is the next best thing.  While I was in Calfornia (S.F. Bay Area), a woman
(Anita Bettencourt) ran the Bay Area Childfree Network there and she
organized social meetings.  I thought it was a great idea and wanted to
continue such a thing when I moved to the east coast.

It's really a shame because being childfree is healthy for the planet.
