		<description><![CDATA[Twenty years ago, I went to a cabin deep in the Arkansas woods, holed up with my two rat terriers for two months, and wrote the first draft of Homophobia:  A Weapon of Sexism. It was not a difficult writing task because for seven years I had been schooled in its politics and principles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By guest writers Pam Keeley, Jackie St. Joan &#038; Kay Whitlock
They say what goes around comes around, but we didn’t think it would come around in quite this way.  First, twenty-four years ago Ronald Reagan told us it’s Morning in America, speaking in bland homilies to create a tidy, white image of the nation. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by guest writer, Renee DeLapp
I used to be a union organizer.   Of the many things I learned about power, one lesson in particular has stuck with me through the years.  It was from a video made by a former union organizer who became a “consultant” for management.  As I recall the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The news of Andrea Smith’s denial of tenure just reached me this morning.  I am astounded but not surprised.  I am astounded because I had mistakenly thought that the University of Michigan might be a large and brave enough container to hold and honor her great intellectual abilities, the breadth of her cut-to-the-bone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, people in nonprofit organizations and foundations suddenly faced the idea that older activists were “aging out” and younger people would be needed at the heart of movement work.   What followed were countless gatherings to discuss “intergenerational work,” “transitioning leadership,” “youth organizing and leadership development,” etc., etc.  The funding [...]]]></description>

Early in the 1990s as we began facing increasing rightwing attacks, I began to hear a repeated theme from social change groups:  “When can we stop [...]]]></description>

It is about the people’s great roar for change and involvement in the political process.  It’s about people moving from stunned and despairing to inspired and hopeful.  It [...]]]></description>

As soon as it was clear that Obama had won an overwhelming victory in the South Carolina primary, news commentators put up their pie-chart evidence and declared, “Race trumps gender!”  Surely no one was surprised at the spin. Since the Civil Rights Movement, media pundits and political strategists have [...]]]></description>
