Since the Voice went web-only back in April, we've had to adjust the scope of our mission a bit, and although I'll still publicize progressive events in the calendar and promote progressive ideas in my column, Compassionate Action, this blog will give me a bit more freedom to expound, as it were.
And there's going to be a lot to share! While MoveOn.org has been busy getting Obama nominated, I've become involved with a few other groups as well. This fall I'll be:
- co-advising the Young Democrats at Radford University;
- continuing to train GLBT allies for the RU Safe Zone;
- coordinating candlelight vigils for Virginians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty; and
- there's also an informal Social Justice group of Radford faculty and community members getting organized, with a core group focusing on surface mining (AKA mountaintop removal).
So I'll be reporting on the activities and growth of these groups, as well as those of MoveOn.org's Operation Democracy Council. Thanks for listening, and I look forward to keeping you posted on all the Progressive Actions happening in the NRV.
