Students and Teachers Fight California University Cuts
April 23, 2011Budget cuts are everywhere we look these days, but they often come right along with giveaways and moves to further enrich those at the top.

April 22, 2011"We need to be able to laugh about issues but we also need to know that aside from the comedy, there is a very real issue of displacement in many urban communities," says Julia Ahumada Grob, the co-creator and lead actor of the web TV series East WillyB. The show is set in Bushwick a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, and it addresses the problems of gentrification and displacement of communities of color through humor, and brings high-quality TV production values to the 'net.People Power for Schools in San Francisco

July 9, 2010Our biological clock is ticking, and it’s ticking fast. Global temperature averages have risen by ten degrees, eliminating many species and drying up necessary water resources. When natural ecology changes, human ecology changes; while we might not have an apocalyptic Day After Tomorrow scenario, it may be a slow and more painful series of wars, refugees, and failed states brought on by slowing food production.Davey D: (No) Justice for Oscar Grant
July 9, 2010Former BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) police officer Johannes Mehserle, who shot 22-year-old Oscar Grant in the back while he was handcuffed, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter on July 8. Involuntary manslaughter, for a police officer killing an African-American man who was already in custody. Yet some were surprised that he was convicted of anything at all, given the history of police shootings of men of color.Inaugurate This! Join GRITtv in DC.
