• Student Organizing in the Age of Obama

  September 1, 2010

  The current stage of the recession sees state budgets hitting crisis points around the country, and one of the areas targeted for cuts has been state univerisities. Students, already dealing with prohibitive levels of debt, have been coming together to protest tuition hikes and budget cuts, in some of the largest student protests since the 1960s.

• Jan Schakowsky, Green Jobs, and Student Activism

  August 31, 2010

  Recently at Netroots Nation, Laura sat down with Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, who's been a leader in the fight against the use of private contractors like Blackwater in war zones (and at home). Our friends at the UpTake captured this video for us, as she spoke with Laura about jobs, the economy, military contractors, and the war in Afghanistan--especially the role of women in the conflict there.
