Headlines: March 1, 2008

Quote for thought: “If we don’t know where we’re going, we’ll never get there. To build a better future, the progressive movement needs a coherent, compelling, shared vision — one that represents out values and dreams for society and guides us in inspiring others to share our hope and join along. But while as social justice advocates, we often know what we’re against, do we know what we’re for?” from Movement Vision Lab

I was pretty busy today writing some long-term pieces and articles. Here is one interesting thing I found:

1. Qvisory: “An independent nonprofit standing up for your issues and helping you achieve your money, work & health goals” - Here’s an interesting non-profit I found. With young people in more and more debt, this organization provides information and services to young people who want to get out of debt or stay out of debt. Its headed by SEIU’s Andy Stern. The group describes itself as:

“…a nonprofit community that supports the money, work, and health goals of American workers, particularly young Americans who face significant challenges in today’s rapidly evolving economy. We provide information, valuable products, and innovative services to put people in control of their lives. Together with the Qvisory community, we also advocate for changes that benefit all of us in these three issue areas.”
