Wednesday Afternoon Orgdown

Been a while since my last orgdown, but this caught my eye:


Organizing Upgrade: Left Organizers Respond to the Changing Times
http://www.organizingupgrade.com/

From their "about us" page:
Organizing Upgrade is an attempt to engage left leaders and innovators in the field of community organizing in a strategic dialogue. We hope that this project can bring the kind of inspiration, vision and strategic clarity we need to strengthen our political impact, both in our immediate fight and in our longer-term efforts to build the social justice movement and to revitalize a movement-rooted left in the United States.
Also, this has become a regular source for me for international labor news:

LaborStart: Where trade unionists start their day on the net.
http://www.labourstart.org/
from their about page:

LabourStart is an online news service maintained by a global network of volunteers which aims to serve the international trade union movement by collecting and disseminating information -- and by assisting unions in campaigning and other ways.

Its features include daily labour news links in more than 20 languages and a news syndication service used by more than over 700 trade union websites. News is collected from mainstream, trade union, and alternative news sources by a network of over 500 volunteer correspondents based on every continent.

'Nuff said.
