Sites with Links or Other Connections to This One

These sites are ones that have chosen to link to this one, and that also have many other links worth checking out. Several of them are the sites of friends, acquaintances, or organizations that I have worked with or for.
• The Virginia Organizing Project is one of a number of powerful and effective statewide multi-issue organizations that is building people's power around the country. I am proud to support this organization doing excellent work in my home state.
• The National Low Income Housing Coalition was my place of work from 1988 to 1995. I left there as Director of Field Services. The NLIHC has been a key voice for low income housing needs for two decades, and in 1999 hired a dynamic President, Sheila Crowley.
• Anti-Highway Activist Mark Robinowitz is a committed environmentalist who is nationally known for his fight against a destructive highway proposal in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. Check his site for links to other highway and environmental resources and many more activist resources.

• Earth Dream Eco-Links lists a variety of environmental resources.
• Institute for Global Communications Social Justice Links The IGC is listed above; this is its page of social justice links. IGC is also my Internet provider, though not the host of this Website, and as far as I know the only unionized Internet Service Provider.
• Good Money is a site for Social, Ethical and Environmental Investing & Consuming and Corporate Accountability. This links to its directory of activist organizations.
