		<description><![CDATA[UUs and Allies: Nationwide Community Radio Network has recently been established in order to take full advantage of the approaching historic opportunity for establishing a network of progressive Low Power FM (LPFM) radio stations owned by non-profits such as unions, food banks, liberal churches, free clinics, and social justice groups. In January, the Low Power Community Radio Act was signed into law.  UUs and Allies has been established to get the word out and to assist non-profit organizations with the legal and technical aspects of successfully launching an LPFM station.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Randall Atkins, special correspondent for VoicesofOK.org

Cairo – Drunk on the victories of the recent revolution and ousting of their hated president Hosni Mubarak, Egypt’s youthful opposition may have just sobered up to the realities of their newly democratic state.  The March 19th referendum on constitutional amendments, which they say did not go far enough, was not the change they envisioned when they took to the streets in January. Newly formed political parties, some of which have yet to even pick a name for themselves, fought to get the amendments voted down.]]></description>

The most truly sobering thing about the current nuclear crisis in Japan is not the amount of damage and death it has the potential to bring, but how common such disasters are.

News that Friday’s devastating earthquake and tsunami centered in the area of Sendai, Japan, caused the cooling systems at the Fukushima nuclear plant to fail, exposing the fuel rods and leading to the possibility of a meltdown, have conjured up images in both the media and the public imagination of Chernobyl in 1986 and Three Mile Island in 1979.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For most who pass through Egypt, it is a tourist destination; a place to see first hand the remnants of an ancient civilization. During the winter months resort towns along the red and white seas serve as a sunny getaway for middle class westerners, but what is lost on most of these visitors is the vast inequities and contradictions that exist in the country.]]></description>

Thoughts floating through my mind in the beginning were about rallies I had attended in the Sixties, Canterbury Tales, nine years of national fear-driven behavior... and fun. Secondary thoughts included the affordability of the trip, and a loud " WTF are you thinking " from my body parts below the neck ( this was a trip in a crowded bus that meant 27 hours on the bus, seven hours in D.C., and then 27 more hours back on the bus ).]]></description>

One of the best things about working with the Touchstone Youth Project non-profit is discovering other incredible helping organizations right here in the metro area. As a unique network of do-gooders, it never hurts to build relationships with those who share a vision, be it personally or professionally. As for The Spero Project -- they found me, and I’m thrilled that they did!]]></description>

At Oklahoma's first Laborfest, held August 26 through 28 in the Oklahoma City Plaza District, visitors learned about aspects of the state’s history that are often forgotten.

Artists, poets, and musicians gave performances reflecting on Oklahoma's working-class history and culture. Speakers discussed contemporary problems within the labor movement and the often cited problem of Oklahoma’s transition from a radically progressive, labor-friendly state to a radically conservative state often regarded as hostile to unions and with a poor record on workers' rights.]]></description>

As we approached Bokoshe, Oklahoma, a large dump truck barrelled past us on the narrow road. In the pouring rain, it sent up a heavy spray that hit our van with an audible thump.

"That was a fly ash truck," someone said.

It was one of the 80 truckloads of ash that come every day from the AES Shady Point coal plant, 7 miles east of Bokoshe, to a dumpsite operated by the Making Money Having Fun corporation...]]></description>
