General

Fuera de la Revolucion (de la Internet)

(Personal Democracy Forum 4/24/2006)

Roadmap of a Progressive Victory

(AlterNet 4/2/2007)

This 3,000 word piece examines the remarkable decision by Rhode Islanders to give back voting rights to ex-felons at the very moment they live prison's gates. How did that happen? A "perfect storm" of creative local activism, national organization support, and good deal of luck.
