Labor and democracy

1. Here are some resources on events to come at UCSC, Santa Cruz, and nation wide:
* Tuesday 3/15/2011, Town Clock, Santa Cruz, at 5:30pm: demonstration organized by [Moveon.org](http://front.moveon.org/);
* Wednesday 3/16/2011, 3–5pm, meeting and rally at quarry plaza, UCSC: organized by [AFCSME](http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001591325863), and the [Student and Worker Coalition for Justice](http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_139061972824686);
* nation-wide day of action on April 4, 2011, with demonstrations planned in front of banks. Organized by [“We are one,”](http://local.we-r-1.org/). See the Facebook page of [“we are one”](http://www.facebook.com/werunited).

2. Information resources:
* [Associated Press](http://www.ap.org/): quite good on Wisconsin and labor news;
* [Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel](http://www.jsonline.com/);
* about the Wisconsin GOP Bill, see [article in *Mother Jones*](http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/03/wisconsin-walker-union-republican-senate-budget-bill): the Wisconsin sham(e) of a bill is not only about bargaining rights (and forget about budget woes, the initial excuse). It authorizes state officials to fire any state employee who joins a strike, walk-out, sit-in, or coordinated effort to call in sick!
* [Democracy Now!](http://www.democracynow.org/);
* [Monterey Central Labor Council](http://montereybaylabor.org/), where one can sign up, get news and events, especially for local action, and volunteer or intern;
* [Student and Worker Coalition for Justice](http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_139061972824686).
