I was going to take the weekend off, but I've got a few minutes and a lot of links. More importantly, we have a few actions that are happening this weekend. Check it out. I've also set up another page that I will continue to update with links to other "good" news websites.

The topics are in alphabetical order. This is a crowd-sourced effort, so if you come across a news item or call to action that you think we should include, please complete this form. Some links will require subscriptions.

If you like what we are doing, please forward this to someone else. If you received this from someone else, please subscribe!
