What do you read for alternative progressive news?

When I tell folks I'm co-editor of Peacework, one of the questions I get asked most is, "Where do you go for alternative news?" I'm never sure where to start, because of course, there are so many excellent peace and justice oriented magazines, newsletters, websites, and blogs out there. But in putting together a preliminary blog-roll for this site, I tried to pull together some of the sites I visit most often (see the blog roll on the right side of this page for links, and I'll paste the names in below as well).

An Army of None

Summary:

Do You Wear ''Camo''? Feminists Globalize Demilitarization

Do You Wear Camo? Feminists Globalize Demilitarization
Authors: Cynthia Enloe

Summary:

The Women of Color Resource Center (WCRC) isn't what most experts think of as a site of research on militarization and demilitarization. But that oversight may be due to many militarization experts' narrow views of ''expertise.'' The WCRC is an energetic organization located in downtown Oakland, California, that develops programs for Asian- American, African-American, Native American, and Latina women in the San Francisco Bay Area.
