question / pregunta:
To whom it may concern,
I am involved in a queer theory group that recently started a wiki page in order to share pdf files of the articles and other reading material we will be discussing in our meetings. We were wondering if this might get us in trouble because of copyright laws, or if you think we might be okay. It is a small group, but I don't know if the size of our group would matter, or what would happen if the group grows in size (which we hope that it does).
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Kelly Ginger

question / pregunta:
I work with a group that launched a campaign around the boycott of an
Israeli real estate developer named Lev Leviev several years ago. He both
builds settlements in the Occupied Territories ('67) and is a real estate
developer here in NYC, owning many large pieces of property with his former
business partner, Shaya Boymelgreen. We are currently in a research phase of
our campaign and trying to look into other targets along the same lines:
companies or individuals that develop, buy or sell property or engaged in
construction and contracting in NYC and either in the Occupied Territories
or in Israel proper (developers in Israel proper are highly likely to be
developing in land that was once Palestinian at some point).
WhoProfits, a database maintained by Israel activists on settlement
activity, offers this list of companies that build on Palestinian land:
http://whoprofits.org/Involvements.php?id=grp_inv_settlement#grp_inv_settlement_2
Other than just going through and starting to google each one of the people
on that list, any other tips or thoughts about how to approach this topic?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

question / pregunta:
The hip hop monthly The Source publishes a list of the Hip Hop Power 30 every year. Can someone tell me if Russell Simmons or any principal from Def Jam ever made the list higher than number 3 (which I found in February 1999)?

question / pregunta:
from an email, identifying info snipped for privacy:
> Hey yall. This is R, who attended a few of your workshops in Detroit. I am doing research and attempting to compound some numbers. I am having a hard time finding a citable statistics explaining percentages of raw numbers of U.S. troops deployed currently and over the course of the Iraq and Afghan wars. Specifically, we want to know how many were and are deployed multiple times, and if so, how many times/what percentage served how many tours. I could only find info from 2005 here: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/terrorism/a/deploymentrates.htm
>
> The info is integral to a campaign we are working on!

> Any ideas?

> Thanks, peace,

Added by Jenna: This question was posed on an email discussion list and I believe answered privately. I'm marking it answered here, as well, though perhaps deleting it would be more appropriate.

I'd like to include the modern contraceptive rates for two countries in an article I'm writing--Kenya and Rwanda. Do you know where I can find the most current figure for that statistic?

question / pregunta:
I am a young professional librarian struggling to find ways to make her skills useful to the world at large. What is the best way to go about doing that if one is essentially broke and armed only with a Motorola Droid (which might explain the lack of funds to some extent)?

question / pregunta:
Does anyone know of good writing about the importance of documentation/media about social change movements. I am writing a grant to start a program that teaches students how to document and produce a series of videos about this garden they work on at their school in East New York and am looking for texts about why documentation makes the health education and food justice work that they are doing more effective.

Do you have any suggestions for finding feminist groups in Philadelphia? I am planning a public art project for a group high school and college students about 'Pioneering Women.' We are looking for some sort of radical/feminist group to partner with us on the project.
