QUESTION: How do I do what you do?

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: the importance of media/documentation about social change

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.

QUESTION: Printing Press Fiscal Sponsor

question / pregunta: 

Hi Radical Reference,

I'm currently working on a project I have been dreaming about for a longtime. Getting a Printing Press off the ground. So far I have began to stur up interest and support with a blog stating the projects intent and a small initial project that will realize in the meantime (a collaborative zine). I've been sending the e-mail below to friends and have begun doing searches for projects, people, etc. to also contact. I anticipate I will be sending out e-mails over the next week or two as I continue to do research.

My question for you has to do with needing a fiscal sponsor to umbrella
under while I begin to raise money. After checking out the project more who would you suggest I contact to propose such an endeavor? I really appreciate your time and any information you could share.

Greetings,

I work with (a growing number) of immigrant led worker cooperatives based in rural Western NC and am looking for any type of historical timeline on the history of cooperative enterprise here in the US and in the Global South.

Any basic resources would be immensely appreciated.!!

QUESTION: Arizona companies

question / pregunta: 

Is there an accurate list of what companies are currently based in Arizona?

There is a wiki, but it lists companies as 'based in AZ, or were at one time' which is not helpful to people considering a boycott of companies based in the state. There are also a lot of false assumptions out there (for example, that Arizona Tea should be boycotted, when it's made in NY).
