Ten ideas for organizing ater 9/11

Experienced social activist and academic Bill Quigley shares with us his accumulated wisdom about social justice organizing, and how we might adjust to the tragic events of September 11. In addition to principles, he gives concrete examples from his wide network of social justice organizing contacts.”You are all traitors and should be put in jail!”

In this article I share ten ideas for social justice organizing after the changes of September 11.
