Praying with our Feet at Occupy Oakland

Erica Mu — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:51:07 +0000

When my teacher and mentor at the Jewish Theological Seminary Abraham Joshua Heschel told me and others that he had been “praying with his feet” when he participated in the Selma Freedom march in 1965, he confirmed for many a way of overcoming the dichotomy between my religious practice and my radical politics. In many ways, the antiwar movements of the ‘60s and early ‘70s of the last century felt like that kind of community prayer.

Do you make these solar-powered wireless recharging mistakes?

Erica Mu — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 21:20:01 +0000

So there's this very new trend working along side our attraction with the very best wire less units, and it's how to best get their battery packs completely full. With many of the recent pads and tablet PCs, mobile phones, and notebooks, the only universal drawback is the most favorable way to keep them recharged. I began questioning what normally I would definitely do with some of these various gizmos and now I ponder what I'd do without them. I even worry nighttime if I have most of them on their proper electrical wires and charging up for the morning ahead.

Bay Area’s economic comeback may suffer from EPA budget cuts

Sherbeam Wright — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:48:51 +0000

Friday's federal budget deal had to happen, and budgets and programs have to be cut. But, it looks like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the nation's environmental champion, watchdog and lifeline, is going to take the brunt of the cuts. In California where we are already facing cuts to state redevelopment funds, this move could bring much needed economic development to a standstill.

This article originally appeared in the Christian Science Monitor.

Question: Would you want a small handful of government officials controlling America’s entire food supply, all its seeds and harvests?

I suspect most would scream, “No way!”

How for-profit schools prey on returning veterans

Erica Mu — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 20:05:25 +0000

The NYT published an article recently giving us a taste of how for-profit schools are welcoming home military veterans. While most of the schools claim to be catering to returning veterans by offering accelerated online education programs and superior customer service, many lawmakers and veterans’ advocates suggest something quite different is happe

Keep free speech alive with Free Speech Radio News

Erica Mu — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 19:30:50 +0000

Free Speech Radio News (FSRN) is a daily, half-hour news show broadcasting around the U.S. on about 150 stations and over the internet. With a handful of full-time staff and freelance local reporters all over the world it covers civil rights issues and international news often missed by other media. Its main funding source has fallen behind on payments which means FSRN will have to close down on December 20 unless it can urgently find another source of funds.
