We need to get this rolling!

Info for SB and other outreach

I started to search and save results for linking Long Island OWS sites and posts. This came up and it is worth posting here given what we discussed yesterday. Obviously because it extends the idea of engaging SB faculty -

youth in US- startling high unemployment

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 10:01:40 -0600

Here is link to short segment on CNN about youth unemployment
