Literacy programs at Multnomah County Library

It used to be that literacy was a question of: can you read or can't you? Today literacy experts look at the levels of reading ability -- reading a medicine bottle, a newspaper, or a ballot all require different levels of literacy. Our guest Melissa Madensky from the Multnomah County Library talks about their new literacy programs at the North Portland Library. Tune in and call 503-231-8187 with your stories about the issue, plus find out how you can help increase literacy in your community. Wednesday at 8am on 90.7 FM, KBOO.

Find links here to articles, documents and videos about adult literacy and related issues.

Talk radio checks in with Labor Rights advocates Jeff Ballinger and Debby Cheng Yi Yi.

Holiday Season talk radio with William Seaman and Joe Uris - This Wednesday at 8AM, Joe and Will check in with labor rights advocates Jeff Ballinger and Debby Cheng Yi Yi. What are the working conditions in the factories that produce those holiday gifts during this hectic shopping season? Jeff Ballinger is probably best known for his work on bringing to light labor conditions for workers producing Nike shoes, but his labor rights research and advocacy goes back to the Clothing Workers union's "Farah pants" boycott and the JP Stevens campaign (remember Norma Rae?). Debby Cheng Yi Yi works for the Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior, based in Hong Kong, and has extensive experience with the production pipeline for those popular new iPads.

 Common Sense Talk Radio
 Hosted by Kayse Jama and Grassia Melendez
 From the Center for Intercultural Organizing 

Today's guests are Joy Margheim from the Oregon Center for Public Policy, and Ronault "Polo" Catalani from Portland's Office of Human Relations.  

Joy was an author of the recent report by the OCPP that clearly shows, using US Census data, that our Immigrant Communities boost local economies where ever they form, including right here in Portland, Orygun.  

Polo is working hard to redefine "immigrant" to mean "Newcomer in Our Community," a new term that avoids the negative stigmatism associate with the word "immigrant", and puts a positive spin on the contributions our newest community members have always given to our city and state.

RE: Youth Domestic Violence

Submitted by VernonHuffman on Wed, 02/16/2011 - 9:43am.

One big factor in domestic violence is our culture of militarism. The US military devotes huge sums marketing militarism to youth. Their root assumption is that violence is the ultimate problem solver. Once recruited, youth are taught specific violent techniques. Statistics show that domestic violence is worse in areas that have military bases.

One solution to this violence is tax resistance. Refuse to pay federal taxes until military spending is dramatically cut.
