The purpose of the Progressive Information Project is to more widely share resources and information created to advance progressive causes. A lot of good work is being done, but the average progressive often doesn't learn about it or know what is available. This series is designed to help alleviate that problem.

This post will serve to update a few previous posts with more resources on ALEC and online progressive radio and video. First up are some new resources on ALEC, which I previously profiled here. Since then, a number of groups who are part of the ALEC Exposed community have come together to provide some more research on the shadowy organization behind much of the right-wing legislation being pursued in the states.

  • ALEC on economic issues
  • ALEC on education
  • ALEC on health care
  • ALEC on jobs
  • ALEC on jobs and the economy
  • ALEC on privatization
  • ALEC on women and families

    I'm also still getting a lot of good feedback on the online radio and video posts and there are a lot of new shows to add. I will continue to update the list and it will be housed on my Liberal FAQ website for the future, although I won't likely post it here again, I'll just add new shows to the list.

    Now, the original idea ...

    The idea is very simple—it's an attempt to round up all of the online progressive radio shows, podcasts, and video shows that are regularly produced. I'm sure the list below is incomplete, so let me know what is missing and I'll update the list regularly to make sure everyone can find the progressive media voices available to us online ...
