Tiny House Living: How Two Families Made It Work
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28233-tiny-house-living-how-two-families=
-made-it-work
Liz Pleasant, YES! Magazine: How do you fit a full-sized family into a tiny=

http://truth-out.org/news/item/28236-despite-enduring-a-lifetime-of-violenc=
e-kelly-savage-emerges-as-an-in-prison-activist
Victoria Law, Waging Nonviolence: After enduring a lifetime of violence and=

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28238-feds-bar-companies-long-distance-l=

http://truth-out.org/news/item/28239-employee-engagement-is-no-substitute-f=
or-a-union-at-volkswagen
Alexandra Bradbury, Labor Notes: There's no bargaining in Volkswagen's new =

litical Establishment
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28240-selma-portrays-the-true-martin-=
luther-king-jr-a-radical-despised-by-the-political-establishment
Zaid Jilani, AlterNet: Selma has won nearly unanimous praise from film crit=
ics - partly for its unflinching look at King as a true radical who upset n=
ot just a fringe of racists in the South, but the entire political establis=
hment. The film is particularly relevant right now, in light of recent prot=
ests against police brutality.
Top 10 Progressive Policies We'd Love to See Enacted in 2015 (but Probably =

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28237-top-10-progressive-policies-we-d-lo=
ve-to-see-enacted-in-2015-but-probably-won-t-be
Robin Marty, Care2: The new year would be an amazing time to pass some real=
legislation that could decrease the gap between the rich and poor and the =
haves and the have-nots. Sadly, with a new, even more conservative Congress=
to be sworn in this January, the odds of that happening are pretty slim.
