[lbo-talk] Fwd: Progressive Investment

[Carrol Cox]

I would suggest that you contribute your _own activity_ to some activist
group, and handle your dollars like any sensible citizen of a capitalist
nation. You can dinate to the AFSC, Monthly Review, militant union caucuses,
Left Forum, various radical publications (e.g. Socialism and Democracy, Left
Business Observer, Historical Mterialism), local or regional anti-fracting
groups, etc. As you become politically active you may find national
organizations worth your time and money: perhaps a current group (e.g. ISO
or Solidarity), a revitalized Greenn Party, or some organization yet to be
created.

Put you capital where it will best serve your future capacity to support
left endeavors.
