I'm About to Pull an MCA
I always complain about musicians and what have you for using their podium and celebrity status to preach about whatever. I do want Tibet to be free. I swear. But I don't want Adam Yauch yippin and yappin about it when I'm sitting in crappy seats at his concert. Rap, damn you! That's why I'm here!

Anyway, I am going against my own rules here to bring a great organization to your attention. I've been on their mailing list and I do attend their events when time allows (a lot of them take place during the week). Oh, and if you don't live in the Greater Boston area, this won't really be appropriate.

Community Change is an organization working hard to fight against racism (particulary institutional or systematic racism) in the city of Boston. I'm not going to drone on and on since I'm anti-preachy, but I would have liked to have found out about this organization long before I did, so in case you are interested, here is their website.
