Some Activist Blogs

I discovered a couple interesting blogs during my research of social movements in Argentina. One is called Latin America Activism. It was started by journalist/filmmaker Marie Trigona who is based out of Buenos Aires. Her writing is informative and engaging. It's also interesting to see how she is piecing together a career as a radical activist (and translator) by contributing to many alternative blogs, papers, radios, video collectives, etc... She has an extensive list of organizations she works with. I find her writings on the Dirty War and Argentine workers occupying and recuperating abandoned enterprises particularly strong.

Renegade Eye is a collective blog comprised of alternative, independent journalists. The contributors have a hodge-podge of expertise and interests, all coming from different regions of the world, which leads to a well rounded and refreshing coverage of global issues/events (at least in the articles I have read).
