QUESTION: Arizona companies

question / pregunta: 

Is there an accurate list of what companies are currently based in Arizona?

There is a wiki, but it lists companies as 'based in AZ, or were at one time' which is not helpful to people considering a boycott of companies based in the state. There are also a lot of false assumptions out there (for example, that Arizona Tea should be boycotted, when it's made in NY).

QUESTION: domestic and global stimulus spending

question / pregunta: 

Hello Radical Reference,

I'm looking for good online resources that provide a progressive analysis of stimulus packages/spending in response to the most recent financial/economic crisis in the United States and globally. The article will focus on the speed and scale ($$ amount) of government responses, who benefitted and who didn't, with a particular emphasis on how low income communities and developing countries have fared in the process. I'm on a tight deadline, so any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hack Your Library - Radical Reference workshop at the 4th Annual NYC Anarchist Book Fair

The NYC Collective of Radical Reference will have a table at the 4th Annual NYC Anarchist Book Fair, and will present a workshop on Saturday at 12:45
Workshop description from program:

Some say we live in the Information Age – a lot of the time it can feel like we’re drowning in the stuff. Libraries exist to collect and organize information in print, electronic and other formats, and librarians are trained to know what’s in there. Librarians from the NYC collective of Radical Reference want to let you know how to educate yourself by taking advantage of specialized resources and collections in support of the struggle for a better world.

QUESTION: origin of quotation

question / pregunta: 

"Peace if possible, justice at any rate"

This quotation is written above the stage in the auditorium at DuSable High School where I work on the South Side of Chicago. There is some discussion about the origin of the quote but nobody seems to be sure. It might be from Wendell Phillips? I am a librarian but have not been able to find out what its origin is. The school was built in 1935 and opened in 1936 to replace the Wendell Phillips High School which burned down.
