Support Low Power FM Radio

From our friends at Prometheus Radio Project, "Freeing the Airwaves from Corporate Control"

Community groups, progressive churches, labor organizations, farmworkers, schools, and more use a wonderful community radio service -- called low power FM radio -- to build their own local radio stations, and broadcast to their local communities. Congress limited low power FM, keeping it from cities all across the country. Our diverse neighborhoods need their own media, and now we have a chance to get it.

QUESTION: Anti-Mass Theory

question / pregunta: 

I am seeking assistance regarding theoretical works that address the problems of mass-action. For me this means the following: In what ways are radicals limited by an unquestioned adherance to a massified model of change. I am thinking about how foucault has destabilized old notions of a top-down power model in favor of a relational model that does not presuppose a group "in/with power" and a group "out/without power" rather that power is everywhere and is constituted through discourse and action of various individuals and groups.

I am interested in philosophical works, as well as works of political science, sociology, critical theory. Websites, zines, articles, and books etc... would be apprecaited.

QUESTION: Conflicting interests in an inheritance case(international)

question / pregunta: 

Hello, the situation is this:

A friend of mine was willed a Large sum of money from her aunt, who won it in a lottery. It has been tied up for 9 years because one of her other family members disputed her claim to the money, though it was clearly willed solely to her. So my question; after 9 years, Is it going to be possible for her to just get the money that is rightfully hers, and any suggestions on how she could do that?

Thanks very much.

QUESTION: finding a 1970s image of Yvonne Wanrow

question / pregunta: 

How would I find this image of Yvonne Wanrow? I read this snippet in a 1978 article in "off our backs":

"I recently walked into A Woman's Place bookstore in Oakland, Ca. and spotted a poster of Yvonne Wanrow. In that poster she is, for me, that fierce and caring woman, wielding in one hand a gun, and holding in the other, a child. Behind Yvonne there are the flowing rays of a bloody sun, a sun transformed by woman's creative power."

Are there databases or places that specialize in feminist/political posters and images from the late 1970s? Do you have any other suggestions on how to find this image?

There are four other books in the series, Ragtime, Swing, the 50's and the 70's, but this one went out of print suddenly a few years ago.
