A Month in the Life of Pittsburgh Organizing Group Pittsburgh Organizing Group 2007-04-28 6:02 PM
Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) is a radical group based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania working to affect systemic progressive change in society.

As a fairly large and active group we often do an inadequate job at conveying to other groups and interested people what our work looks like. We thought an article detailing what's been happening in the past month might be of interest rather than a single report on one of our events. (text/html)
