Dear In These Times reader,

What would a progressive bailout to help all Americans -- not only Wall Street -- look like? In "Turning a Wall Street Giveaway Into a Rescue for All Americans", Senior Editor David Sirota offers a blueprint for the best possible response to the financial meltdown. Read this incisive new story here.

  • InTheseTimes.com Gets a Facelift

    • . Four years is a long time on the Internet - that's how long it's been since InTheseTimes.com gave itself a facelift. And that's why we're excited to unveil our improved site, which has been in the works all year. Here's a quick guide to the major new features...

    Videos: InTheseTimes.com now features videos, including this recording of David Sirota's 'Uprising' presentation at In These Times office in Chicago a few months ago. (For all four parts of Sirota's presentation, click here.) We're excited to begin compiling some of the best news and feature videos on the web.

    20 Questions: The new weekly feature will offer web-only interviews with prominent progressive activists, writers or artists. This week we talk to longtime activist Bill Fletcher, former president of TransAfrica Forum and co-author of the new book Solidarity Divided: The Crisis in Organized Labor and a New Path toward Social Justice.

    "I am an unapologetic socialist," Fletcher says. "I believe that capitalism is destroying the planet." Read the full interview here.

  • Labor After Bush. Speaking of Bill Fletcher, if you live in the vast territory known as "Chicagoland," we hope you'll attend the event In These Times is co-sponsoring tonight: "The Labor Movement and Progressive Politics in the Post-Bush Era." Senior Editor David Moberg and Bill Fletcher will be on a panel moderated by Kim Bobo, executive director of Interfaith Worker Justice. Details are here.

    And don't forget to read stories from our October issue, including the Obama cabinet cover story. Visit InTheseTimes.com every day for the independent news and fresh analysis you can't find anywhere else.

    Thanks, as always, for your support.

    Cheers,

    Jeremy Gantz

    Web editor
