The Nation magazine is looking for submissions for a new book that will serve as the coast-to-coast guide to progressive America.  Your submissions will help your fellow liberals passing through, as well as help Utah fight that backward, borderline-southern state reputation we have.  Ok, maybe it won’t help our reputation - not with our legislature doing everything in their power to keep that reputation.
From the folks at The Nation:

“The book will identify all manner of unique, offbeat things: Chicago’s finest political saloons and San Francisco’s neighborly coffee houses; where to find fair-traded coffee beans; green markets, slow foods and anti-fast-food activists; humane-raised meats; radical, feminist, gay and African-American bookshops and clubs; feminist erotica, consenting-adult sex clubs and singles clubs for politically committed people; music stores, festivals and venues; progressive summer camps and play groups; anti-sweatshop organizations and non-exploitive clothing makers; progressive realtors, therapists, ministers, rabbis, undertakers and cemeteries; community radio stations, liberal commentators and talk shows; a Left-Thumbed Guide to the Blogosphere; writers rooms, writers unions, writers programs and writers retreats; alternate energy sources, and cohousing developments; activist churches, mosques and temples; real alternative weeklies, socially zines; left history tours and tourists.

“Being that we’re talking to Drinking Liberally, it would also be good to get people to nominate their meeting place for our social section, but they would need to justify why their bar should be included above and beyond the fact that DL meets there X nights a month — for instance: the bartender/owner is an vet with anti-Bush views  and every local protest march ends here, or it’s rumored that Dylan stopped in for a drink on his way to play the cotton fields of Mississippi, or this is the first bar to host integrated music nights, or some storied bit of liberal folklore, you get the point.”
