Following up on his recent series of Opportunities for Activism (parts 1, 2, 3), Eric Prescott returns with some cautionary notes: Don't Just Do Something, make sure you know what you want to accomplish first.

One of the things I love about Eric's column is that he not only offers some great ideas and thoughts, but usually he's got some pointers to more information if you want to know more. This time's no exception, and my "to-read" list just grew accordingly (thank goodness his column's only once a month!)
