Welcome to Irregular States, an online clearinghouse that takes the phrase "think globally, act locally" seriously. Although global and national progressive movements get a lot of attention, real change also happens in cities and towns across the country. The Greensboro sit-ins, gay marriages in New Paltz and the Scopes Monkey Trial are just three examples of events taking place off the national stage that have been of tremendous importance.

In recognition of that, we've brought together resources to help you get informed, get involved, spread the word and take action in your neck of the woods. Click on the link for your state, and you'll be taken to a page with local links to mainstream and alternative news, campaigns, candidates, meetings, blogs, bumper stickers.
