RELATED STORIES: Many Faces of Activism in On the Issues Magazine
From its first appearance in 1983, On the Issues Magazine has been a publication of activism, as well as analysis and commentary. That’s only fitting since from the era of Ronald Reagan to that of Barack Obama, there has been no respite from the need for raised voices and determined acts.
In 1989, publisher Merle Hoffman interviewed and Patricia Golan profiled U.S. political prisoner Susan Rosenberg in America’s Most Dangerous Woman?. Rosenberg was serving a 58-year sentence for the possession of arms and explosives -- a sentence more than 10 times the national average for such offenses. (In 2001 after 16 years in prison and 12 years after the story ran in On The Issues Magazine, Rosenberg’s sentence was commuted by then-President Bill Clinton.)
