RAWA!

From the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan website:

RAWA is the oldest political/social organization of Afghan women struggling for peace, freedom, democracy and women’s rights in fundamentalism-blighted Afghanistan.

If you are freedom-loving and anti-fundamentalist,
you are with RAWA. Support and help us.

Guess we’re all with ‘em, aren’t we?

You and Cancun

Why You Should Come to Cancun
By Starhawk

†††From September 10-15, the World Trade Organization will attempt to hold a ministerial in Cancun, Mexico. †They will be opposed by campesinos, students, international activists, NGOs, and a strong contingent of the Mayan Gods and Goddesses †(at least, in the form of giant puppets.) †Here’s why you should be there, too, if you possibly can-or in one of the many support actions around the globe if you can’t get to Cancun itself.

Corporateering: the Gangs of America

Two new books worthy of our attention.

A new book by Ted Nace that you can read online.

From the Gangs of America website:

Corporations are the dominant force in modern life, surpassing even church and state. The largest are richer than entire nations, and courts have given these entities more rights than people. To many Americans, corporate power seems out of control.

And another book by Jamie Court with a forward by Michael Moore.

From the Corporateering website:

Corporateer: v. to prioritize commerce over culture; n. one who prioritizes commerce over culture

This book offers empowering strategies for counter-corporateering so we can reclaim our private lives, our right to health and safety, and other personal liberties.

Remember, knowledge is power.
