Power to the People
To me some ideas don't get old and the idea of the people actually having the power is one of them. I am reading a great book right now called, 'One No, Many Yeses' about the Anti-capitalism/globalization movement. It covers all my favourite activist groups: the Zapatistas struggles in Chiapas, protesters in Genoa and Seattle, and the CultureJammers. Reading it also sparked a great conversation about the importance of women in government and other organizations.Some great links:
Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping: Even my Ugandan Aunt has heard of him and his anti-consumerism movement.
The Zapatiasta Movement: from the mountains of Chiapas Mexico, to the streets of cities everywhere..
AdBusters Magazine: Based in Vancouver Canada, this magazine is famous for it's spoof ads.
The IndyMedia site: is crucial to see the news that doesn't make the nightly news. Most of the media is from freelancers and community members.
