Animal Rights and the FBI ARC 2007-05-17 3:54 PM
No true animal rights activist is involved in arson, because fires kill small birds, small mammals, insects.. and take a chance on burning humans and setting fire to the woods. Fires burn dead trees used in buildings and therefore likely cause replacement trees to be killed. (text/plain)

Protest against Bush at St.Vincent College Mena 2007-05-14 5:43 PM

People of good conscience, rally to protest Bush speaking at St. Vincent College. Shame on all thoes people who naively supported the invitation of Bush to deliver the commencement speech merely to brag that a "President" gave it. If, as many of you claimed that this event was "not about politics", then why invite a politician? In this time of national moral crisis you would have been better served by a poet.

Tomorrow: Worldwide demonstrations against the terrorist Posada... posted by F Espinoza 2007-05-10 7:39 PM

The people's mobilization is important to expose not only the U.S. government's hypocrisy of its "war on terror" but its active role in backing the Miami terrorists like Posada for over 45 years. More important than ever is the need for us to raise high the demand of immediate freedom for the Cuban Five Heroes... (image/jpeg + 1 comment)

How to get out of Iraq for just $450 million ThinkPeace 2007-05-04 9:47 PM
If Nancy Pelosi and Congress really want the war to end and U.S. personnel to leave Iraq, it doesn't have to cost $100 billion or even $1 billion. For just $450 million, Congress could hire U.S. airlines to fly all U.S. troops (and contractors) home for good, in time to enjoy summer with their families. (text/plain)

COUNTER PROTEST AGAINST PRO HATE DEMONSTRATORS FOR ERNST ZÜNDEL MAY 7TH 07 AT 10:30 AM AT THE GERMAN EMBASSY 4645 RESERVOIR ROAD NW Calling all people who oppose homophobia, xenophobia, racism and all forms of hate to come and stand against people looking to free the Holocaust denier/revisionist and Nazi sympathizer, Ernst Zündel who was jailed by Germany. Zündel has written such books as: “Did six million really die” and “The Hitler We Loved and Why”, he has also spoken at pro revisionist conferences and Neo Nazi events and has worked to ban the movie Schindlers List from being shown in Canada and elsewhere He has also gone to trial on fourteen counts of inciting racial hatred and as well for violating immigration rules in America and was also taken to court for being a threat to human rights in Canada because of his ties to the violent white supremicist/Neo Nazi organization Ayran Nations. We cannot allow his supporters to promote his hate speech and their own hate speech in D.C. or anywhere. Members of the racist group Stormfront and others will be coming to support the freeing of such a hateful man, it is because of this that we must take a stand against them and make sure they know D.C. is not tolerant of their hate, violence and lies against not only Jews but people of color and even other white folks of different religions and orientations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Zndel www.adl.org/learn/Ext_US/zundel.asp I cannot find the post on Stormfront with the full rally info but this is www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php/david-duke-calls-worldwide-protest-364768.html More from David Dukkke www.davidduke.com/general/ernst-zundel-kidnapping-case-update-no-surrender_2037.html The flyer is on DCIMC dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/138760/index.php (text/plain)

A Month in the Life of Pittsburgh Organizing Group Pittsburgh Organizing Group 2007-04-28 6:02 PM
Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) is a radical group based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania working to affect systemic progressive change in society. We seek to understand and oppose the inter-connected forms of oppression while utilizing non-hierarchical, consensus-based organizing. As a fairly large and active group we often do an inadequate job at conveying to other groups and interested people what our work looks like. We thought an article detailing what's been happening in the past month might be of interest rather than a single report on one of our events. (text/html)

Call for Submissions: Zine on Property Destruction Casey Ford 2007-04-28 8:32 AM
Entering the radical community, many quickly find themselves constantly hearing about debate over property destruction. Is it violence? Does it matter if it's violence? Is it effective? Is it alienating? And on and on. I've been hearing this argument pretty much since I regularly started attending protests. At this point, I almost don't want to deal with the subject. Naturally, you're asking, "Then why the hell do you want to make a zine about it?" (text/plain)
