Climate Change Relief: For the Victims, For the Planet

local climate action

where do you stand on nonviolence?

Rhetorical question... - the following post is from the opirgmcmaster.blogspot.com site:

[participants playing the violence spectrum game]

Despite the obstacles presented by a last minute change of location, 20 people made it to the Creative Protest and Nonviolent Civil Disobedience workshop with facilitator Matthew Behrens, held in the comfy confines of the McMaster University Student Centre.

Lots of interesting discussion, with participants, from high school students to university professors, health care workers and university students, contributing much to the overall tenor of the workshop. Some shared their experiences with recent protests like the G20, and others sought ways to creatively address social justice in the workplace.

Much to think about, and hopefully a more detailed article to follow...

anarchistic tendency

"My feeling about anarchism is that it is not a movement with an ideology. It is a tendency in the history of human thought & action which seeks to identify coercive, authoritarian, & hierarchic structures of all kinds & to challenge their legitimacy — & if they cannot justify their legitimacy, which is quite commonly the case, to work to undermine them & expand the scope of freedom."

— Noam Chomsky, anarcho-syndicalist, media-myth debunker, linguist, prolific writer
