Many of us are by now aware of the leaks by Ed Snowden. If you don't, here is a good start:

These revelations have led to a new movement of people fighting to restore the 4th amendment, it's called #restorethefourth. Here are some links to Atlanta-specific pages:

Many will have criticisms of this, and many are well-founded. I have jumped in because some people are doing something.

The rhetoric from the facebook is all aboutn informing consumers and holding politicians accountable. But we know that there might be more wrong in this world than monsanto. And that politicians aren't the best way to get shit done. So everyone should go! It will be fun!

ASOCHIVIDA asks respect to Fundación La Isla

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 04/03/2013 - 5:30pm

Chichigalpa Association for Life (ASOCHIVIDA), the most representative organization of persons with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) of the country, said that Fundación La Isla, an NGO that has self-proclaimed itself as defender of CRI patients, is promoting division and confrontation among members of the Association.

"ASOCHIVIDA thanks all the organizations that have the intention to help CRI patients, but it cannot accept the strategies and tactics used by Fundación La Isla”, said a statement issued by ASOCHIVIDA, which also expressed discomfort with respect to the unwanted intrusion of the above-mentioned NGO in the internal affairs of the Association.

Global Action Against WTO!

Call to action of the Indonesian People's Movement Against Neocolonialism-Imperialism toward Bali WTO Ministerial meeting on 3-6 of December 2013

Deal a decisive blow to Neoliberalism. The time is now for Economic Justice!

The capitalist system is in a deep crisis. Since the 2008 financial crisis where the system nearly imploded, it has yet to fully recover. And instead, the crisis has spread and has deepened the food, economic, energy and climate crises. The deep systemic crisis is crystal clear evidence that the neoliberal regime must come to an end. However, instead of listening to the 99 percent, the governments, led by the G-20, have imposed austerity measures, cutting social services, making the people pay for the bailout of banks and corporations and doing nothing to curb the speculators who played a major role in the crises.

May Day action planning

May first was the first international labor day. People from all over the world took time that day, every year, to remember the Hay Market massacre in which 12 labor organizers whom were fighting for an eight hour work day, were killed by the Chicago police. While some countries still celebrate the power of the working class on this day, other countries changed the date and the significance to better suit their needs. In the 1970's immigrants rights organizers rekindle the holiday in the U>S> because, immigrants were now the working class that was most taken advantage of. Since then the call for May day action every year has spread to every major city in the country and some in between. After learning about the history of may day actions in the Atlanta area it seems necessary to call for an action to supplement a march on the capitol.

If you are interested in organizing and planning an action on may day please join me and several others I have invited.

Join us on "Fight Back Friday!" for an afternoon rally / protest at the FDA. Front of FDA building, Eighth St. and Peachtree St NE

The FDA is poised to approve the first-ever, lab-created Frankenfish for human consumption, unless they hear from enough of us! And in won't be labeled.

Why is this SO dangerous? The approval of the world's first GE animal for food would be a step in the WRONG direction, whereas biotech corporations genetically modify, patent, own and control the world's food supply. Scary!
