Call for 2012 Proposals for the 7th Annual A World Beyond Capitalism Conference

2011-07-30T19:01:00.001-07:00

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY

Dear friends,

On July 23rd, 2011 in Seattle, Washington an Indigenous Opening Ceremony was performed to open the A World Beyond Capitalism Conference (AWBC) and the international, multicultural networking effort needed to make it happen.

The 2012 Seventh Annual International A World Beyond Capitalism (AWBC) will include the exponentially increased vision, outreach and multicultural networking which spans 7 months (Feb 2012- through August 2012) of dozens of gift economy women from all over the world giving workshops through interactive video teleconferences, in person conferences and pre-recorded conference that will be made available as DVD and free of charge downloadable video files for cable television, theater, home and organization viewing worldwide. Presentations at the AWBC conference will last 7 months as we transition into a year round Africa Needs Free Justice school.

We are currently looking to add women who desire to give workshops or presentations about the Gift Economy and all related topics of encouragement and empowerment.

Our desire is to integrate messages of encouragement, empowerment in an exciting way that encourages viewers to share it around the world and encourage movements at the grassroots level. We request is that you please decline this offer to make a presentation if you are an administrative/executive part of a multinational corporation or if you are a politician (this includes a politician with the democrats, republicans, green party or any other politician's party). This is done in order to maintain our educational independence.

How to Submit a proposal:

#1. Visit http://www.aworldbeyondcapitalism.org and click on "contact us."

Frequently Asked Questions:

#1. Do I have to live in a certain area and will I have to travel far to give a workshop or presentation at the conference?

Answer: No. We plan to make presentations and workshops available to people worldwide through interactive video teleconferences (broadcasted from your home computer), or in person conferences (if you desire to travel) and pre-recorded conferences (advance videotaping of you making a presentation from a location near you). You can live anywhere and give a workshop.

#2. Are men invited to give a presentation?

Answer: Not at this time. The Annual International A World Beyond Capitalism has welcomed all genders to give presentations for 6 years of our conference. However, for the initial stages of the 2012 Seventh Annual International A World Beyond Capitalism, we are only accepting proposals from self-identified women (which includes transgender women) at this time. We plan to make presentations and workshops available to people worldwide through interactive video teleconferences (broadcasted from your home computer), or in person conferences (if you desire to travel) and pre-recorded conferences (videotaping presenters making a presentation from a location near you).

#3. What is the expected audience outreach of the conference?

Answer: Our goal is to reach out to a minimum of 200,000 audience members and viewers worldwide in the year 2012 through interactive video teleconferences, in person conferences and pre-recorded conferences that will be made available as DVD and free of charge downloadable video files for cable television, theater, home and organization use. We will also send any film series 'summary' videos to film festivals around the country and also to Free Speech TV. Free Speech TV reaches 30 million U.S. homes, broadcasting full-time on DISH Network (channel 9415) and part-time on 200 community cable affiliates. They have aired many progressive and gift economy events in the past.

Now more than ever there is a need for the world to learn about a lifestyle beyond patriarchy that empowers women, marginalized people and encourages a world of equality that does not rely upon money.
#4. Will I need to have experience as a speaker or as a workshop presenter?

Answer: No, not all all. We have structured this conference so that it welcome presenters of all experience levels.

#5. When will my workshop or presentation appear on the A World Beyond Capitalism website?

Answer: Immediately after it is accepted which is as little as 3 days sometimes. Presentations and workshops that have been accepted can be found by visiting http://www.aworldbeyondcapitalism.org and clicking on "2012 Conference Schedule."

Thank you,
Love for the people,

Organizing Collective of the 2012 Seventh Annual International A World Beyond Capitalism Conference,

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY

--
"...remember that if the struggle were to resort to violence, it will lose vision, beauty and imagination. Most dangerous of all, it will marginalize and eventually victimize women. And a political struggle that does not have women at the heart of it, above it, below it and within it is no struggle at all."
~Arundhati Roy, The 2004 Sydney Peace Prize lecture.

New Review of Zine and D-I-Y DVD and Music Video: The Recidivist DVD and 'Riding on the Rails' Zine.

Listen to the long detailed podcast review below.
Quick Summary.

I rate items received on a scale of 1-10 Clean Socks with 1 Sock being not-the-best (as it often is the case when you only have one clean sock and the other one is lost or dirty, smelly and crusty and the rest of your socks have already been reused so many times that you would rather go barefoot in winter) and 10 Clean Socks being the very, very best situation because it means you get the clean fluffy feeling because you just did the laundry and have 10 fresh days of clean socks at hand and if you recycle you have 20 days of almost clean socks if you don't feel like doing the wash after the 10 days.

Summary review of The Zine 'Riding on Rails'
6 Clean socks for Illustrationsn by Ethan Young - http://youngillustrations.com
Only 2 pages of hand drawn illustrations but they were a very good two pages. if there was more art he would've got a 10.

9 Clean Socks. for the zine layout by Sarah Kriley. She gave a Website address with nasty corporate ads flashing so that can't ever get a 10.
Good layout though. Full color $50 NY subway ticket on front and back for playing music on the train. Very cool and original. Not even a title on front. $100 court judgment inside. Artwork included. Photos. Rock solid 9 clean socks job of layout.

10 Clean Socks for Editing by TLE. No crazy ass typos throughout the whole damn thing (which is how I do my thing actually! *happy laughter* I'm all about typos!). Makes reading it very smooth.

5 Clean socks for James who told the story in the Zine I take it. Not so interesting a story, sorry. I know you think you are sharing your music with people to reach out to them but how can you be sure you're not just irritating people since you have a captive audience on a Subway? Some of the people in the DVD didn't look too happy. Though some folks did give you money. To be honest, I love Subway musicians but you just never know. How about making a song about corrupt BP folks and then going to the BP headquarters in New York and playing there. Or maybe write a song about the racist new laws in Arizona and then go play outside the office of one of the Hate Groups found on the map of Hate groups on the Southern Poverty Law Center Website found by clicking here. If you do it, send it to me and you'll get 4 clean socks review just for doing it. While you probably wouldn't get any tips, it might make for a more interesting story...especially if you get in some interesting lyrics and conversations. Your current zine gets 3 clean socks for including one of my favorite songs in the zine for sure though. But you've got a great layout, editing and art team on your hands. Wow! Now that is what I call an awesome crew! Keep that team and you've got nothing but goodness in your future, homey!

In the future send the form found at www.freerentcommunity.org so I can tell people where to get your stuff. I would have loved to give props and credit and compliments to everybody on your staff but I will not ever type all that stuff out. No way. Sorry. I'm shocked I typed this much. Better for you and me not to type due to all my typos! *happy laughter* :)

Their email address is ghstsnguitars@gmail.com if you want to get their zine and DVD- I had to triple check that email.

WikiLeaks founder has his passport confiscated

2010-05-20T19:55:00.000-07:00

Wikileaks founder has his passport briefly confiscated

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange had his passport confiscated when he returned to his native Australia last week, according to The Age.

Arriving at Melbourne, immigration staff told Assange his passport was looking worn and would be cancelled. Thirty minutes after his passport was returned to him, a police officer then searched his bags and questioned him about his computer hacking offences he committed in 1991 when he was a teenager.

Despite the search, Assange was then told his passport is still classified as 'normal' on the immigration database and could therefore travel freely.
Speaking on Australia's Dateline show, Assange said he is wary of travelling in Australia, where he was born, because of information that has been published on Wikileaks.
Assange had been told that the publication of a proposed blacklist of banned sites has been referred to the Australian Federal Police, who were investigating how it was leaked and then published on Wikileaks, though AFP told the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday that the case had been dropped.
Looking at the site, it's hard to believe there are many countries where travel is not a problem. Some light reading from the front page:
• CIA report into shoring up Afghan war support in Western Europe
• US Intelligence planned to destroy WikiLeaks
• Cryptome.org takedown: Microsoft Global Criminal Compliance Handbook

=====================

WikiLeaks founder has his passport confiscated

By Glenn Greenwald

This is a reminder that one can't run around exposing the secrets of the most powerful governments, militaries and corporations in the world without consequences (h/t):

The Australian founder of the whistleblower website Wikileaks had his passport confiscated by police when he arrived in Melbourne last week.
Julian Assange, who does not have an official home base and travels every six weeks, told the Australian current affairs program Dateline that immigration officials had said his passport was going to be cancelled because it was looking worn.
However he then received a letter from the Australian Communication Minister Steven Conroy’s office stating that the recent disclosure on Wikileaks of a blacklist of websites the Australian government is preparing to ban had been referred to the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
Last year Wikileaks published a confidential list of websites that the Australian government is preparing to ban under a proposed internet filter -- which in turn caused the whistleblower site to be placed on that list.

The Australian document was so damaging because the Australian government claimed that the to-be-banned websites were all associated with child pornography, but the list of the targeted sites including many which had nothing to do with pornography. That WikiLeaks was then added to the list underscores the intended abuse.
Forcing Assange to remain in Australia would likely be crippling to WikiLeaks. One of the ways which WikiLeaks protects the confidentiality of its leakers and evades detection is by having Assange constantly move around, managing WikiLeaks from his laptop, backpack, and numerous countries around the world. Preventing him from leaving Australia would ensure that authorities around the world know where he is and would impede his ability to maintain the secrecy on which WikiLeaks relies.
Secrecy is the crux of institutional power -- the principal weapon for maintaining it -- and there are very few entities left which can truly threaten that secrecy. As the worldwide controversy over the Iraqi Apache helicopter attack compellingly demonstrated, WikiLeaks is one of the very few entitles capable of doing so and fearlessly devoted to that mission. It's hardly surprising that those responsible would be harassed and intimidated by governmental agencies -- it'd be far more surprising if they weren't -- but it's a testament to how truly threatening they perceive outlets like WikiLeaks to be. I hope to speak with Assange later today and will provide more details as I know them.

Rejoice! The Amazing New Issue of Natural Learning is Here!

2010-03-29T11:05:00.000-07:00

MP3 File
As many of you know, we currently have one of Arundhati Roy's quotes in the masthead of our blog which is:

"Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness -- and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we're being brainwashed to believe."

-Arundhati Roy

So it goes without saying that we encourage you to see her tonight...or forward this to your friends who may be in the Pacific Northwest!

The below Excerpt is from elliottbaybookwebsite:

Co-presented with SEATTLE ARTS & LECTURES. We are delighted and honored to again help present one of the most vital, arresting writers at work in the world today, Arundhati Roy. The Booker Prize-winning author of the 1997 novel, The God of Small Things, and the author, since, of a series of compelling, political non-fiction books, it is with the most recent of these, Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers (Haymarket Books), that she visits Seattle this evening. "After so much celebratory salesmanship about India the 'emerging market,' Roy draws us into India the actual country, peeling away the gloss until we are confronted with perhaps the most challenging question of our time: who and what are we willing to sacrifice in the name of development? Roy is one of the most confident and original thinkers of our time." - Naomi Klein. "Arundhati Roy, the direct descendant of Antigone, resists and denounces all tyrannies, pleads for their victims, and unflinchingly questions the tragic. Reflect with her on the questions she receives from the political world today." - John Berger. Tickets and information are available via Seattle Arts Lectures at www.lectures.org or (206) 621-2230. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca).

Radiant Amazing World: ‘Tenants Exploited By Landlords…’

2010-01-30T15:56:00.000-08:00

Peace Communities Progressive Coalition is happy to feature a project by some of our members:

Radiant Amazing World:

‘Tenants Who Are Exploited By Landlords – Sometimes We Smile and Laugh Through the Pain’

We are offering $10 for each non-fiction description about tenants who experienced unethical or illegal treatment by their official or unofficial landlord. A lease is not required.

Your non-fiction, uncensored description can be in one or more of the following forms: video, audio, original uplifting music, uplifting artwork, poetry, humorous (sometimes you must laugh through the anguish) or non-fiction written stories, photographs or a portfolio combination of any of the these types of descriptions. All material that we accept to publish will be displayed in exhibits worldwide, published in a booklet, CD, DVD as well as broadcast on Mondays and Friday nights at 11:59pm on TCTV Channel 22 on an uncensored Film Series called: ‘The Art of Having Fun.’

We only accept descriptions about incidents that took place within the last 2 years because it is our hope to provide free mediation services, free emergency and housing repair services, referrals to free (pro bono) legal help and maybe even new homes for tenants in emergency situations. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to keep their identity private.

We always need volunteers! Volunteers are Superheroes! Join us. Interns are eligible for college credit.

We are also looking for feminist groups worldwide who desire to exhibit the finished work as fundraisers for your group.

As tenants and artists, our housing crisis stories are ignored by mainstream media and we have few real, legal or housing options.

Together, we have a voice and we have a choice!
