Since September, 2003 we have held silent, peaceful vigils outside Beth Israel Congregation prior to services on Saturday mornings. This congregation supports the state of Israel's claimed "right" to exist as a Jewish state in Palestine, and is a center of nationalist support for that state. They indoctrinate their children with visits to Israel, posing with soldiers on tanks and armored personnel carriers. Their name translates literally to the "House of Israel". |

Breasts not bombs! is a growing network of young urban women who support each other and are ready to solicit change in the world, currently based in New York City. We are looking to better ourselves and better the society we all live in. We are tired of seeing our sisters put down. We're tired of basing our lives around a patriarchal society. A woman should never doubt herself, and we; the girls of Breasts Not Bombs, are here to make sure women out there never do. We use the power of the f-word (feminist) to advocate equal rights and equal treatment. Through appropriate protest, educational gatherings and consistent discussion, we intend to change the way society views women as a whole. |

The Icarus Project envisions a new culture and language that resonates with our actual experiences of 'mental illness' rather than trying to fit our lives into a conventional framework. We are a network of people living with and/or affected by experiences that are often diagnosed and labeled as psychiatric conditions. We believe these experiences are mad gifts needing cultivation and care, rather than diseases or disorders. Icarus members come together on web forums and in local autonomous groups for mutual aid, skill-sharing, and community. Our stance on psychiatric medication is 100% pro-choice. We advocate a harm-reduction approach for those who want to come off meds. By joining... |

English followed by Spsnish. We look in the direction of helping to create the institutions that will allow us to better watch over the real "needs of the body and the soul" as they were presented by Simone Weil in her great text "Profession of Faith" written the year of her death, 1943 (“Study for a Declaration of Obligations towards Human Beings,” subtitle to her last book, The Need for Roots) and which she generously left open to our initiative and creativity. This meditation is offered here as a prelude to a more sound formulation of a "profile of a legitimate democracy" and of an "ecological model of citizenship" able to fully take into account those earthly needs. Two concepts that go... |
