Hello! We’re sorry this issue is a week late, but our server went down, we had to restore the entire site (nearly 7 Gigabites). We may not have everything back until the October Issue, but will post critical articles on the Front Page.
Welcome to the fall! No fear, no compromise and no surrender!

Labor Day!

“All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance
and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”
– Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Mike KIng)

“A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life
depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself
in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.” – Albert Einstein

“Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.” – Ovid

For our planet, the war-ravaged, and the poor we will sow the seeds of hope for peace. Guided by conscience, reason, and deeply held convict Photo by National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance

ions, we call upon people of good will to come to Washington, DC on Tuesday September 22, 2015 to actively participate in a witness of nonviolent civil resistance calling on Congress and the White House to take meaningful action as we confront the climate crisis, the unending wars, the root causes of poverty, and the structural violence of the military-security state. There will be an occupation of a Congressional office, followed by direct action at the White House.

Come together to save Mother Earth!

End our wars!

End poverty by using money for
jobs, education, infrastructure, and the poor!

End structural violence!

And we must hold our police departments accountable when they abuse the community by beating, abusing and executing innocent community members. No fear, no compromise and no surrender!

There will be an occupation of a Congressional office and direct action at the White House.
