Arts of Resistance

(Self Representation)

Text of
Arts of Resistance
Repression and other forms of injustice and other social ills are often overlooked, or seen as inevitable. Art can be used to deliver a message of inspiration and information for the disempowered. Art can convey beauty, love and joy. It can also convey justice, fairness, dignity and resistance. The future itself is a plastic medium, a canvas that we all help paint. Arts of Resistance can be seeds that helps people understand their situation and how they might work to improve it.Edit

Labor Visions

(Self Representation)

Text of
Labor Visions
As companies move jobs away from unionized workplaces, fewer workers have health insurance and pay has stagnated. New technology has helped businesses create huge multinationals that move jobs to where labor costs are the lowest. Unions are working with others to form support networks for all workers. Labor Visions, based on humane values, solidarity and local community, can motivate a union movement that transcends borders and involves all workers and their allies.Edit

Text of
Universal Voice Mail
Even in this very wired age, the lack of a telephone number can be a real problem. Universal Voice Mail is a low-cost solution for those unable to afford their own telephone. Potential users include the homeless, the working poor, people fleeing domestic violence, or those otherwise in need of confidentiality. Universal Voice Mail should be available as an alternative to telephone service so that all people have a reliable point of contact and a link to their community.Edit

The Power of Story

(Self Representation)

Text of
The Power of Story
The ancient art of storytelling needs to be rediscovered and updated. Stories help humankind to understand and reframe the meanings that undergird their existence. We can use new technologies to weave words and images, scientific information and poetic inspiration, and incorporate multiple voices to tell multi- faceted stories of our earth communities. As Thomas King tells us, The truth about stories is that’s all we are.Edit

Public Domain Characters

(Self Representation)

Text of
Public Domain Characters
Humankind has created a magnificent pantheon of fictional and not-so-fictional characters. Sadly, this legacy may be stopped through a transfer of ownership to corporate rather than common ownership. The natural processes of creating, sharing, and building on stories has been subverted into a process of "claiming" the world of stories as private property. The development and sharing of Public Domain Characters can help reclaim these timeless functions.Edit

Everyday Heroism

(Self Representation)

Text of
Everyday Heroism
In the media, heroes are usually richer, stronger, and better looking than ordinary people. And the situations in which the heroes find themselves are not ordinary. This makes people feel that their own lives are unimportant. No matter what the movies tell us, however, most real heroes are ordinary. We need media that involves ordinary people and everyday lives. Celebrate the heroes among us and strive to be one. Remember: Speak the truth even if your voice shakes.Edit

Telecenters

(Projects)

Text of
Telecenters
Across the globe new information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly perceived as essential to citizenship. In the same way that public libraries increased participation for the socially excluded through universal access to knowledge, so too can Telecenters that provide free or inexpensive ICT facilities. Remember that numerous preconditions must be met before Telecenters can effectively meet their objectives.Edit

Thinking Communities

(Projects)

Text of
Thinking Communities
Creative thinking is essential for self- realization and for finding sustainable solutions to the problems of our complex global society. A worldwide network that supports Thinking Communities needs to be created that links affordable locations where people can concentrate and work on individual — as well as collective — creative projects. These communities would allow their members to concentrate deeply, while also allowing them to meet peers who are working on their own projects.Edit

Great Good Place

(Projects)

Text of
Great Good Place
Around the world people have forgotten how to "hang out" with friends, a lost art that refreshes the spirit and sometimes leads to social action as well. People need places other than their home or workplace where they feel comfortable without spending much money. They can be cafes, plazas, community centers or simply places with chairs or benches. They can be privately owned but they must support community needs for them to serve as Great Good Places.Edit
