Emergency Communication Systems

(Projects)

Text of
Emergency Communication Systems
Disasters require the attention of every level of society, including individuals, families, and neighborhoods as well as city, state, national, and international agencies and organizations. The content of Emergency Communication Systems and the dynamic and flexible flow of information through them are critical at every stage, including policy development, preparation, search and rescue, recovery, and reconstruction of vital infrastructures.Edit

Community Inquiry

(Projects)

Text of
Community Inquiry
Communities face challenges in areas of health, education, economic development, sustainable environments, and social order. But regardless of the difficulty of these challenges, a necessary condition for addressing them is for communities to find ways for members to work together. Community Inquiry provides a theoretical and action framework for people to develop shared capacity and work on common problems in an experimental and critical manner.Edit

Illegitimate Theater

(Projects)

Text of
Illegitimate Theater
Theater, viewing and participating in performances, is an ancient yet vital cultural force. Theater — particularly its "illegitimate" forms — can punctuate the ordinary and evoke new and unexpected experiences. It can introduce new, temporary realities in which the self is momentarily forgotten and submerged. Anybody can practice Illegitimate Theater that causes ripples in the everyday stream of life. It can be used to provoke emotional reactions, discussion or reflection. It can even help foster social change and the democratization of culture.Edit

Environmental Impact Remediation

(Projects)

Text of
Environmental Impact Remediation
Although information and communication are often seen as abstract and immaterial, the systems that support them are constructed with solid things whose manufacture and retirement is often accompanied with environmental damage. We must come to terms with the environmental impact of information and communication systems and devise strategies towards minimizing their negative effects. One group, Free Geek, uses volunteer labor to give new life to discarded technology by reusing and recycling.Edit

Open Source Search Technology

(Projects)

Text of
Open Source Search Technology
If the gatekeeping of commercial search engines is not balanced with open and accountable public approaches, the ability to find non-commercial information or that which is critical of governments and other powerful institutions could disappear. Open source, public search engines using open classification systems could solve this problem. It could open a new wave of experimentation in accessing information and serve as a reminder that access to information is a sacred human right.Edit

Socially Responsible Video Games

(Projects)

Text of
Socially Responsible Video Games
Video games can be violent, sexually explicit, exploitive, and commercialistic. Whether or not they lead to anti-social behavior and attitudes, the idea of using computer games for socially responsible purposes has intriguing arguments in its favor. Socially Responsible web-based and Video Games could help teach people about real-world issues in ways that other sources don't. And models and simulations provide ways for people to explore situations that can't be experienced directly — like the future.Edit

Open Source Everything

(Projects)

Text of
Open Source Everything
High profits for corporations can mean low benefits for consumers, workers, and the environment. In many areas, including scholarly publishing and the development of educational materials and software, an "open source" process can be an effective alternative. Open Source Everything can be used to meet needs where the social and environmental costs of market-driven competition outweighs the benefits.Edit

Power Research

(Projects)

Text of
Power Research
Powerful people and organizations tend to abuse their power. Without understanding who has power, how the power is wielded, and how that power can be kept within legitimate boundaries, people with less power can be ignored, swindled, lied to, led into war, or otherwise mistreated. Research power — what it is, how is it organized and applied, and who has it. Make the findings available and share the techniques that help people initiate their own power research projects.Edit

Citizens' Tribunal

(Projects)

Text of
Citizens' Tribunal
Powerful countries seem to be free to ignore international law and other recognized norms of acceptable behavior when it suits them. NGOs and other groups face tremendous hurdles for challenging these actions. Citizens' Tribunals, such as the World Tribunal on Iraq condemning the US invasion of Iraq, are part legal proceedings, part theater, and part publicly speaking "truth to power." While there are many challenges, a Citizens' Tribunal can be a powerful tool for raising issues that governments and corporate media ignore.Edit

Whistle Blowing

(Tactics)

Text of
Whistle Blowing
Corporations may flaunt legal or ethical guidelines by harassing employees, ignoring safety considerations, or dumping toxics. Governments of course are also guilty of various crimes. Whistle Blowing is the act of exposing problems within an organization by making incidents or documents public. Although society as a whole benefits from Whistle Blowing, the whistle-blower can be seen as a traitor and punished for their efforts. It is possible, however, to "blow the whistle" without becoming a martyr.Edit
