RIGHT TO RESIST!

It is the right we turn to when all else fails.

About Me


Your R2R editors, Spiderfingers and Beloved Tania, thank you for all you say and do on behalf of those who are resisting conditions worse than many of us can imagine in Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon...
***
We also thank all of you who speak out about the crimes being committed by the current US government against our people here at HOME...
***
***
This is a place for discussion about American policies that affect people all around the world as well as here at home. It's a place to explore and document how people in mostly poor countries are being exploited, brutalized, invaded, killed and occupied; and how they resist. It is also a place for us to discuss how we can or should relate to those who are resisting, as well as how we might engage in our own forms of resistance.
We believe that everyone has a right to self-determination. Every being has the right to resist being exploited, impoverished, brutalized, invaded, killed and occupied by any force or government.
We also believe that all non-human beings exist for their own purposes. They were not "made" for humans any more than one race of people were made for another, or women were made for men. (Alice Walker said that!)
We welcome and commend liberators, whistleblowers, student activists, community activists, artists, intellectuals and everyday people who have the heart to take a stand on these and other issues in spite of the current environment of fear and censorship.
WE CALL FOR AN IMMEDIATE END TO THE US OCCUPATION AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN IRAQ!
WE STRUGGLE TO BREAK DOWN ALL FORMS OF BIGOTRY AND HATE!
WE ARE EVERYWHERE!

My Interests

Not turning the other cheek. And that's NOT the same as 'an eye for an eye.'

Social and political change, revolutions of all kinds, human and non-human animal liberation, the rights of people to love whomever they will...

Community, compassion, beauty, art, reason, logic, nature...

People from all walks who will take a dignified stand when something's wrong! That's where change starts...

I'd like to meet:

People who will join hands with us to stop all this madness...

WE LOVE YOU!
