Food and Drinks!
Activists on and off campus are working in fragmented environments, running from one meeting to the next when we could all be meeting together and limiting ourselves to fighting one cause when all of our fights are connected.
Occasionally, groups will, for a short period of time, unite around a single event or issue, only to float off into their separate spheres once the issue is resolved or no longer be relevant.
No lasting bonds are formed. No permanent avenues of communication are created. Activists do not develop relationships with one another that are based on understanding and respect and that would facilitate mobilization in the future.
Members of AFRO, Africans for Radical Organizing, hope to form a community in which activists with diverse backgrounds and concerns can create a lasting, interdependent community of struggle in order to present a unified front against a system which thrives by dividing us.

Mon March 3 2003 - 12:40:45 am
Mark your calendar for the first annual UT Earth Summit, which will take place on Saturday, March 22. It's free and will be an excellent training on how to run environmental projects on campus.
We'll discuss how to run campus "greening" (aka environmental) project in general, and then we'll focus in on three areas: environmental assessments of campus, energy use and efficiency, and transportation issues. Suzanne Savanick, founder of the Sustainable Campuses Initiative at the University of Minnesota, will teach us about what other schools have done to address these issues and then how we can implement projects at UT. Then, we'll put knowledge into action by launching a new campus environmental project! | Vote online for the next annual University of Texas at Austin Centennial Lecturer

About Us
IF YOU CARE ABOUT
Your and your children's future .
. .
The environment . . .
Social justice . . .
Democracy . .
.
Peace and non-violence . . .
Then Welcome to the Green Movement!
Green Is For
You
If you are interested in taking positive
action to protect the Earth and its inhabitants, then you are probably
Green. Green support has come from people of every political leaning,
including many who had given up on the political process as way of
creating positive change. People around the world are joining the Greens
to bring a new vision directly onto the political stage. Moving beyond old
confining political boundaries, the Green Movement is based on timeless
values: living respectfully, in dignity and harmony with the land, its
creatures, and each other. Help us in building a world in which we and
future generations will live in dignity, respect, and harmony with each
other and the Earth.
THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE!
The
international Green Movement is working to create sustainable alternatives
to the social and ecological crises of our times. These are the
alternatives Greens support:
- A value-based politics with a holistic perspective in contrast to
the conflict-based politics of domination, exploitation, consumption,
and competition controlling society today.
- An expanded definition of ecology, one that recognizes the intimate,
interconnected relationships between economic, social, and environmental
processes.
- Opposition to militarism, corporate tyranny, racism, sexism,
heterosexism, and ecological and animal abuse.
- Peace, and social, economic, and environmental justice.
- Creating compassionate, sustainable alternatives expressed in
community, union organizing, economic cooperatives, direct action,
political campaigns, multicultural organizing, and ecological
lifestyles.
