After hearing the appeal presented by the defense team of the Suchitoto 13, activists who were arrested at the July 2 protest against water privatization in Suchitoto, El Salvador — the judges reiterated the charge that they committed acts of terrorism, and will be tried ‘accordingly.’

The big issue here, is that the charge of terrorism is completely absurd. The demonstration itself, led by the water workers union SETA, CRIPDES, and a number of other groups — was peaceful. Yes, they blocked the road leading …

North Korea today is home to a network of several dozen concentration camps rivaling those of Auschwitz and Dachau of days past, hosting over 250,000 political prisoners and their families. North Korea is a prison state- there are no freedoms of religion, speech, movement, assembly- even the right to leave the nation is barred from the people.

A couple months ago I promised to post some articles that challenge conventional activism and point to the obvious need for us to do things a bit differently…. I’ve been waiting for the right moment to put them up, and thought now would be a good time.

One thing I would like to contribute (which stixzz reminded me of, on Red Jenny’s blog) is that we have to be careful not to entrap ourselves within absolutes here — insisting that “everyone has to do this”, and that “if we don’t so this exactly as I say, we will fall” …

In Australia, a group of women came together and started a campaign to end sexual violence in their communities. They received no government funding, they made no threats against the entire community, there was no invasion or theft of land… There was just a group of women taking a leadership role in their community to end sexual violence.
