Almost daily there are marches leaving from Occupied Dewey Square. There are interesting political actions happening and being planned every single day in Boston. Summits, workshops, film screenings, civil disobedience, and direct actions, why aren't they being reported and announced on this website? Why does indymedia work so well in other parts of the world, while it flounders here? |

In this day and age it's so easy for us to think only of ourselves and not be willing to give up some of who we are for things greater than ourselves and the drives of our own base needs. It isn't easy to put aside our ambitions regarding money, power, fame or even family for a small amount of time given in service of our community, nation or even the good of those suffering in other nations for any amount of time. Often we label people giving of themselves in such ways saints, heroes, miracle workers etc. In reality they are usually just people that decided they needed or wanted to give of themselves because they really wanted to invest the time/lend a hand, etc.</ |

Sometimes it explodes. But social explosions are rare events. Are the Wall Street protests and their nationwide copycats an explosion or just a flare up?
For an explosion to happen there must be not only explosive material, but plenty of oxygen to feed the fire. For social movements this means that enough working people, students, and unemployed find the necessary unity and inspiration to push through obstacles and maintain enthusiasm. The Wall Street protests have ingredients that can create such unity but the threat of extinguishing it is real. |

We, the undersigned women of African descent and anti-violence advocates, activists, scholars, organizational and spiritual leaders wish to address the SlutWalk.

 The Philippine Airlines Employees’ Association (PALEA) today asserted that Philippine Airlines (PAL) President Jaime Bautista’s announcement that they no longer acknowledge Gerry Rivera and Bong Palad as union officers exposes union busting as the real aim of outsourcing. “Truly a fish is caught by its mouth. Actually PAL is not just recognizing me and Palad as union officers but 62% of PALEA’s leadership and 70% of its membership who have been illegally lockout and terminated. Outsourcing thus is tantamount to union busting,” stated Gerry Rivera, PALEA president and vice chair of Partido ng Manggagawa (PM - Labor Party). |
