Active Compassion: Working for a Sane and Just Society

ACTIVE COMPASSION is a 3-day conference on meditation and social action that will take place April 2-4.

Jann Jackson, longtime meditation practitioner and currently Executive Director of Advocates for Children and Youth, will lead the conference and give the keynote lectures. A Buddhist and meditator for over thirty years, she also has many years of experience in advocacy work, including serving as associate director of the House of Ruth for 14 years.

Registration is open to anyone between the ages of 18-30. It should be noted: NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH MEDITATION IS NECESSARY TO ATTEND THIS CONFERENCE!

The conference aspires to provide attendees with cognitive and emotional tools to empower themselves and their communities. We will seek a balance between the view/experience of meditation practice and the practical nuts and bolts matters of social justice work. The primary vehicle for this will be a panel discussion and focus groups led by six experienced meditators who also have an extensive background in the field of social justice. In addition, Jann Jackson will present mind-body exercises based on the work of Angeles Arrien, an anthropologist who has studied indigenous wisdom traditions.

The conference is a unique opportunity for social justice activists to enrich themselves and their effectiveness as community organizers and to unite with other civic-minded peers in order to make new connections. ACTIVE COMPASSION aspires to invigorate and strengthen existing social movements in Baltimore and to bring about genuine lasting benefit to the city and beyond.

Conferencia-taller de Carbon Defense League / Hactivist (EEUU) + Run Level Zero (Madrid)

Hactivist imparte un taller sobre herramientas tecnológicas libres


Primer acto de las II Jornadas Copyleft sobre propiedad intelectual y
patentes

Nathan Martin de los colectivos de artistas y activistas Carbon Defense
League/Hactivist (EEUU) y Zako de Runlevelzero (Madrid) presentarán el próximo
domingo 4 de abril, un taller de su proyecto Flashpoint que permite convertir
una máquina de fotos desechable, en un aparato que proyecta mensajes
luminosos en las paredes de la ciudad. Además, ofrecerán sus reflexiones sobre el
acceso libre a la tecnología y las formas de subvertir los usos de los
productos tecnológicos creados por las corporaciones. Este es el primer acto de las
II Jornadas Copyleft que tendrán lugar en el Espai Obert y en el Museo de Arte
Contemporáneo de Barcelona (Macba) del 15 al 18 de abril y que están
financiadas por la Universidad de Andalucía.

Carbon Defense League es un colectivo de desarrolladores de harware y
software que centran sus intervenciones en subvertir tecnologías populares como
hicieron en anteriores proyectos, modificando la Game Boy para poder introducir
juegos propios o transformando los teléfonos móviles para usarlos de maneras
que escapan al control de las grandes empresas de telecomunicaciones.

Actualmente trabajan con una red de hackers y activistas con nodos en
Australia, Holanda, Alemania, Reino Unido, Canadá y España. Runlevelzero son los
colaboradores españoles que acompañarán a Carbon Defense League en la
presentación y con quienes comparten el compromiso con el desarrollo de perspectivas
alternativas sobre las nuevas tecnologías y sus aplicaciones.

Con este presentación se iniciará la serie de encuentros y debates que
tienen como objetivo facilitar herramientas críticas y analíticas para comprender
hasta qué punto la tecnología está cambiando las nociones de propiedad y
valor, así como la naturaleza misma de la riqueza. Se trata de dar respuestas
ante la confusión legal y social que estamos viviendo a medida que los esfuerzos
por proteger las nuevas formas de propiedad con viejos métodos se vuelven
cada vez más vanos e ineficaces. En ellas se debatirá sobre cómo la propiedad
intelectual y las patentes afectan al desarrollo de áreas del conocimiento y
la creación como el arte, la música, la escritura, la programación, los
medicamentos, la biotecnología y la ciencia en general. Pero también se ofrecerán
respuestas prácticas y legales como las licencias libres basadas en el propio
copyright pero cuyo objetivo es proteger el acceso libre a la cultura.

Para estos talleres y conferencias contamos con las ponencias de Vandana
Shiva , Antonio Negri, Jesús M. González Barahona, representantes de Cretive
Commons, Act up, Laser y Traficantes de sueños entre otros, además de la
participación de numerosos programadores, abogados, artistas, científicos y otros
creadores interesados en trabajar a fondo estas cuestiones.

Las II Jornadas Copyleft están siendo organizadas de manera colectiva a
través de una red que tiene su base en Sindominio, un proyecto telématico
autogestionado para la transformación social. La primera edición de estas jornadas
tuvo lugar el año pasado en Madrid en La Casa Encendida (Fundación Caja
Madrid) y en el Centro Social Okupado El Laboratorio III.

Free Meal at L.I.N.K.

The purpose of L.I.N.K., the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen, is to provide a pleasant, safe place for the hungry or lonely to share a free, nutritious meal and the companionship of one another. We believe loneliness can be as painful as hunger, companionship as powerful as love. Anyone who desires a meal is served, no questions asked. Diners are treated as our invited guests. We do not provide counseling, but rather refer individuals to appropriate agencies when they ask for help. Our focus is on food and fellowship.

North Country Coop Re-Grand Opening

Chicks on Sticks, David Stenshoel, and the Jo Dan Drummers perform at North
Country Co-op's Grand Opening April 2-4, 2004



North Country Co-op, the Twin Cities¹ oldest surviving food cooperative, is
celebrating its Grand Re-opening April 2nd - 4th. The celebration will
showcase the bold new look of North Country Co-op¹s store: brighter colors,
better layout, and a greatly expanded selection.

Chicks on Sticks, the all-women's stilt walking group, will be at North
Country, grooving to David Stenshoel of Boiled in Lead and Sam Adams of the
Blackbirds, as well as the Jo Dan Drummers. Puppeteers and other
entertainment promise to make North Country¹s opening gala fun for all ages.

This free, family-friendly entertainment, plus special discounts, and food,
last from 11:00 - 8:00 PM all weekend on April 2-4th. North Country Co-op
is located at 1929 S. 5th Street, near the intersection of Cedar and
Riverside on the West Bank of Minneapolis.

After buying their building in September of 2003, North Country Co-op¹s
staff and volunteers decided that the store needed a new look. ³We¹ll have
the same healthful, nutritious food, the same great prices, the same
knowledgeable and friendly staff,² says store associate Christopher
DeAngelis. ³But we have lots of wonderful new additions. For example, for
the lunch-time shopper, we have hot fresh pizza from Spokes, and a salad
bar.²

North Country Co-op has also added, among other things, Fair trade bananas
and mangoes, and an expanded selection of healthy, ready-made soups. And,
in the Body Care Department, an increasingly popular local handmade soap by
Dun Laoghaire is now available.

Pioneer Valley Vigil for Peace and Justice

The Sunday vigil was begun by local "Parents and Grandparents for Peace" on July 14, 1979, under the street-wide banner: "TOWARD GLOBAL NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT AND A VERIFIABLE US-USSR MORATORIUM ON NUCLEAR TESTING." The vigil has met every Sunday since, from 12 noon to 1 p.m., barring a couple of impossible blizzards. It has passed out thousands of leaflets on a great variety of issues under the slogan, "If You Want Peace, Work for Justice," and participants have varied from a dozen or so die-hard activists to fifty and more during the Gulf War.
