US Social Forum: Resilience
Too many times I’ve sat in meetings having the same conversation, over and over again—where are the people of color? The answer is not to go comb the streets, dragging in random people to make our group look more diverse. Nor is it to stop doing what we’re doing, if it’s the work we’re called to. An effective answer involves drawing a bigger circle, like this Forum has done, that includes all of our multiple movements and issues within it as allies, and if we have resources or skills or connections, saying to our brothers and sisters, “We’re on the same mission—how can I be of service to you?”

US Social Forum: We Will Build a New World from the Ashes of the Old
Settling into the conference. We get up late but I manage to catch most of a morning workshop led by an environmental network of youth—so sweet to sit in a circle with all these beautiful young people, again, so very diverse, and hear them make connections between the social justice issues and the environmental issues.

US Social Forum–We’re Here!
The organizers of this event have really done it—they’ve brought together a truly diverse crowd. As Lena puts it—“It’s not only every type of person, but every shade and variety of every type.” Black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, every race, age, style of dress and political persuasion seems represented. ..The march is a beautiful vision of what a real social movement could be. Ironically, we march through downtown Detroit, an area blasted and blighted by the city’s economic losses.

Update on the Flotilla
Most horrifying--the autopsy report on the nine Turkish activists who were killed report that they were shot close range, several in the head and face, and multiple times.

Attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla
Early Monday morning, at 4:30 AM local time, commandos from an Israeli military helicopter assaulted the lead ship of the Gaza Freedom flotilla while it was still in international waters. Soldiers droped from the air in full combat mode and fired live ammunition at the unarmed activists—killing somewhere between ten and twenty people and wounding dozens.

A Writer’s Life or Why I’ve Been a Bad Blogger
Working on something big, like a book, for me is a bit like diving underwater. It requires a kind of ruthlessness, putting everything else aside—as much as that is possible.

Pruning Time
I realize that I haven’t written for a while on this blog. I came back from Cairo and jumped into teaching our Earth Activist Training—for me that’s two weeks of twelve-hour days, with setup and cleanup at the end, and no time or energy left for writing or anything extraneous except coping with the physical [...]

Gaza Freedom March: Now What?
I had hoped to send this out a week ago, but life—in the form of our Earth Activist Training and its twelve-hour teaching days—intervened. But I want to close off this series of narratives with some thoughts on what to do next.
Segregation in the south did not end because the civil rights movement won over [...]
