New Tactics in Human Rights Project

Empowering social change advocates with knowledge, innovation and community – also in french and spanish – Linked on our blogs with Center for Victims of Torture.

Despite an increasingly global and connected network of human rights organizations, strategic and tactical isolation remains a constant challenge to activists across the world.  Confronted with local challenges, groups often resort to “reinventing the wheel” or deploying known tactics that, while familiar, may not offer the best possible solutions.  The creative innovations of one group often remain invisible to others, and these actions therefore fail to enter the collective tool kit of global advocacy … (about 1/2).

UK Uncut

There is no alternative: We are told that the only way to reduce the deficit is to cut to public services. This is certainly not the case. There are alternatives, but the government chooses to ignore them, highlighting the fact that the cuts are based on ideology, not necessity:

  • One alternative is to clamp down on tax dodging by corporations and the rich, estimated to cost the state £95bn a year;
  • Another is to make the banks pay for a crisis they created: last year they paid out over £7bn in bonuses and just four banks made £24bn in profit;
  • The tax avoided and evaded in a single year could pay for the £81bn, four-year cuts programme … (full text about 1/2 /The Cuts).

Coalition of Essential Schools CES

transforming public education – a project of Great Schools Partnership – Linked on our blogs with Great Schools Partnership.

We envision an educational system that equips all students with the intellectual, emotional, and social habits and skills to become powerful and informed citizens who contribute actively toward a democratic and equitable society. Acknowledging that no two schools are or should be alike, we envision schools that necessarily differ from each other in size, scope, and programmatic emphasis while that sharing common principles, practices, and the hallmarks of powerful learning communities within and among each other … (full text Vision).

Tom’s place

for those who seek Peace and Justice

  • Every War has its heroes, those who take risks to protect the values we cherish; this war is no different.
  • We honor those soldiers who risked loss of liberty, economic deprivation, and social ostracism.  Each of these men and women of the military have at some point refused orders in this immoral, illegal, unjustified war the United States is currently waging in Iraq, or the occupation in Afghanistan.  They obeyed their conscience over illegal orders … (Real War Heroes 1/2).
