MichiganPeaceNetwork - Creating a Commons

The MichiganPeaceNetwork network is a commons for social change activists in Michigan. A virtual town square where participating organizations post their actions and events, promote targeted eletters, petitions or national boycotts, create online fundraisers; and, to achieve common goals, gather allies and build issue based cooperative relationships with other organizations across the state and across state lines.

The MichiganPeaceNetwork network is part of a larger commons of 40 networks, (over 1600 organizations) the Peace Justice and Environment Project (pjep.org), that serves all 50 states. The PJEP networks offer organizations (homepage news articles) and individuals (blog entries) space to share news and opinion pieces with activists throughout the country. PJEP networks also share a resource library (growing all the time) of docs, videos, audio files and weblinks that are available to any visitor to the site(s) like https://www.dienneti.it/. Add your organization to the Commons. Register to get email alerts from MichiganPeaceNetwork.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Francois Hollande and other heads of state at Paris march Neither do we condone the bombings and murder of journalists at their headquarters, however much we are repulsed by their racist, chauvinist and hateful Islamophobic caricatures of oppressed people. Neither do we condone the subsequent murders at the Paris Kosher supermarket. Yes, we are for free speech, freedom of expression and democratic rights for all, including the Muslim and antiwar activists who were banned by the French government from street protests in solidarity...

Don't Sleep Through the Revolution: Martin Luther King 1966 Ware Lecture

In 1966 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a frank and powerful message for Unitarian Universalists (and everyone else): "Don't sleep through the revolution." "The idea whose time has come today is the idea of freedom and human dignity, and so all over the world we see something of freedom explosion, and this reveals to us that we are in the midst of revolutionary times. An older order is passing away and a new order is coming into being. . . . . The role of the church [is] to broaden horizons, to challenge the status quo, and to question and break mores. . . . . The church... [ more ]

Traveling to the Climate Change March

Global warming has a different face in every region of the world, but its common theme is that it disproportionately wreaks havoc on the poor. As ocean levels rise and coastal cities flood, it will be the urban poor who are left homeless. As drought becomes more prevalent in some African regions, crop yields will decrease as much as 50%, leading to food shortages. As water supplies become stressed, border disputes and international conflicts will erupt. Climate change and its intersection with other forms of oppression is the human rights issue of the 21st century. To address global warming... [ more ]
