just a few pics of some friends & volunteers I worked with at the 2006 Walk for Justice - a fundraiser to support truly independent, non-profit and cooperative organizations making a difference in this world

Everyone is welcome at this free event, where all are encouraged to give, receive, and create on their own terms. This free and open market will be a celebration of the cooperation and gift-giving that make life possible beyond the constraints of capitalist markets. The event is self-organized by everyone who participates. No authority rules over the RRFM.
Everyone is invited to arrive between 11:00 and 5:00 pm with goods, services, skills,performances, stories, crafts, food, games, music, clothing, furniture, plants, and resources to give and share with others in the community. There is no buying, selling or exchanging involved—in this market, everything is strictly free.

Better than a yard sale, the Really Really Free Market has no price tags! Bring food, art, games, furniture, skills, music, clothes, and anything else you can imagine!

p.s. if ANYONE at all objects to their face posted here, please let me know so I can remove the photo until i get software again to blur the face out...

that said, my own personal belief is that the best defense against a regime that works based on secrets is for each of us to be as forward and open as possible. The more each of us stands up for our beliefs, the more support we have, and the less ability "they" have to work. It reduces the chance of something happening, because they know we've got each others back. Granted they still can be openly aggressive, but the more people they have to take down, the harder it is for them to operate, and the more likely that others will have the opportunity that they are not alone in their beliefs. Ok, that's my diatribe. Peace everyone.

The day after turkey day is the busiest shopping day of the year. Random community members joined up today dressed as zombies to demonstrate the mindlessness of gross consumerism. We rode the light rail to the MOA, playing music and dancing, encouraging others to celebrate and have fun. We want people to both stop thinking about shopping, as well as think about what they are buying and from whom when they do.
