About Me
In a culture lead by consumer markets, the way we spend our money is our most powerful voice; to keep this in mind is a challenge, but our obligation - to be mindful in EVERY buying decisions we make - from shopping at the farmers market, to boycotting unfair businesses, and spreading the word about companies that ARE Fair Trade, who treat their producers with dignity and respect, and are working for a better world.
"As anyone knows who has been part of a movement, a demonstration, a campaign, or a strike, struggles undertaken for the most limited and prosaic goals have a way of opening the most profound and lyrical sense of possibility in their participants. To experience even briefly a movement's solidarity, equality, reciprocity, morality, collective and individual empowerment, reconciliation of individual and group, is to have a foretaste of the peaceable kingdom; Once we have experienced solidarity, we can never forget it. It may be short-lived, but its heady sensations remain. It may be still largely a dream, but we have experienced that dream. It may seem impossible, but we have looked into the face of its possibilities." -Ronald Aronson, After Marxism ......................................................................................................................................................... "There's enough wealth for everyone, but some have most and most have some. And there's enough food for us all to flourish, tell me why are so many malnourished? You say there's weakness in an empty pocket- No, I'll tell you there's weakness in an empty heart. And you say there's strength in the power to control, and I say NO, there's strength in only love and compassion. All that we have is hope and love... we can rise above, we can RISE ABOVE THE MADNESS." ~Brett Dennen
