activism and information
This page was set up in order to make people more aware of activism taking place in their areas. We will post listings on here for upcoming protests, demonstrations, festivals/gatherings, boycotts, etc. taking place throughout the world, as well as post up reports that people send in to let others know about different things that are going on in different areas.
This section will be updated as often as we get new information to put up here. So, if something is going to take place in your area, or if something did take place in your area, and you would like to make more people aware of it, then please feel free to send information our way and we'll post it up.
Also, we are using this page to post up informative writings that cover political subjects. we will be posting new stuff on here all the time and, as with protest reports, if you have something that you think other people should be made more aware about then please feel free to send it in.
