The Green Mixtape

Another piece of the Future from the Hip-Hop Sustains Crew.

Believe In Dreams

Black, White, Whatever…4 days Till

Big ups and much thanks to Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai (we see you on Def Poetry!) for submitting her viral (Over 9,000 hits on youtube!) video addressing the politics of the New Majority.

As Kelly breaks it down Race & Politics are no longer about Black or White (as if it ever really was). There New Voices demanding to be heard at the table, there is a new political Landscape. As progressive we need to recognize this and Seize the Time.

Big Up to man Jeff Chang for popularizing this idea as well:

“But Obama’s candidacy rests on a new electoral landscape.

Obama has reaped the benefits of demographic shifts that Jackson foresaw over two decades ago in plotting his own campaign–the emergence of sizable communities of color and a progressive, multicultural generation of voters. In 2050, more than half the U.S. will be of color. But 2008 may be the year that this electorate arrives.”

If we, the “New Majority” are the bedrock of this movement then we need a “New” plan to move things forward.

Help us envision that plan at midnight 5th of November @ Union sq.

Pass this video around, support Kelly, and Thank everyone who has been submitting!! keep them coming!!

Direct Action for Change

artofchange1 — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 02:01:22 +0000

Big ups to Ruckus Society for posting this information the Trick or Vote Wiki!

If you are planning to hook up some creative resistance and artistic agitation for change, you wanna come correct. Check out their available resources:

Direct Action Manual

Creative Visuals Guide

But with every action, there is that equal and opposing reaction… if there ever reactionary forces thwarting your activities, then you need to be prepared:

Know Your Rights: Legal Support!

Preventative Actions: Police Liaison!

Watch why direct action strategies are effective as a vehicle for being a critical and creative change agent:

Believe In Dreams…6 days and counting

artofchange1 — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 23:15:26 +0000

We put out the call and you have answered! We asked for your art, your vision, your dreams of another world and the creativity that has come our way has inspired us.

Soulfire submitted the first issue of the online comic series, “Believe In Dreams”. Come by and check out the latest installment of the “Believe In Dreams” series everyday leading up to V-Day.

This is Soulfire’s “Art of Change”:

Believe In Dreams

We have struggled to be understood. Corporate heads have been unable to determine the meaning of our actions, our art, and our words except to profit from our culture. Often our complexity has been misunderstood and watered down.

On the night of November 4th with clock striking 12:01am November 5th We will change that. With OUR own Carnival of Change.
