On Boycotting the Beijing Olympics

Recent events -- in Darfur, in Tibet, in Burma, and within China -- force an inevitable debate about the appropriate political and moral response to China's hosting of the Summer 2008 Games, and in particular whether some form of boycott is warranted.

Reject Defeatism... Organize!

ZNet. By Stephen R. Shalom and Michael Albert March 19, 2003. The onset of war does not negate the unprecedented antiwar activism in recent weeks and months, nor does it provide reason to diminish our efforts. Quite the contrary. Struggle for change should not be apocalyptic. The task is to steadily amass growing commitment to prevent U.S. imperial, anti-democratic, illegal, and immoral assaults on defenseless third world nations. We must persist in our rejection of war on Iraq, on Iran, on Syria, on Venezuela, on North Korea.

The Risk of Change: Thinking and Acting Globally and Locally

"Think Globally-Act Locally," read the fading bumper stickers on thousands of cars and guitar cases across the United States. This influential statement has defined a popular activist strategy that politically connects our local movements with those in other countries. But what does this idea mean and where has it gotten those of us working toward social change in our communities and across the world? In this article the writer tries to reconcile the gap between his struggle as an activist to prevent the war in Iraq, and his struggle as worker in the service industry to democratise his workplace.
