<title>Freedom To Fascism</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        After taking a class in Indian street food, we made our way to a film I didn't know much about (bad me). I left feeling like viewing it was a patriotic act. It is only a tiny bit conspiracy flavored, just enough to keep it away from terrifying and into entertaining.  

Jason and I are committed to burn 100 copies of this copyleft film and distribute them to the people we wished were watching with us.  The people that we talk to about where we're headed and what our options are. The people we ask what a revolution would look like. The people we think can make a difference. So keep your eyes peeled for our gift. 

We can't wait to talk about it with you. It is not really about paying taxes. It is permission to craft a new model. We are inspired to act and think you will be to.<br/>Tags: community, film, rise, taxes, clinton street, freedomtofascism, federalreservebank<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/290600">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Unemployed Unity Council (1934)*</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The Communist Party organized “unemployment councils” during the depression, giving unemployed workers a means to support each other and struggle for political change in solidarity with employed workers. By the end of 1931, those in Portland had more than 3000 registered members. When efforts to work within the system failed, these councils often took direction action in defense of their members interests. For example, after some 400 unemployed stormed City Hall, the city agreed to provide housing and shelter for over 1000 unemployed working people.

The main council headquarters was the location for the infamous 1934 police raid at which Dirk DeJonge was arrested for violating the Criminal Syndicalism Law. Criminal syndicalism was defined as "the doctrine which advocates crime, physical violence, sabotage or any unlawful acts or methods as a means of accomplishing or effecting industrial or political change or revolution." DeJonge, once a Communist Party candidate for Mayor of Portland, was charged with engaging in criminal syndicalism for giving a speech at the council headquarters that charged the police with siding with the steamship and stevedoring companies in their effort to break the longshore strike. He was found guilty despite a lack of any evidence that he had violated the law. He appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court and in January 1937 he was cleared of all charges.

<title>InterFuse 2006</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        InterFuse is a yearly, three day camping oriented event held in Missouri that upholds the ideals of the Burning Man Festival. It is a Midwest Regional Burn, similar to other Regional Burns held throughout the world every year. This year's InterFuse will be held May 5-7, 2006 at Camp Ozark Avalon - located in Boonville, Missouri, off I-70 between Kansas City and St. Louis.

The goal of InterFuse is to unite the scattered Burners and pre-Burners of the Midwest in the flames of this celebration of Art, Fire, and Life - further spreading the unique Burning Experience through the region.

Like at Burning Man, we will build a temporary city-community of tents, domes, light, dance, fire and music in the wilderness (in this case the forest, not the desert). We will celebrate our diversity continuously from Friday until Sunday morning. Then we will dismantle our city and Leave No Trace.<br/>Tags: camping, community, art, burning man, burningman, bm, regional<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/83178">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Marc Singer made this incredible documentary about homeless people living in a Manhattan subway tunnel. One of the most remarkable things about this film is how beautiful it is. I think that Singer is also a still photographer. The film is shot in black and white and very carefully lit. It's some of the most beautiful photography I've seen in a movie.

The characters are compelling, the story is inspiring and full of drama. <br/>Tags: love, homeless, movie, community, film, drugs, documentary, friendship, loneliness, trials, amtrak, crack, fighting, assholes, endurance, effort<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/83400">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Most gaming oriented sites today have some sort of review system, so it helps you decide which game you will buy next. But you often realise that a high score doesn't necessarily mean that "you" will like this game.

So the goal of Gamien site is to have people tell what games they liked and (also) those they didn't like, son they can get in touch with users that share the same interest. Users can also get suggestion on games that might be of interest to them according to other users that share similar tastes.

<title>Lee Abbey - Christian Holiday, Conference and Retreat Centre</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        After returning from Scotland in 1991 I spent a number of months out of work, until a friend told me about Lee Abbey and suggested I contact them and apply to work there. Lee Abbey is run by a resident community of Christians who stay for between 6 months and 2 years.  I joined in September 1993 working in the kitchen, then moved on to working in Audio-Visual, recording the daily conference meetings. 
Here I fell in love, firstly with a South African called Ruth, and later with the woman whom I would later marry.<br/>Tags: retreat, devon, christian, community<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/911124">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>We Media Miami</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        We Media Miami explores and fosters the use of digital media to build and improve real communities in a connected society.

This is the third year for the We Media conference. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore spoke at We Media 05 hosted by The Associated Press in New York; BBC Managing Director Mark Thompson, Reuters CEO Tom Glocer, actor Richard Dreyfuss and Nitin Desai of the United Nations participated in the We Media Global Forum in 2006 hosted by Reuters and the BBC in London.

In Miami, the conference will focus on two connected themes:

* Community: How can media and communications in a multitude of forms, produced or influenced by an ever-expanding multitude of sources, serve and strengthen the communities where people live?
* Investment: In a shifting communications marketplace, how will investors, public and private funders or new formulations of social entrepreneurship pay for and sustain the civic enterprises of news and information?

The program includes a series of roundtable discussions and a variety of participatory activities involving communities, individuals and organizations to help participants understand and address the challenges of a changing multi-media world, and to stimulate innovation and investment in projects and services that strengthen communities.

Here is a clip I found on You Tube related to the We Media conference in the UK

        The park has a natural watershed along the shores of San Francisco Bay. Features include an extensive intertidal salt marsh, meadow and oak habitats, that are home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, squirrels and numerous birds.</p><p>A Chinese shrimp-fishing village thrived on this site in the 1880s. Nearly 500 people, originally from Canton, China, lived in the village. In its heyday, there were three general stores, a marine supply store and a barber shop.</p><p>Fisherman by trade in their native country, they gravitated to the work they knew best.

The large majority of questions "slash" concerns (from people after watching Episode One) dealt with Pedal's exact process, and in relation to this; the exact results. 1) Who are we following? 2) Who are we interviewing? 3) Are we driving, or also riding bicycles? 4) How long will this take?

Which brings us to "episode two" - where I do my best to answer these questions as clearly as possible, while walking through what's to be expected during filming. As always I love to hear your feedback!<br/>Tags: drawing, bicycle, blog, community, indie, vlog, documentary, pedal, coasttocoast, episode<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/1117023">Map this on Platial</a><br />

Hopefully you've watched Episode Two, and have a basic understanding of "how" the relationship between bikers and crew will function.

Here's what we are looking for: A small group of bicyclists - already planning to ride coast to coast (west to east), preferably along Adventure Cycling's Northern Route, during the months June & July of this year.
The less money you have as a group: the better. The more you are fundamentally opposed to staying in hotels and hitching rides: the better.

So, how does this work? Easy - simply introduce yourself. You can do this by sending an email. You can write a blog post and leave a link in the comments of this site. You can use your friend's camera to post a video on Blip.tv, Revver or YouTube. Contact us through Pedal's mySpace.

Be creative. This process is simply an introduction. The more you include - the better for starting a conversation.

The deadline for introductions is May 1st.

    (Note: I should make it clear that Pedal is not a safety net... meaning Pedal will not be financially involved or supportive in anyone's travels. We are merely searching for people who are comfortable in being tailed - as unobtrusively as possible, of course.)<br/>Tags: bicycle, blog, community, indie, vlog, documentary, funding, pedal, coasttocoast<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/1117031">Map this on Platial</a><br />
