ACTIVISM, by Deleted on Aug 25, 2013 22:41:24 GMT 1, Recent debates on corporate responsibility, women's rights, Iraq and whether Banksy is political, got me thinking it might be useful to have a thread where people can post info, weblinks, docs, social issues, events and causes that are close to peoples hearts.
As we're online thought this was a good one to kick things off.

This site is a great resource for activist based films. www.filmsforaction.org/
Look forward to seeing some interesting and inspiring content.

ACTIVISM, by Deleted on Aug 25, 2013 23:26:33 GMT 1, Isnt the way the world is run terrible?, ive seen many many photographs like this one, makes a person realise that 'in general' most of the everyday things that make us worry are in reality not even worth a thought, we all need to be brought down to Earth every now and again. It is indeed very upsetting.
I do what i can for Staffords, i know this is nothing compared to what some of you lot do but its all i know,ive seen animals in skips and others beaten to near death and many more horrors, its really very upsetting but people have to help and do something as we cant all just ignore it can we!.
Bollox to the next print release,im giving my bit away to a good cause instead. Soz to be soppy but this is real not just pretty pictures,i myself am sobbing here and if a person can see a picture like this one and not want to do something then there is something very wrong with that person IMO. Nighty night. David

Nighty night. David www.ted.com/talks/peter_singer_the_why_and_how_of_effective_altruism.html Wiz Good on you. I would suggest if you want to make a difference you make the most of your contributions. Watch this Peter Singer video on effective altruism. I've found reading his book the Life you can save quite empowering. I've pledged to give a substantial portion of my income each year to highly effective charities. I hope everyone will take the time watch. We can all do more than we think.
I'll be selling a big chunk of my art collection to raise money for effective charities shortly. I hope others will join me in doing the same as well.

ACTIVISM, by Deleted on Aug 26, 2013 0:42:53 GMT 1, Great shout Nuart. I'd like to start with this website: www.theyworkforyou.com/ Uk only I'm afraid. Get on your MP's case. Get active! It's an easy way to start. It's the apathy of most people that allow bad people to get away with things and it in fact encourages them.

ACTIVISM, by Deleted on Sept 11, 2013 19:41:42 GMT 1, I know it's not chaining myself to a tree in the Amazon or climbing Big Ben in a Spiderman suit but I love these little stickers and what they stand for. www.ithrewup.com/index.html You can buy the stickers pretty cheaply on the site and then just activate as you wander.

Really interesting read.
"Since 9/11, 53 people have been killed by terrorists in the UK. Every one of those deaths is tragic. So is every one of the 26,805 deaths to have occurred on Britain's roads between 2002 and 2012 inclusive, an average of 6.67 deaths a day. Let's call that the SDRD, standard daily road deaths. The terrorist toll for 12 years comes to 0.0121 SDRD. This means that 12 years of terrorism has killed as many people in the UK as eight days on our roads."
