lag4peace: Don’t Iraq Iran

Posted by Ruby Sinreich in Advocacy 2.0, nptech, politics, Second Life on November 30, 2007

FOR's virtual office Tomorrow a large coalition of activists is organizing a series of events in Second Life to raise awareness about preventing a war with Iran. I’m really excited about it and I will be there most of the day helping out as a media contact. This event also inspired me to add some Iran info to the virtual office for my organization the Fellowship of Reconciliation (seen at left).

There is a whole day of events, but if you don’t want to be there all day, please come and check out the keynote and opening rally at 11:45am EST. It will be at the Commonwealth Assembly Area which can hold over 300 avatars (a lot for SL!).

Full info about the day of events is below. Sorry to post the entire press release, but this info doesn’t seem to be online anywhere else.

Love the soldier, hate the war

Posted by Ruby Sinreich in politics, rants on November 12, 2007

In honor of the holiday, I want shout out to my two favorite veterans: Jonathan Kuniholm: Iraq veteran, engineer, co-founder of the Open Prosthetics Project; and Stan Goff: veteran of numerous conflicts from Vietnam to Haiti, author, blogger, founder of Insurgent American, and co-founder of Bring Them Home Now.

I don’t believe either of them shares my view of militarism, but they have both learned the high cost of war both personally and societally. I appreciate their dedication to serve not just this country, but this planet.
