peace + endless war = columbus

With all the talk of peace prizes in the media and the reality of endless wars, we are reminded of the legacy of columbus… domination of other peoples, domination of the environment, and domination of other belief systems through domination by patriarchy…

As Guerrilla Griots, we make our own media by analyzing important social, political, economic, and environmental issues which affect our lives. Our work involves connecting the dots between 500-year-old issues of prejudice, inequality, oppression, and discrimination with the increased use of policing, exploitation, resource extraction, and incarceration nationwide and abroad. We recognize the life-threatening role of columbus’ legacy in our lives, and its potential to further endanger ALL life on the planet for at least Seven Generations to come unless challenged and abolished.

So we start with ourselves and our families and our actions. It is days and times like these that we are reminded that the “New World Order” is really just the same old %#@! We pay homage to our ancestors who came before us, and before columbus… by using our resources to learn, to grow, to challenge, and to change…

Because we know that we can change the world for ourselves and future generations… transforming the legacy of columbus all the while… we are getting involved in local/regional issues around natural gas drilling, and helping to organize the United States Social Forum II scheduled for late June 2010 in Detroit.

we will keep you posted…

BLESSINGS!
