kristine replied to Alex Algebra's discussion 'FWT Autonomy (moved from the WFW group)'

One of the things that's needed for starfish to be successful is clarity and simplicity of mission. I think WATS has the potential to be this. I think a very simple meeting template could be this as well. I think voter registration in 2008 was…

FWT Quarterly Training at Flobots.org Community Space

May 15, 2010 from 10:30am to 2:30pm

We have a lot to say about what we don’t like and what isn’t socially just about our current neighborhood, city, country, and world. But we often have a difficult time investing in what a tangible vision of the world we want would look like. Using the metaphor of building a new kind of city, we will explore the ways intersections of identities, systems, stories, history, and imagination inform what kind of a world we dream of building. We will also be using art and dialogue to start practicing…See More

from Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

On Sunday morning, May 17th, at 7:30AM I will be leaving Denver, CO to travel to Israel/Palestine for 2 weeks. I'm going on a "fact finding" trip, organized by Friends of Sabeel. "Sabeel is an international peace movement initiated by Palestinian Christians in the Holy Land who seek a just peace based on two states-Palestine and Israel-as defined by international law and existing United Nations resolutions." Friends… Continue

At 9:54am on June 13, 2010, Angie Aker said…: Hi Kristine, Nice to make your acquaintance. Life After Hate is a peace education non-profit organization based in Milwaukee,WI (though I split my time between Milwaukee & NY). We've zeroed in on 3 items of disparity we feel we can both make a difference in and which can be most impactful on the more nebulous "world peace" concept. Racism, Domestic Violence, & Access to Nutritious Foods, which are topics we write about in our e-zine www.lifeafterhate.org, and also the 3 types of programs we're developing. I am intensely interested in your recent trip to Israel/Palestine. What timing! Were you returning just as the flotilla tragedy occurred?

Anyway, here's a couple links to that French singer I was talking about. http://www.myspace.com/officieltairo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVkINJL-wgk&feature=player_embedded I especially love his song Mama and L'animal geint. (:

I don't really know quite how to phrase it but your religious findings sound fascinating.
Tis true the Quakers have a distinct way of speaking, I really enjoy the phrasing the (older, especially) F/friends use as well.
And in answer to the final part, no, no I have not

I think you've been hacked, or are you really stuck in London and need a ton of money?
Peace,

At 7:13pm on October 14, 2009, Aviva Joffe said…: Thanks for the message - I hadn't known about your house's potlucks but I take a weekly ceramics class on Tuesdays so don't think that will work :-( The 9th, however, might work for a skills-sharing. Could you email me more information of what would be expected? That is the week of our annual awards breakfast (which I would love to send you an invitation to if you send me your mailing address) and our honorees from Israel and Palestine will be in town, so I may be busy but can see if it can work. Send me more info and I'll get back to you :-)
