[div class="excerpt" style="border:solid 1px #000000"]Around the world, the realization is dawning that the problems we face are linked — from unemployment and poverty to Wall Street corruption, from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to the burning forests of Indonesia, from hydro-fracking to growing fundamentalism. As these crises intensify, a chorus of citizen voices is rising up in response. People are demanding an end to the exploitation of the many for the profit of the few.
Increasingly, we know what we’re against. It’s now time to decide what we’re for. And how to get from here to there.
