“Nothing is required for the triumph of evil but that good men do nothing.”
— quoted by John F. Kennedy [1917-63], often attributed to Edmund Burke, but actual origin unknown
“The revolution is in your neighborhood, it's in your house, it's in your mind.”
— Bill Cosby
“Ideas – even good ideas – are a dime per hundred; it is action that matters.”
— G.E. Nordell
“True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.”
— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. [1929-68]
“The first principle of non-violent action is that of non-cooperation with everything humiliating.”
— César E. Chávez [1927-93]
“Action is the strongest form of communication.” — G.E. Nordell
“An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.” — Friedrich Engels [1820-95]
“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.”
— Henry David Thoreau [1817-62]
“Democracy must not be a spectator sport. The right to protest, the right to assemble freely, the right to petition one's government -
these are not just rights . . . these are obligations.” — Anthony D. Romero, May 2017 T.E.D. Talk in Vancouver, BC
“It is important that you get clear for yourself that your only access to impacting life is action. The world does not care what you intend,
how committed you are, how you feel, or what you think, and certainly it has no interest in what you want and don’t want. Take a look at life
as it is lived and see for yourself that the world only moves for you when you act.”
— philosopher Werner Erhard
“No more 'incremental progress' bull****. It’s time for a wholesale political revolution.”
— musician/activist Michael 'Killer Mike' Render, in February 2019

Activism: Internet & Privacy & Copyright Issues
The internet went live in October 1969 between U.C.L.A. and Stanford Research Institute;
the first email was sent in 1971; the internet was expanded in 1990 by the
National Science Foundation, and became available to the public in 1992.
Everything is worrisome these days, including the existence of essential freedoms on the internet, so we kept the solution-oriented links
for this topic right here and cut a new Worry About Internet Freedom Page in Summer 2014.

Activism: Media & The Bill of Rights
"A newspaper that is true to its purpose concerns itself not only with the way things are “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.”
but with the way [that] they ought to be."
— Joseph Pulitzer [1847-1911]
— A.J. Liebling
The media are both a concern and the means to spread the Revolution. The Oligarchy owns the majority of media outlets in America (and around the world)
and operates them inside an anti-Reason, religionist-fascist mindset. The news is propaganda, entertainment is mindless drivel, and sex & violence
are the order of the day. Independent, progressive media are struggling to take back ground, and are quietly succeeding.
