We, the Jewish and Palestinian Israeli women of Bat Shalom, call upon all women to join our active struggle for peace and equality. We refuse to silently bear witness to the destruction of the hope and future of a peaceful reconciliation.

Visit the Critical Mass Hub Website if you want to know more about Critical Mass. Nathan participated in Critical Mass actions in Sydney in the '90s.

Defeat Howard! (defeathoward.com) Let's get rid of him once & for all! we believe that the heartless, selfish and opportunistic policies of the Howard Government have reached such levels of depravity that there can be no more important or urgent goal for any caring and concerned Australian than the resounding defeat of the Howard Government at the forthcoming federal election. It is our further belief that the damage to the psyche of Australian society by the continuing existence of the Howard Government is such that the defeat of this Government requires the utmost priority. Such is the urgency of this matter, that it is imperative for Labor, the Greens and Democrats to put aside their differences and work together to achieve this goal. We have therefore launched a DEFEAT HOWARD CAMPAIGN with the following website www.defeathoward.com and urge all concerned Australians to visit this site and find out how they may assist with the campaign.

Dropping Knowledge (www.droppingknowledge.org) Questions can change the world dropping knowledge is an intercultural platform for multiple viewpoints, open to every citizen of the world. We challenge the notion that only the media and certain experts can speak out on important matters. We think that the exchange of ideas, insights, values and opinions by free voices around the world can create a foundation of wisdom that grows, inspires and benefits us all. We call the practice of asking questions and sharing wisdom dropping knowledge. To us, it means questioning conventional ways of thinking and acting. It means dropping the assumption we know the answers and making room for fresh thoughts and solutions. However you define knowledge, by dropping it freely to others, we all gain wisdom.

Free Energy Sources (www.wanttoknow.info/newenergysources) Want to know about FREE ENERGY? LIKE TO RUN YOUR CAR ON WATER, FOR EXAMPLE?

None of these technologies have made it to the open consumer market, however. Why this is true will be discussed shortly. First, here is a short list of new energy technologies. The common feature connecting all of these discoveries is that they use a small amount of one form of energy to control or release a large amount of a different kind of energy.

Listening to our father stories without judgement is a powerful tool for healing. It is for men who want to father, men who want to talk about their own fathers, what they have learned from them and the joy and pain they have felt. Women who want to share stories: how their fathers have shaped their lives and how fathering impacts on their own families. We have collected hundreds of children’s stories, 'Messages to Dads', telling the difference their father has made in their life by his daily presence or his absence. As men become aware of the impact they have on their children, whether they live with them or not, this creates a change in priorities in favour of children and is part of the positive social change that the festival team is supporting. See you there.
