“We are all longing to go home to some place we have never been – a place half-remembered and half-envisioned we can only catch glimpses of from time to time. Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom we can speak with passion without having the words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power. Community means strength that joins our strength to do the work that needs to be done. Arms to hold us when we falter. A circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace where we can be free.” -Starhawk

“Oh, my friends, if there is any one thing that we must see today is that these are revolutionary times. All over the globe men are revolting against old systems of exploitation and oppression, and out of the wounds of a frail world, new systems of justice and equality are being born. The shirtless and barefoot people of the land are rising up as never before. The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. They are saying, unconsciously, as we say in one of our freedom songs, ‘Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me around!'” ~Martin Luther King Jr.

“In this time of great change, we will rabble-rouse for our future. We will make beautiful trouble on behalf of all peoples. We will roil this continent with upheaval for justice. We will rock the foundations of our nation with coordinated nonviolent action. We will disobey with great love the systems of destruction. We will wage struggle until the legal and social structures that lead us toward disaster are changed. We will be modern-day Gandhi’s, King’s, Chavez’, and Jesus’. We will be active, engaged, and above all else, we will be kind, be connected, and be unafraid.” ~ Rivera Sun

The Worldwide Wave of Action has begun!

Josh and his 5 brothers (Joel, Jesse, Jon, Jordan, and Jared) developed Charlotte’s Web, It is a strain of medical marijuana processed into a marijuana extract. It was created for medical usage to give patients the benefits without the high. Charlotte, the first one to try it, was having 300 grand mal seizures a week…Her parents and physicians now say her seizures were reduced to two to three per month after using medical marijuana. They now have 93 families with epileptic children using marijuana daily. Hundreds are on a waiting list and thousands are calling.. They have been termed “marijuana refugees”.
