To all the peaceful warriors out there joining the Worldwide March against Monsanto today and to those who boycott Monsanto and their products on a daily basis – Thank you for spreading awareness. Much love, respect, and appreciation!!
So many good reasons to oppose the Keystone pipeline. Watch a few of them in this short video that takes clips from a Keystone PR ad and intersperses clips of actual disasters caused by companies like theirs. Even Desmond Tutu is speaking out against the pipeline ~ “It is appalling that the US is debating whether to approve a massive pipeline transporting 830,000 barrels of the world’s dirtiest oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Producing and transporting this quantity of oil, via the Keystone XL pipeline, could increase Canada’s carbon emissions by over 30%. Who can stop it? Well, we can, you and I. And it is not just that we can stop it, we have a responsibility to do so.”
Thanks to Upworthy for this post.

We are expressing deep concern for our shared future and urge everyone to awaken spiritually. We must work in unity to help Mother Earth heal so that she can bring back balance and harmony for all her children.” ~Chief Arvol Looking Horse
For the next 4 days, a collection of ranchers, and first nations have set up an encampment in front of The White House. It is called CIA “Cowboy Indian Alliance” to oppose the dangerous Keystone XL pipeline that is proposed to run through their land. Together people are coming together to protect sacred land and waters. History in the making!

On this day in 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. Let’s take this moment to honor him today for his great and tireless spirit and selfless contribution to the progress of humanity. Much love and peace to you dear brother. We shall overcome!
“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.
A 75-year-old woman has stopped construction at a local park in the northwestern province of Edirne, Turkey, by sitting in front of the bulldozer. Go Grandma go!!
“When any of us meet someone who rejects dominant norms and values, we feel a little less crazy for doing the same. Any act of rebellion or non-participation, even on a very small scale, is therefore a political act.” ~ Charles Eisenstein
Check out this inspiring video from the amazing young activist Ta’Kaiya Blaney. World Water Day is this coming Saturday, March 22 and there will be a globally synchronized ceremony to honor water. You are invited to participate wherever you are!
Issues like Fukushima, drought in California and elsewhere, flooding, toxic spills like West Virginia and Deep Horizon catastrophe in the gulf, the assault of fracking chemicals in aquifers, polar ice melt and others are more than enough to demand a swift and decisive response. If politicians are unable to lead, the people will. When water is threatened, all of life is threatened.
“Please dedicate Saturday March 22 to Love Water and Join Us at 3:00 pm in your Local Time Zone as we create a wave of intention moving across the planet. The Global Synchronized Moment for the World’s Waters will be at 3:00 pm PST (wherever you are in the world).
This launches a full year of action to deepen our relationship with water and get clean water to every human on the planet. Sign up to our email list to stay updated on movements you can plug into.
Together, we are a Global Synchronized Force of Nature.
Together, the World’s Waters will become Holy again.
Together, Love prevails on this Blue Planet.”

MOSCOW — Opposition to Russia’s intervention in Ukraine sparked an unexpectedly large protest march here Saturday, as tens of thousands of demonstrators waving Ukrainian, Russian and European Union flags chanted “No war!” and “Russia without Putin.” They wore armbands and ribbons in the Ukrainian colors of blue and yellow, ribbons in Russia’s white, blue and red, and the plain white ribbons that were a hallmark of the large rallies against President Vladimir Putin that blossomed and then faltered in 2012. “This is to show Ukrainian citizens our solidarity, so they will see there is another Russia, a Russia that doesn’t want war,” said Maria Lobanova, 30, who had come to the rally with her father, husband and two sons, ages 4 and 1.
