Save Harry!
"In November 2001, "Harry Potter" fans around the world will be flocking to see the "Harry Potter" movie. That's great. What isn't great is that COCA COLA probably the world's biggest marketer of junk food, paid Warner Brothers (owned by AOL/Time Warner, the world's biggest media conglomerate) an estimated $150 million for the global marketing rights to that movie, with author JK Rowling getting $15 million of that. The "Harry Potter" craze is being turned by Muggle moguls into a SALES VEHICLE for liquid candy!!! "Harry Potter" fans all over the world are trying to kill the deal and SAVE HARRY!!!"

Save Roe!
Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court case guaranteeing a woman's right to choose, is in grave danger. Influential anti-choice forces are already working to fill the next vacancy on the court with a like- minded justice. We MUST act now to save Roe.

Saving Civilization
"...an attempt to save civilization from the fuckheads..."

Schizoid
Musical paranoia at it's best - Schizoid screams his way through the tangled layers of digital hardcore noise punk techno metal chaos that is "SCHIZOID".  

Science Sucks
"... We are trapped in a system which was designed to own and control knowledge, to commodify information, and to stifle the search for truth. Corporate interests, government regulations, academic conservatism, and religious fundamentalism, are the enemies of those who are committed to knowledge. We need a grassroots movement initiated by concerned truthseekers who understand that knowledge must be liberated from vested interests if humanity and our home, planet Earth, are to survive."

Sea of Blood
I like what this guy has to say about a lot of shit, including the 'punk' topic...

your own philosophy of the world and how it works..."

SHELL-shocked
Shell has been operating in the Niger Delta since 1958. In its thirty-six years of operations, rather than setting standards and promoting a positive relationship with local people, as well as sound environmental and social policies, the company seemingly has done little.The importance of Nigeria's oil to Shell cannot be underestimated, accounting for almost 14% of the company's production which equates to the greatest production outside the USA10. Therefore, both Shell and the Nigerian government have an interest in maintaining the status quo and continuing with business as usual. For those in power, the Ogoni's campaign to protect their environment cannot gain momentum or international acclaim because it raises uncomfortable questions about the rights of communities to control their local environment and the rights of multinational oil companies. So with brute force and systematic violence, the Ogoni are being silenced.

Silicon Valley Toxic Coalition
"... is a diverse grassroots coalition that for almost twenty years has engaged in research, advocacy, and organizing associated with environmental and human health problems caused by the rapid growth of the high-tech electronics industry.

Social Justice
"...Those who fall behind in the winner take all markets of global competition not only suffer from poverty and poor health, but also lose access to health care and other essential health-producing services.

Starbucked
"It was 1995 when Jeremy Dorosin of Pinole ended up with two faulty espresso machines from Starbucks, topped off by what he claims was really lousy customer service in dealing with the problem. Since then, he has used his own money to purchase full-page anti-Starbucks ads in publications such as the Wall Street Journal. He’s been all over every newspaper and done countless radio and TV interviews about the incident, amassing a huge public campaign against—not only Starbucks—but corporate conglomerates and bad customer service everywhere."

Stay Free
Informing the online community of practices of corporations' manipulation of the public.

Stop the ACA!
The ACA is a group that bills itself as "the oldest supplier of correctional goods and services in the United States." It serves as an umbrella group for all organizations doing business in, around and with prisons. From the corporations that contract prison labor and pay prisoners as little as 19 cents an hour, to the prison HMOs often sued for medical neglect, to lobbying groups advocating for longer sentences, to the Department of Corrections officials involved at all levels of the prison system, to the companies who provide the poison and needle for executions, all willing participants in the industry will be represented at the ACA's annual congress this August in Philadelphia.

Stop Carnivore!
"Carnivore/DCS1000 is an electronic "wiretapping" tool, currently in use by the FBI. Details of how the system works are short on specifics. ...the system, a sophisticated combination of hardware and proprietary software, can perform fine-tuned searches, it is also capable of broad sweeps, potentially enabling the agency to keep tabs on all of the network's communications."

Stop Dr. Laura
This cunt uses her national public forum on radio and television to spread messages of hate towards gay people!  Help the cause to help END her show!

Stop E$$O!
"President Bush has ditched the only international treaty to stop global warming. As far as Bush is concerned, US corporations have the right to pollute the entire planet. People and the environment don't matter. So who's paying Bush? One corporation stands out from the rest. Esso (known as ExxonMobil in the States) donated more dollars to get Bush into the White House than any other oil company. Esso don't want clean energy from wind, wave and solar power to replace oil, coal and gas. Fuelling America's oil addiction means big profits for Esso. Esso and Bush think they can get away with polluting our world. They think they are too big for the rest of us to stop them. They're wrong. Esso choose to wreck the climate. You can choose not to buy Esso's products. Boycott Esso now."

Stop Exxon Mobil
"ExxonMobil is a corporation out of control. People all over the world are uniting to take action against its increasingly severe corporate abuses. The second largest corporation in the world, ExxonMobil has intentionally sabotaged action on the greatest environmental issue of our age, global warming. ExxonMobil's relentless pursuit of new oil is resulting in the ecological devastation of the world's last remaining wild places."

Stop (The) FCC
"...Online campaign dedicated to the mission of eliminating the Wall being built between Israel and Palestinian territories. Israel is doing this in order to keep out suicide bombers, however Palestinian people feel it has many negative ramifications on their people.

Stop John Bolton
"...A few weeks ago, when John Bolton was nominated for UN Ambassador, nobody thought that there would be a fight. Now we're on the brink of defeating his nomination because of public outcry supporting a stronger, better United Nations. "Don't nix it, fix it!" you said, and the Senate is listening. Congress is talking about the nomination now! LET'S KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!"

Stop Star Wars!
What is Star Wars? NMD has been called 'Star Wars` because of its similarity to the failed proposal pushed by former US President Ronald Reagan. Both systems use radar and satellites to detect enemy missiles as they are fired, and US-based missiles or lasers in space to destroy them before they reach their targets. Two out of three NMD tests, conducted under ideal conditions, have been dismal failures.  Known as the National Missile Defence (NMD), this new system will cost at least $60 billion. Not only would US taxpayers' money be wasted, it would also cost the people of the world the hard-won progress already made on nuclear arms control and disarmament. "We're against having a cure that is worse than the disease." - Russian President Vladimir Putin on NMD, June 4, 00.

Stop (The) Wall
"...Online campaign dedicated to the mission of eliminating the Wall being built between Israel and Palestinian territories. Israel is doing this in order to keep out suicide bombers, however Palestinian people feel it has many negative ramifications on their people. The Campaign call is to:

d) Compensate for all losses."

We believe that workers should be earning a living wage in a safe and decent working environment, and that those who benefit the most from the exploitation of sweatshop workers must be held accountable."

Take Back The Media

Toronto Video Activist Collective
"...Everyone knows the media sucks. With ownership concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, and with the class war escalating daily, the bias and myopia of "the news" grows clearer and clearer. Independent print and radio outlets have been working to counteract these conditions for years. Now it's time for activists and video artists to join forces and go for the BIG ONE: to reoccupy TV screens everywhere, the dominant media of our time."

Trade Justice Movement
"...a fast growing group of organizations including trade unions, aid agencies, environment and human rights campaigns, fair-trade organizations, faith and consumer groups.

Unabomber Manifesto
"...The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life- expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world..."

"..to advocate against the widespread acceptance of the story of Jesus Christ as written in the Holy Bible; to advocate prescinding the infiltration of Biblical conscience into law and the courts; to reveal and expose the absurdity of the supernatural claims of the scriptures of the Holy Bible; to prevent the loss of human energy being wasted through religious practice resulting from the interpretation of the text of the Holy Bible; to prevent further justification of actions causing death and destruction from those in power of whom abuse the widespread acceptance of the Holy Bible as truth..."

Unhappy Cows
"According to ads for the California Milk Advisory Board, "Great Cheese comes from Happy Cows. Happy Cows come from California."

Voxfux Magazine
"...writings contained herein were born in a state of emergency, when the forces of darkness behind the New World Order seized total control of the mechanisms of state of the USA and diverted the resources of this once great nation towards the rape and destruction of the world. They must be stopped. Any way possible. But our little site is a mere drop in the bucket when compared to the mass brainwashing of the US population by the CIA controlled scum in the major media. The amount of destruction by CNN alone on the human mind is devastating. We must amplify our message of truth and fight the big lie."

We search for an answer
to the violence in our society not in the building of more prisons, but in programs that bring help to those in need. The government centers its spending priorities on missiles and bombs despite the unmet needs of millions of desperate people."

What's Up Chuck?
"...breaking taboos and pissing people off for the sheer pleasure of watching their reaction in that moment when their very ideals are questioned.

Why War?
"...A despicable act of mayhem such as those committed in New York and Washington is a measure of the revulsion that others feel at our actions that seemingly limit those rights [to self-determination].  If we perpetuate a cycle of hate and revenge, this conflict will escalate into a war that our great-grandchildren will be fighting."

Activists can pass resolutions in their communities and institutions committing them not to buy World Bank bonds in the future and send a strong message to the Bank. We aim to make the World Bank the target of a worldwide movement in the same way that the anti-apartheid movement brought about divestment from corporations doing business in South Africa inthe `80's."
