Practicing Mindfulness

To me, practicing mindfulness in the act of consuming is the basic act of social justice.

Interview by Catherine Ingram, In the Footsteps of Ghandi.

Ask David Miliband a question?

Dear friends,

After 10 years under Tony Blair, Britain has a new government — and its new Foreign Secretary,David Miliband, promises to “listen as well as lead”. This could be a new beginning for British foreign policy — and the UK has a huge effect on the global issues we care about, climate change, global poverty, Iraq, Israel-Palestine and more.

Remarkably, impressed by our momentum, Miliband has asked Avaaz to co-host his first major speech this Thursday — and agreed to take questions and comments from all of us as Avaaz members. He promises “A New Diplomacy”, and wants to get off on the right foot by engaging with our community - and global public opinion. Do you have a question for the new British foreign affairs chief? A statement, piece of advice, warning or encouragement? We’ll put members’ questions to him after his speech, and compile your words of advice into a book that he will keep in his office and consult when looking for the views of people around the world. Click below now to contribute a question or comment:

STOP THE TRAFFIK! People shouldn’t be bought or sold

2007 marks the 200th year since the long campaign to end slavery in the British Empire resulted in their government passing the Abolition of the Slave Trade bill. The story of the campaign to end legal trading of people in Britain is the subject of the new film Amazing Grace.

Come and see the film with JustAct on Thursday 26th July, 6:30pm, Westgarth Cinema. More information in invitation attached.

Disturbingly a similar slave trade across the world is operating today. HUMAN BEINGS right now are being bought and sold throughout the world. This trade in people is the fastest growing way people are caught in slavery.

2.4 million people are enslaved as a result of human trafficking. 1.2 million children are trafficked each year.

People are trafficked into prostitution, begging, forced labour, military service, domestic service, forced illegal adoption, forced marriage and so on. This trade turns people into goods that are sold for as little as $30!

People are not commodities.
They should not be bought and sold.
This trade in human beings must STOP.

See attached invitation to to see Amazing Grace the film and come and learn more about Stop the Traffik, a campaign to end the modern day trade in PEOPLE.

Joy of living

We have all known persons who have lost everything and have not lost the joy of living; persons who are imprisoned unjustly and do not lose their peace and tranquility; persons who live in misery and take in orphans; persons who have suffered injustices and seek to reestablish justice with no desire to revenge.

ACOSS Action - Indigenous

Dear Action Network Member

Please send a message to your local Member of Parliament on effective and proven action to stop Aboriginal child abuse and disadvantage.

The Combined Aboriginal Organisations of the NT (CAO), representing over 40 Aboriginal organisations, encourage Australians to support them by sending a message to their Members of Parliament. The CAO released a paper on proven and effective responses to tackle child abuse and disadvantage on July 10.

When Parliament considers legislation to protect children in the Northern Territory please ask them to consult with Aboriginal communities and develop plans for working with them. You can ask your MP to support the expansion of programs that have already been proven to work, and ensure that the hard fought land rights of Indigenous people remain in place.

Please click through to send a message to your MP. Visit http://www.acoss.org.au/Action.aspx

Kind Regards

The ACOSS Action Network Team

Independence Day Quote

But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
