JustHealth (CCHCC) JustHealth exists because our current system denies people the healthcare goods and services for which we already pay. It is a system in which we do not know what we are entitled to, what we pay for, or how to get it. It is a system in which insurance is too often a broken promise. As a result, millions of Americans are sicker, suffer more, die sooner - and often go bankrupt in the process. As a result, the U.S. is poorer, weaker, and less secure. JustHealth is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit corporation whose mission is to create a just healthcare system in the U.S. and that helps people obtain healthcare from our broken system.

The Metaphor Project Our particular mission is helping progressive activists learn how to frame their messages to better reach the mainstream American public and their political representatives. We do this by teaching people how to “speak American.” That means we show people how to use the colorful metaphors, images, catch phrases, and memes that are an ongoing part of our national political dialogue. Adapting phrases like “play by the rules,” or other “American” frames for use in our own messages is a natural way to evoke the best values we all share. American phrases like these tell a familiar story about our ideal identity as Americans, one that everyone understands. Because we only use them to evoke our own ideals, progressives can “speak American” with complete integrity.

Progressive Science Institute The philosophy of PSI is based upon the universal mechanism of evolution, “univironmental determinism” (UD), which states that whatever happens to a portion of the universe is determined by the infinite matter in motion within and without.

Dissident physicists have recognized UD and its sponsorship of Infinite Universe Theory as the proper approach to confront the reactionary aspects of modern physics involving, immaterial “particles,” matterless motion, 4-dimensional space-time, and a finite universe that explodes out of nothing.

Stand Against Sit / Lie We stand with working people, immigrants, queer people, and poor people in opposing a proposal for a San Francisco law that would criminalize sitting or lying on public sidewalks. Homeless people in our community are members of our community, and a law in any form that would criminalize them is morally reprehensible and contrary to the spirit of sanctuary in San Francisco. Such a law, though designed to target homeless people, could — and we believe will — very easily be used against other valued members of our communities, such as day laborers and youth in low-income neighborhoods. The implications for free speech and shared public space are a threat for all members of our community. Email: info@StandAgainstSitLie.org Web: http://www.standagainstsitlie.org/ [08 Apr 2010]

StopAnimalID.org Agenda is to stop the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). NAIS is a national program to identify and track livestock animals, including poultry, horses, cattle, goats and sheep for the purpose of disease containment. NAIS plans to use RFID and GPS technology to track animals, and requires every farm or “premises” be registered with government agencies, even if that premises houses a single animal. While NAIS’s purported goal of disease containment appears to be beneficial, the requirement for American citizens to register privately-owned property for tracking and monitoring purposes has very serious implications for our privacy, rights and freedoms.

What began as a single happening in Troy, NY has over the course of a year evolved into a ritual activity that is performed across the U.S., and known around the world. It is a ritual during which a group gathers and silently pushes empty carts through the aisles of a superstore. Whirl-Mart utilizes tactics of occupation and reclamation of private consumer-dominated space for the purpose of creating a symbolic spectacle.

Wild Wilderness When you venture in to the wilderness, do you seek nature and solitude or ticket lines and two-stroke engines? If recreation industry heavyweights have their way, your next walk in the woods will start at a toll booth and end in a gift shop with canned entertainment along the way. Why? Because cash-strapped federal land managers have turned to corporate America to fill gaping budget holes. So the public must now pay private concessionaires to take a walk on public lands. Tent campsites are being paved over to build more lucrative RV parks. And hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands are being auctioned off. As a user group that appreciates the value of wildness, Wild Wilderness opposes these efforts to commercialize our National Heritage by privatizing public lands. We are hunters, backcountry skiers, hikers, anglers, mountaineers and birdwatchers who want to enjoy nature, au naturel. Web: http://www.wildwilderness.org [21 Mar 2010]

World Can't Wait Organizes people living in this country to repudiate and stop the fascist way the Bush Regime set out to remake the U.S., including the murderous, unjust and illegitimate occupations of Iraq & Afghanistan, the global "war of terror" of torture, rendition and spying, and the culture of bigotry, intolerance and greed. This direction cannot and will not be reversed by presidents who tell us to seek common ground with fascists, religious fanatics, and empire, but only by the people building a community of resistance, an independent, mass movement of people acting in the interests of humanity to stop, and demand prosecution of, these crimes.
