CODEPINK SL is an International Chapter.

Check out our official status! Rae, Liaison to Local Groups, from the National Level CODEPINK received a personal tour of Second Life on Monday, June 2nd. She was shocked and awed.... sorry.... couldn't resist and totally got it. She had a link for our SL chapter put up on the local's section of the main CODEPINK site -- we are under International. We will get a page too if we want it, or... should we use this blog as our site? Hmmm. Stuff for us to consider. We need to get info out about DNC and RNC actions too. SO MUCH to do! I will put up a few pics of our SL actions on the local action site.

We are official -- as official as CODEPINK gets anyway ;-) -- WOOT!

Check out our official status! Rae, Liaison to Local Groups, from the National Level CODEPINK received a personal tour of Second Life on Monday, June 2nd. She was shocked and awed.... sorry.... couldn't resist saying this.... and she "totally" got it.



Rae had a link for our SL chapter put up on the local's section of the main CODEPINK site. We will get a page too if we want it, or... should we use this blog as our site? Hmmm. Stuff for us to consider.

We need to get info out about DNC and RNC actions too. SO MUCH to do!



The Virtual World Chapter link on the Local Chapter Page uses the SLURL so you can just click it and open the application SECOND LIFE and your avatar will materialize at the HQ on Commonwealth Island. The International groups page lists all our contact info. and links to this blog too



The great thing about our virtual world chapter is that individuals who want to participate and brainstorm can access other pinkers even if there is no local chapter in their geo-locations at the moment with which to connect. A successful SL business women who happens to be canadian woman has helped us out tremendously. Japanese women have rocked some of our actions. A man in Venus Beach models peaceful feminist behavior for his teen daughter when he dedicates his time to behind the scenes constructions of objects and events. The northwest coast of the U.S. reliably sends women to actions. The Sonoran Desert is almost always represented in SL actions and processes. Austrailia, the U.K., Finnoscandia, Germany... our little group reflects an emergent state for cooperative social peace and justice group action.

What's in a Name?

I have made an executive decision... for a while I was going to scrub this blog because of SL's attempt to claim no one can use the phrase Second Life or the dipthong SL without their consent. So in March I decided to start a different blog for us. I posted the following (via capture as a pic) to that blog, but it just didn't feel right. I'm changing our title here, but not the address/URL as that had already been listed on the CODEPINK site before SL began this campaign. CODEPINK sl is no different than CODEPINK pittsburg, or CODEPINK dc. It is simply an identification.

The title of this blog may change, but this is the url we are using for the CODEPINK c chapter in SL.
