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.</p> <br /><br /> <p> Join us! </p><br /><br /><br />Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01780865578262277109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484624644338732551.post-27224701846014752212008-06-02T20:40:00.000-07:002008-12-10T09:37:26.446-08:00What'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.

You can get there via <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Commonwealth%204/202/94/22">this link to an SL url</a> that will connect you to a page where you can activate Second Life if you have an active account.

We will have a new and more permanent space in an as yet unbuilt non-profit tower on the island that should be appearing within a week or two. <br /><br />I made this connection via attending discussions on Avalon by EU Parliament member, Paulo Casaca. More on that soon too. Where else but in SL can ordinary folks meet with world leaders who want to hear their questions and concerns?<br /><br />Oh, yes, and for those SLers who couldn't get to CODEPINK meetings lately although you all made heroic (heroinic?) efforts..... I apologize. We have a zealous member scheduling regular meetings that aren't linked in to this network as well as we might hope and with my hard drive nose dive I couldn't even get on to give folks a heads up.<br /><br />More soon, I promise!Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01780865578262277109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484624644338732551.post-49520895489834951762008-02-12T11:19:00.000-08:002008-02-13T05:14:37.288-08:00Time, Place, etc. etc.We had a small but productive meeting last week at our regular weekly meeting. We haven't planned out our actions for the 5th Anniversary of the U.S. invasion of and war upon Iraq as yet. But -- great ideas and energies were put forward. <br /><br />Connections are what social movements are about - connecting with like minded people. Commonality and cooperation with individual responsibility for your overall life -- that is what I find most important about the energy of CODEPINK. The women, and men, I have met in Second Life are no less amazing than the women and men I have met in RL through CODEPINK. Women initiated and women led group dedicated to stopping war and getting us out of Iraq, now. We want to see CODE PINK declared rather than a code for fear such as Code Red, Code Orange, or Code Yellow. <br /><br />Over the next few weeks some "physical location" or "address" changes will be in effect. Our first and foremost location in SL has been on Commonwealth Island at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Commonwealth%20Island/171/50/22. Lag has gotten to be problematic there as has the ability of the CODEPINK membership as a whole to use it as a base. We are addressing this problem along with a few others over the next few weeks. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">For the time being we will be meeting on a platform over my land at Anhalt Hill that I refer to as Creative Pink Space.</span> The SLURL is: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Anhalt%20Hill/98/65/496. <br /><br />Tonight we will be getting down to brass tacks on how to observe the sad event of the the 5th anniversary of an ongoing war against Iraq by the U.S. And on a more joyous note, fill out our plans on how to observe International Women's Day here in SL. <br /><br />See you there!Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01780865578262277109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484624644338732551.post-90091421219961876142008-02-07T07:42:00.000-08:002008-12-10T09:37:27.253-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqdlrF7id4JP1kGidyMsSvnnLmM0dOY6dBEKrAAekVEH8qXK8Crj3g7cppcs9-sX4zNc_Abure5q5XvWV2MXdkZJc-cyNIR6rTs0_rq303gM5GrwzoSI03On0lMvZBKMkCHyjw6W6eSQ/s1600-h/lg+codepink+sl.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqdlrF7id4JP1kGidyMsSvnnLmM0dOY6dBEKrAAekVEH8qXK8Crj3g7cppcs9-sX4zNc_Abure5q5XvWV2MXdkZJc-cyNIR6rTs0_rq303gM5GrwzoSI03On0lMvZBKMkCHyjw6W6eSQ/s400/lg+codepink+sl.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164269941072007138" border="0" /></a><br />Real Life (RL from this point on) has a major learning curve to navigate to understand the Virtual World of Second Life (SL) -- SL is often described as a game, but it isn't, It is considered media by corporate entities like HBO who refused to allow the one time production and performance of a play to which they own the rights. All the things we know will be jumbled as this 21st Century progresses.<br /><br />Our hope is that you will get to know the medium and be intrigued enough to help us build the world of activist networking and expression through this virtual world.Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01780865578262277109noreply@blogger.com1
