The Human Right to Food

Anonyme, Saturday, February 27, 2010 - 13:55 ( | | | | | )

"In June 2009 the number of starving persons surpassed a billion for the first time. This is a political failure of the world food system since all people could have adequate food. The human right to food is massively violated. To fight hunger, the question about human rights challenges, especially the right to food, should be raised..."

Canada to withdraw its funding to UNRWA

(Montreal, Jan. 21st, 2010) - Last week, the government of Canada quietly announced it would discontinue its long-standing financial contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and redirect the monies to strengthen the judicial system of the Palestinian Authority and other food assistance programs. The news came out as UNRWA launched a special fundraising campaign to collect millions of dollars needed to support programs in the occupied Palestinian territories.

UNRWA provides assistance to 4.67 million Palestinian refugees scattered throughout the Middle East and administers programs in the areas of education, health and other social services in 59 Palestinian refugee camps.

Celebrate Buy Nothing Day ! But you can still win something big

Michael Lessard, Friday, November 27, 2009 - 15:33 ( | | | | | )

I tried capitalism and I didn't like it... Can I have my money back?


Join the Wildcat Strike on Shopping!

As is our annual tradition, we are closing our webstore Friday, November 27 for Buy Nothing Day. It's the same day as Black Friday, the official kick-off of the Christmas shopping season where consumer mobs flood stores and ransack shelves in a frenzied quest for low, low prices. Hopefully this year no workers will be trampled to death in the ensuing hysteria, and we encourage everyone to give this deranged day of consumerism gone wild a miss. But if you really can't deny yourself, we love this faux website at Do The Green Thing where you can "shop your sustainable heart out and Buy Nothing™."

1st WINNER DRAWN IN THE GIVE SOMETHING BIG CONTEST!

Congratulations to our first winner who will receive The Take DVD & Fair Trade chocolate bars! The contest remains open until December 14 when we give away the grand prize. So far, we've received some great dream BIG gift ideas, and we would love to see them all come true.

Check out our blog post for all the details and the 4 ways to enter.

Once our webstore re-opens on Saturday, we will be donating ALL the profits during the holiday season to Inter Pares' Give Something Big campaign supporting global peace and justice.

We're big fans of Inter Pares who were one of the first supporters of The Corporation. For the work they do overseas, they partner with existing on-the-ground organizations that are working to promote justice in their own communities. Their support strengthens the work of local groups and encourages them in the development and implementation of their own programs. It's a refreshing, bottom-up approach that sees them collaborating with activists in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and here in Canada.

Take a breather from the shopping madness and check out their alternative holiday giving campaign at: www.GiveSomethingBig.com

Have a FABULOUS Buy Nothing Day!

CHRISTMAS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE STRESSFUL

Instead of battling through stores during the December gift rush, you can support the causes and people who are changing their societies for the better. Like Inter Pares' Give Something Big campaign where you make a donation and receive festive and customizable holiday cards. You can send animated, musical e-cards (and add your photo even), or go the traditional route with paper cards.
