A Series of Web Updates

We’re currently engaged in the process of adding lots of new material to our Organizing Resources page, so you should be sure to check it out! In addition, we’ve made a few minor updates to the site, including:
• Added more information to the entries on the Recommended Reading page. As part of the additions to [...]

Giving the lie to its earlier claims that it was impossible to repeal the contested decrees that sparked 70 days of protests and blockades throughout the country’s Amazon region, the Peruvian government rescinded two of those laws on June 18th.

Minor Web Updates

We added some info to the Security Culture and Secure Email pages to clarify the limitations of proxy servers such as Tor.

We’ve added a new section to the “Organizing Resources” portion of our web site (under “get involved”) that we will be slowly building up over time: articles relating to infrastructure issues in general, but not to any project in particular.

Want to know when we’ve posted to the site without visiting the [...]

New Posts Now on Tuesdays

Hi, folks. We’re going to try out a new posting schedule: posting on Tuesday afternoons, rather than Sunday nights (or occasionally Monday) as we have been. So new Lowdown posts should be online by Tuesday nights. We will still be posting once per week.
If this new posting schedule does not work out and we decide [...]

Fact Sheets Are Online!

Visit our Fact Sheet page and take a look at articles on how infrastructure relates to issues including labor, migration, the environment, indigenous sovereignty, global warming, latin american solidarity, imperialism and free trade. Also includes a Root Force Strategy primer for progressives and an article on what the system is and why it should be [...]
