It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
 | Pax.Protest.Net Tanks, Head to Indymedia for Activist Information |
Time was that the website at pax.protest.net contained a pretty vibrant calendar of progressive political actions. Now it’s nearly devoid of activist events and deluged with mocking right-wing spam about sex acts, white supremacy and cults of the Homeland.
Fortunately, Indymedia is still chock full of information about local, national and international protest, both informing visitors of planned actions and reporting on past actions that the mainstream media have probably ignored. Indymedia thrives on the energy of local participants generating local news at local sites (from Atlanta to Worcester) which is aggregated at the national, then the global level.

Radicalendar is also not really thriving - though it doesn’t have spam, it does have an awful lot of reoccurring events (stand on the street corner every Wednesday protests), as does UnitedForPeace.
