Brandon here, wanting to encourage you to consider the following action
against slavery (child slavery, sexual slavery, child soldiers and
forced labor). You've probably already heard about it but I wanted to
add that I've been in contact with Justin and Victoria (the project
director) about their financial oversight and reporting and they have a
strong system in place and a clear commitment to transparency. Please make public when you intend to go by adding a comment at the bottom of this page.
BrandonOctober 4-5, 2008 “Aiki Kodomo Kenshukai” Teaching Aikido to Children Workshop
In 2006, the first "How to Teach Aikido to Children" seminar for
teachers was held in Virginia. The event included presentations from
ten senseis and was enthusiastically received by 40 attendees. Many
positive reports were written on many aikido websites (see our Press
Room at http://www.aikidoinn.com/index.php?page=press
for links to some of these reviews). It was suggested that the next
seminar be held on the west coast to allow other people to participate.
So this year, we will hold the Teaching Aikido to Children seminar at
Aikido of Berkeley over the weekend of October 3, 2008.
The seminar is being organized as a resource for improving the quality
and diversity of Aikido education to youths. The seminar will be taught
by international Aikido instructors and educators from a variety of
affiliations and is open to all Aikidoists. Space is limited so please
register soon. Learn new and mat-tested methods for enhancing children’s classes in
the dojo. The workshop faculty is an experienced group of eleven
Senseis, Aikidoists, and Educators from around the world who are
gathering to provide "how-to" resources and share best practices.

Subject: Never been done before
Hey Brandon,
This is Justin Dillon from the rockumentary film CALL+RESPONSE. Just a quick note to let you know that the film's new official site
is now live. This is not just about the film; it is about giving you
more ways to free the 27 million men, women, and children enslaved
around the globe. In the coming days we will launch a way for you to
help fund small dollar projects (supported by our partner
organizations) that respond to the immediate needs of victims. We are
attempting to do something that has never been done before. A
non-corporate, all-volunteer, all grassroots, all artist-led effort to
move people from awareness to action. Awareness is a 90's word. Now is
the time for action.
Action begins with making sure that every seat in every theater
is sold starting on Oct 9. Remember, this is a non-profit film -- every
dollar goes back into the cause. The best way to get involved is to a)
buy 1, 5, 10, even a whole theater of tickets, and b) join or log-in to
our growing abolitionist network at betheresponse.com and invite 5 friends to join you!
Remember, justice is what love looks like in public.
Cheers,
Justin
