Check out this excellent website and video/animation. I think you will all find it very useful and insightful for the work we do.

This GREAT 20 minute video/animation is about the production cycle of all the stuff we consume. The presenter packs a lot of useful information into the video, the most important being the CAUSE of this twisted cycle - corporations controlling governments instead of the people controlling governments. Notice that the overarching graphic throughout the entire animation is little government holding the hand of big fat corporations. This is of course where we come in! We are fighting to put people back into their rightful place as the deciders and play-makers in a democracy. In so doing, we can address all the problems that occur throughout the entire production cycle.

Anyway, this would be a great video to share with your members and screen for others on your campus since you can EASILY tie it into the work we are doing to solve the underlying/overarching problem of big money in politics.

Let me know what you think...I really enjoyed it!
