Join us for a presentation and discussion at Common Root on Friday, May 10th at 7:30 PM.

Any project to implement a new world system should meet several criteria:

• Be conceivable and realistic with existing
technology.
• Address real problems without creating
more or greater problems.
• Provide a clear way for getting from “here”
to “there.”
• Must be a system consistent with normal
human desires and responses.
• Achieve a tipping point with the active
participation of less than 15% of the population.

Join us for a co-presentation and discussion of how civilitics fills all the above requirements and what sort of new world is possible.

Learn about civilitics and what an “ivi” civilization looks like. Learn how it is possible to mutually satisfy ultra-conservative and ultra-liberal agendas while achieving a better world for everyone.

What happens when a thousand; a million; a billion people stop working to make a living and start working to make a difference?

Be part of the global transformation.

Writers, poets, crafty folks and anyone interested; please consider contributing to our collective publishing project! Contributors will create stand-alone sections of their writing that also fit into the larger anthology of collected contributions.

Each contributor is asked to create 10, double-sided 8.5” x 11” pages of content for the book. You can include your poetry, prose, articles, photography, artwork, design, recipes, DIY pieces, and more. We’re planning to have three themes – Occupy, Creativity and Child-Friendly Collections.

Stop by our meeting tonight at 7:30 PM to learn more, ask questions or submit your pages!

The march/rally starts at 1 PM on the north steps of the state capitol.

The potluck starts at 6 PM at Common Root Mutual Aid Center.

Bring drinks or a dish to share, pick up a zine featuring the article “Working Class Unity – Wage Slavery is NOT For Me” and discuss workers rights and your experiences.

What is “money”? How does money define our society? What is an economy? What is an non-monetary economy like? What are alternative methods of resource management and distribution? How can we better meet the needs of everyone by shifting social priorities?

Bring a dish or drinks to share with us at our Collective Networking Potluck and share your questions and ideas as well. The potluck will be held from 6-9 PM on Saturday, April 6th at Common Root Mutual Aid Center (1315 S. 24th in Lincoln).

Writers, poets, crafty folks and anyone interested; please consider contributing to our collective publishing project!

Contributors will create stand-alone sections of their writing that also fit into the larger anthology of collected contributions.

Each contributor is asked to create 10, double-sided 8.5” x 11” pages of content for the book. You can include your poetry, prose, articles, photography, artwork, design, recipes, DIY pieces, and more. Whatever interests you -  consider contributing it. It can be all one subject, or a collection or contributions filling your pages.

The pages will be folded in half, to 8.5” x 5.5” and read like a booklet, or zine. The contributions can be stand-alone publications, by simply stapling the pages together, or sections can be grouped into a collective publication and bound.

We ask that everyone submitting pages contribute $20 for printing costs. This will entitle you to 5 copies of everyone’s work, and the supplies to create 5 collective books of your own. We’ll be holding more meetings in the future, as well as book-binding skillshares to help you finish your own copies.

If you would like to donate money to this project, we will use it to make additional prints and help anyone that can’t afford to pay for prints.

Send your digital contributions to: contact@commonroot.net by May 15th, 2013. If you’re submitting a hardcopy of your pages, email us at the above address to coordinate dropping off your submission or join us at an upcoming meeting. We’ll include events on our monthly Common Root calendar: http://commonroot.net/#
