A wonderful mini-op-ed from Diane Mahefsky Poland about our mission here and why we need to get out of the habit of believing what we are told and letting the gatekeepers tell us to trust their version of outcomes: Thats why educating activists is critical. Without KNOWING your rights anything can happen. What you choose to do with the info is yours to decide. And with that choice comes responsibility. We have never really lived in a transparent world. The Internet opened doors and windows that no one could have anticipated. Those of us that have been doing this pre-Internet had huge hurdles to overcome. We relied on boots on the ground reports and massive networking. But the PR misinformation firms grew in massive numbers. The corporate paid think tanks were born in the early 80s. Now - I see a lot of people struggling to accept truth after years of being told what to think.
