This week's note re-surfaced some beautiful, powerful stories from the 350 movement, and offers some great wisdom as well. Saying "no" can be a very positive thing. The strategy of resistance uses a principled rejection of what is profoundly wrong to point toward a better reality.One dramatic image of eco-justice resistance has inspired people around the planet. It comes from the day of action on global warming organized by 350.org on October 24, 2009. On that day, in thousands of settings from almost every country, people gathered to witness for the health of the planet, and to call for a reduction of global CO2 to the "safe" level of 350 parts per million. From each of those gatherings, photos were submitted documenting the passion and variety of the grassroots movement.Many of those pictures were moving and informative, but one stood out above all the rest. My friend Will Bates, on the staff of 350.org, named it as his favorite photo of them all. Will wrote:On the morning of October 24, 2009, as people rallied in thousands of cities across the planet, a young woman named Ola walked alone to the center of Babylon, Iraq, took a deep breath, and unfurled a 350 banner, joining a worldwide call for climate action.Ola had worked for weeks to try and convince her friends to join her, but in Iraq, taking action on climate change is a risk few are willing to take. Ola's was one the smallest actions that day, but one of the most powerful.In tumultuous Iraq, a woman takes a solitary stand against the culture of oil that bankrolls her country. This is an act of resistance, not political activism. Ola's isolated statement wasn't about specific changes to Iraq's energy policy. It was a moral witness that the warping of Earth's climate system is wrong, and that a restoration of balance is essential.Ola stood -- alone in Babylon, and with multitudes in a global day of action -- in a witness of hope. Her act of resistance was empowering for her, and for multitudes. Because of the clarity of her resistance, 350.org chose her story of witness to be the centerpiece of a short video calling people into action in 2010. (Take a minute to read her story and see the video!)And continue reading here...http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2521/4041039076_8344deaffd.jpg
