CALL OBAMA

From the beginning of time we have had an obligation to protect the earth. That thinking, to us, shows that all humanity should not work against each other, but instead open a dialogue open areas where we can collaborate, to open up the paths of respect and mutual understanding between those who understand the depths of our duty to protect the Earth.

Australian performer SHANE HOWARD:

My new recording... a little act of love for the people of Syria.

A few months ago, musician, producer and engineer, Mark Stanley asked me to give him a track to work on. I’ve been so impressed with Mark’s work as a creative musical producer and engineer that I jumped at the opportunity. I had a song called 'Come Down Moses' that was resonating for me in the wake of the unfolding tragedy of Syria and I recorded a vocal and guitar track and sent it to him. 

He then went to work and built up this beautiful, complex soundscape and forwarded the track to 'The Frames' fiddle player, Colm Mac Con Iomaire and bass player Joe Doyle, who brought their musical sensitivities to the recording. Melbourne based guitarist, Robbie Melville and singer Julie Buxton further augmented what was growing into a powerful recording of the song. 

In the interim, Teresa O’Brien searched high and low for the compelling and disturbing images of the suffering inflicted upon the children of Syria, particularly the portraits of Syrian Children by Muhammed Muheisen. 

What eventuated was an act of love and generosity by all the artists involved, who donated their time for free to try to make an artistic statement of love and support for the common people of Syria. The video is hard to watch but it’s real and heart wrenching and the recording comes from a genuine desire, as artists to do something. 

You can download the song on the link below for free.

All we ask is that if you're able, please make a donation to the Save the Children - Syria Appeal via the link. It's one little thing we can do.

"Crossings - A Political Fable of the Near Future"

Sobre el Libro /About the Book

"Crossings - A Political Fable of the Near Future" imagines that a new President begins an effort to deport 11 million people from the U.S. in early 2017. What would happen in the United States? What would happen in Mexico? Through the lives of characters in both countries, we see the economic and human effects, the violence that might follow, and the deep political forces that would be unleashed.

Sobre el Libro

Crossings narra la saga imaginaria que podría desatarse a partir de la toma de posesión del nuevo presidente de los Estados Unidos en 2017, quien de inmediato inicia acciones para cumplir con su promesa de campaña de deportar a once millones de indocumentados, la mayoría mexicanos.  ¿Qué sucedería al interior de los EE.UU.?  ¿Qué sucedería en México?  A través de las vidas de personajes en ambos países, observamos los impactos económicos, los costos humanos, la violencia que esta política provocaría, y las potentes fuerzas sociales que se desatarían.

Trumps the debate

By A sometime buyer on May 4, 2016

Format: Paperback

So what if a U.S. president moved to deport all those “illegals” as Donald Trump has promised? This is clever speculative fiction about how that might play out. Its two greatest strengths: highly readable insight into how cynical many Mexicans are about how things really work on their side of the border and into why the work of the migrants is so important to both countries. For the understanding it makes so palatable, this self-described “political fable” has enduring value, regardless of what happens in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The authors are old college buddies (Occidental, in California), Gardner a professional writer, Robinson a recently retired anthropology professor in Mexico City and documentary film maker
