A Vision of Social Responsibility: The Global Village School
By Tanya Barber. HopeDance, March/April 2003
“Students learn about cultures, histories, and social climates in their Peace and Diversity coursework. For example, our Peacemakers course presents role models who enact non-violent social change and concrete examples of successful non-violent movements. GVS scholars consider questions like: What enables peacemakers to look at painful truths without giving in to a sense of hopelessness? What sustained Martin Luther King? How did Mandela emerge after 27 years of imprisonment to speak of reconciliation rather than hate?“

Depleted Uranium:America's Silent Weapon of Mass Destruction
By Sally Carless. Common Dreams, July 13, 2004
"American troops are coming home poisoned -- not by Saddam -- but by their own government's weapons of mass and indiscriminate destruction. The first reports from soldiers returning from Iraq have come in, and they are testing positive for depleted uranium (DU) in their systems. And these are not just random soldiers many are police officers and fire fighters from New York who serve in the NY Army National Guard. These are the very symbols of what this war was supposedly about."
Is This What "Supporting Our Troops" Really Looks Like?
By Sally Carless. HopeDance, May/June 2004
"What does supporting the troops really mean? When the US government attacked Iraq, many assumed that supporting the troops meant supporting the war -- that to speak against the drive to war was to speak against the troops risking their lives overseas. The notion that the American government takes care of its soldiers’ health and needs is a myth. They are exposed to severe health hazards without being informed, they are poorly paid and equipped, they have been misled about the reasons for going to war, and they often receive substandard care when they return from their service."
Wisdom and Action
By Sally Carless. HopeDance, Jan/Feb 2004
"How can we maintain our equilibrium in a world seemingly gone mad? How do we resist giving in to despair, helplessness, and rage in the face of disturbing statistics about nuclear waste or the latest detailing of the imperial ambitions of our government? How do we keep 'sustaining the gaze,' when it all seems too much for one person to bear? How can we spare the time necessary for inner growth when there is so much other work to be done? And how can we afford not to?"
