DESCRIPTION:Another world is not only possible but absolutely necessary. People have 
 power but can exercise it most effectively when it is organized and 
 collective. It's relatively easy for the state and big business to pick off 
 and neutralize freelancers and lone operatives. It's when a movement forms 
 that the state and the corporations can be challenged. Citizens in 
 privileged societies like the US often complain that they feel helpless and 
 can't do anything to shake the power structure. It's an odd complaint given 
 the advantages most Americans have and poses a sharp contrast with other 
 countries. With few resources, citizens in impoverished East Timor, 
 Nicaragua, Haiti and India have risen and resisted oppression and 
 overthrown tyrannies. Latin America today in particular demonstrates the 
 power of people to imagine and create alternatives. But in the land of the 
 free? "Well, I'm kind of busy. Any beer in the fridge? What's on TV 
 tonight?" The tonic for apathy? Get involved. Get active. Seize the time!  
 David Barsamian is the founder and director of Alternative Radio, who have

 conversations with Noam Chomsky, and "Speaking of Empire and Resistance" 
 with Tariq Ali.  Co-Sponsored by Media Alliance 
 (http://www.media-alliance.org) and New College Media Studies MA Program.
