FREE PUSSY RIOT

http://www.beats4change.org/action/pr.html

Beats4Change support the campaign to FREE PUSSY RIOT - a russian punk 
group sentenced to 2 years in prison for "hooliganism" - though they have done no physical 
harm to neither property nor person - just performing a song called "Mother of God, Cast Putin Out!"
                      in Christ the Savior Cathedral on Feb. 21

This is an attempt to frighten the youth of Russia
                      into silence by making an example of the band. It is an
                      attack on free music, free speech, free expression and
                      democratic rights.

In our hearts we know right from wrong - and there's much we see around us in our environment and the relations between people, both socially, economically and politically, where we feel: "this is not the right way for human beings to live - this is not the way we're supposed to relate to each other and our surroundings"

As long as we just wait to see where the dynamics of history leads us, we're doomed to be victims of circumstance. This dynamic is often dictated by other concerns, we learn to think in social, economical and political "realities", forcing us to put aside what our hearts tell us and subsequently we stop listening and learn to adapt to these "realities" - powers that dictate our actions and interactions. We may protest against these realities - react, but to really change anything we must create the freedom and strength to turn the tide.

When people start working together to build the lives and communities they want, then good things will happen.
