Search results are ranked: the better matches are closer to the top.
You can type in any range of words or sentences you want to look for.
There are 3 ways to enhance your search:
- You can add a '+' sign between words if you want the search to be for both words only when they are found together. (If you don't add a '+' sign, the search will include results for either word found alone.) Using the '+' sign will give you fewer results. For example, searching for 'harvey+jackins' will give you fewer results than 'harvey jackins.'
- If you are somewhat familiar with programming you can use '&' or '+' for AND and '|' or 'space' for OR.
- If you are more familiar with more complicated programming: you can use '(' and ')'. You can use these in combination with each other.

People are frustrated and sometimes turn to destructive outlets out of their frustration, but in reality they are everywhere anxious to take constructive actions. Lack of leadership and lack of policy are the crucial problems—the lack of leadership with a correct policy.

Some members of the working classes have always been rewarded, bribed, educated, conditioned, or enforced to play the role of the agents of the owning class in carrying out the functions involving management, culture, education, religion, and military leadership.

Actually, what you keep re-stating in your letter is based on the fact that anything in the past cannot be changed, that is, that if complete re-emergence were possible it would already have happened in the past, and this is not true. The past is completely determined, but the moment of present time divides it from the future sharply and clearly.

Creating a “Culture of Caring”, Bo-Young Lim. It’s hopeful and liberating (both for ourselves and for those around us) when we can be openly loving, zestful, and connected, and act with integrity and courage, from a solid grounded core within. It’s when we show ourselves and show how much we care in an authentic way that people are reminded of what’s possible. It’s what everyone wants to do but dares not to. When someone dares, people are moved.

Care of the Environment, by Wytske Visser. The destructive, irrational functioning of our society is damaging to everyone. As Co-Counselors we can discharge on racism, genocide, classism, and all the oppressions as we decide to care for the environment.

Climate change in South, Central, and West Asia is happening in the context of an already prolonged crisis that is due largely to the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, the Palestinian territories, and Lebanon. They have ruined agricultural lands, contaminated soil, increased desertification, polluted water, destroyed wildlife habitat, and, of course, caused millions of civilian deaths as well as mass migrations.

Climate Change Draft Program for the RC Communities (short version), A vast accumulation of data clearly indicates that, to avoid catastrophic consequences, we must act quickly to stop global temperatures from rising more than 1.5°C by 2030. ...we will need a coordinated global effort to reduce inequities and create a rational economy—one that allows everyone to have a good life while living lightly on the Earth.

Bringing Our Strengths as RCers to the Movement to Stop Climate Change by Diane Shisk. One of the things Harvey Jackins said that has always been important to me is that RC gives everyone the chance to have a meaningful life. All of us can use our tools to make profound changes in the lives of many individuals and, if we stretch, in our society. And now the advent of global climate change gives us an even bigger chance to make a significant impact.

Community Building in Northern Uganda by Alfred Oryem. I wish I could turn back the clock and write this report with the same enthusiasm I felt at the workshop, but I can’t. Our joyous moments were quickly turned into mourning a day after the workshop by the brutal murder of one of our members, John Brown Odongkara, the brother of Naume Atunu, the Alternate Area Reference Person for Gulu, Uganda. Even so, I must write a report on the young adults’ and leaders’ workshop, led by Wanjiku Kironyo, in Gulu.

“Normal” Patterns and RC Leaders, by Janet Foner. As we fully reclaim the discharge process, we go up against the irrational system/society. Being inundated with “mental health” oppression (MHO) is necessary for the system if it is to hold itself together. Society has to shut down discharge and make it seem bad and unthinkable.

Being and Ally, by Harvey Jackins. For any group to progress in its liberation from oppression it is necessary that it (1) formulate a correct, workable program of liberation, (2) unite its members around that program, and (3) win allies for the group’s liberation among individuals and organizations who are outside the group itself.

The Need for Policy, by Joan Karp. Much of our theory and policy goes against the many patterned assumptions of the various societies, cultures, and sub-cultures. It often takes time, study, discharge, and re-evaluation to expose the full extent of these patterned assumptions. However, fully understanding and participating in RC depends on it.

The enforced holding back of discharge, the terror installed by the oppression, and the pressure to be “normal” make it hard to think about the big changes that need to be made.
