Where To Go From Here

Original Note: Some of these links are included in multiple categories. Others aren't, but should be. Some of the links may be faulty, overloaded, or poorly designed. We regret this. Also, a link's inclusion here is not meant as an endorsement by them of us or vice versa. We have attempted to include some notice of what exactly to expect. If this note is in quotes, it is most likely how they describe themselves.

New Note: Readers may notice that a lot of the links from our original links page are gone. This has nothing to do with our politics changing but rather the disappearance of many great sites. If there is a site that you feel should be here, please send it to us with a brief description.

Genuine peace is the fruit of justice.
And true peace is not the dead kind of peace,
like the tenant's surrender to the landlord.
It is a living, dynamic one which can often
be accompanied by struggle and conflict.
