Corporateering (the book) In Corporateering, Jamie Court shows how corporations
routinely and quietly rob us of our personal freedoms, including privacy, security, the right to

empowering strategies for counter-corporateering so we can reclaim our private lives, our
right to health and safety, and other personal liberties.

Gay Shame GAY SHAME is a virus in the system. We are committed to a queer
extravaganza that brings direct action to astounding levels of theatricality. We will not be
satisfied with a commercialized gay identity that denies the intrinsic links between queer
struggle and challenging power. We seek nothing less than a new queer activism that
foregrounds race, class, gender and sexuality, to counter the self-serving "values" of gay

consumerism and the increasingly hypocritical left. We are dedicated to fighting the rabid
assimilationist monster with a devastating mobilization of queer brilliance. GAY SHAME is a
celebration of resistance: ALL ARE WELCOME. Email: gayshamesf@yahoo.com

JustHealth (CCHCC) JustHealth exists because our current system denies people the
healthcare goods and services for which we already pay. It is a system in which we do not

know what we are entitled to, what we pay for, or how to get it. It is a system in which
insurance is too often a broken promise. As a result, millions of Americans are sicker, suffer
more, die sooner - and often go bankrupt in the process. As a result, the U.S. is poorer, weaker,
and less secure. JustHealth is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit corporation whose mission
is to create a just healthcare system in the U.S. and that helps people obtain healthcare from
our broken system. Address: 1275 Fourth Street, Santa Rosa CA 95404 Voice: (888) 225-

in ways more Americans can get. To succeed, we must present our ideas about peace, justice,
and a healthy, sustainable environment as part of the best American dream-- a fair, just, and
prosperous nation that does the right thing at home and abroad. That ideal still carries the
finest American values, uniting left, center, and moderates on the other side--much needed
common ground now. Moreover, we ourselves represent a basic American phenomenon--people
led by the desire for a new and better society. To this end, The Metaphor Project (MP) has
been building the capacity of cutting edge American progressive and liberal activists to "speak
American" since 1997 with online resources, coaching, workshops, and talks.

Network of Bay Area Worker Cooperatives (NoBAWC) NoBAWC (pronounced "no
boss") is a grassroots organization of democratic workplaces dedicated to building workplace
democracy in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. As the name implies, NoBAWC is
comprised primarily of worker cooperatives. A worker cooperative is an enterprise that
produces goods, distributes goods and/or provides services and is owned and controlled by its
worker-owners. Ownership of a worker cooperative is vested solely with the worker-owners on
an equal basis. Moreover, worker-owners control the resources of the cooperative and the work
process. Each worker-owner has equal decision-making power and ultimate authority rests
with the worker-owners as a whole. Worker control can be exercised directly or indirectly by
worker-owners. If exercised indirectly, members of representative decision-making bodies (e.g.
a Board of Directors) must be elected by the worker-owners and be subject to removal by the
worker-owners. Address: POBox 24953, Oakland CA 94623 Voice: (510) 835-0254

to curtail energy consumption. Web: http://www.theoildrum.com/ [24 May 2010]

Reverend Billy Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir believe that
Consumerism is overwhelming our lives. The corporations want us to have experiences only
through their products. Our neighborhoods, "commons" places like stoops and parks and
streets and libraries, are disappearing into the corporatized world of big boxes and chain
stores. But if we "back away from the product" - even a little bit, well then we Put The Odd
Back In God! The supermodels fly away and we're left with our original sensuality. So we are
singing and preaching for local economies and real - not mediated through products --
experience. We like independent shops where you know the person behind the counter or at
least - you like them enough to share a story. Web: http://www.revbilly.com/ [29 Oct 2007]

Spiral Gardens Community Food Security Project Mission is to create healthy
sustainable communities by promoting a strong local food system and encouraging productive
use of urban soil. Our core programs are based at our Urban Garden Center, located at the
corner of Sacramento and Oregon Streets in Southwest Berkeley, on two blocks of public land
at the end of a long-vacant former railroad right of way. These programs include our Nursery,
Produce Stand, Community Farm, Outdoor Community Classroom, and Community Harvest
Project. In addition to the community farm, we have one other community garden located on
59th Street in North Oakland. We also conduct outreach, education, and plant sales
throughout the local community and at local and regional events, including a consistent
presence at the Saturday Berkeley Farmers’ Market from March through October.

Stand Against Sit / Lie We stand with working people, immigrants, queer people, and
poor people in opposing a proposal for a San Francisco law that would criminalize sitting or
lying on public sidewalks. Homeless people in our community are members of our community,
and a law in any form that would criminalize them is morally reprehensible and contrary to
the spirit of sanctuary in San Francisco. Such a law, though designed to target homeless
people, could — and we believe will — very easily be used against other valued members of
our communities, such as day laborers and youth in low-income neighborhoods. The
implications for free speech and shared public space are a threat for all members of our
community. Email: info@StandAgainstSitLie.org

StopAnimalID.org Agenda is to stop the National Animal Identification System (NAIS).

NAIS is a national program to identify and track livestock animals, including poultry, horses,
cattle, goats and sheep for the purpose of disease containment. NAIS plans to use RFID and
GPS technology to track animals, and requires every farm or “premises” be registered with
government agencies, even if that premises houses a single animal. While NAIS’s purported
goal of disease containment appears to be beneficial, the requirement for American citizens to
register privately-owned property for tracking and monitoring purposes has very serious
implications for our privacy, rights and freedoms. Web: http://www.stopanimalid.org

Weaver Professional Events Historically, special events have been wasteful and harmful
to the environment. Because issues like global warming & rising fuel prices affect all of us,

companies, Weaver Professional Events promotes the use of low and no emission
transportation, organic and locally grown fare, fair-trade coffees, biodegradable supplies and
cleaners, composting and/ or the donating of excess food, recycling all glass, plastic, and paper,

the economy, the role of violence in society, and democracy itself. Rather than enhancing our
"national" security, nuclear weapons threaten our fundamental human security. WSLF seeks
to abolish nuclear weapons, compel open public environmental review of nuclear technologies,
and ensure appropriate management of nuclear waste. Grounded in nonviolence and rooted in
both international and environmental law, the principle guiding WSLF's activities is
democratization of decision making affecting nuclear weapons and related technologies.

a ritual activity that is performed across the U.S., and known around the world. It is a ritual
during which a group gathers and silently pushes empty carts through the aisles of a
superstore. Whirl-Mart utilizes tactics of occupation and reclamation of private consumerdominated

Wild Wilderness When you venture in to the wilderness, do you seek nature and solitude
or ticket lines and two-stroke engines? If recreation industry heavyweights have their way,
your next walk in the woods will start at a toll booth and end in a gift shop with canned
entertainment along the way. Why? Because cash-strapped federal land managers have
turned to corporate America to fill gaping budget holes. So the public must now pay private
concessionaires to take a walk on public lands. Tent campsites are being paved over to build
more lucrative RV parks. And hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands are being
auctioned off. As a user group that appreciates the value of wildness, Wild Wilderness opposes
these efforts to commercialize our National Heritage by privatizing public lands. We are
