RiniArt.org For 20 years, Rini Templeton made drawings of activists in the United States,
Mexico and Central America while she joined them in their meetings, demonstrations, picket
lines and other actions for social justice. She called her bold black-and-white images "xerox
art" because activists and organizers could copy them easily for use in their banners, signs,
leaflets, newsletters, even T-shirts, whenever needed. Web: http://www.riniart.org/

Rising Tide Bay Area Fosters a certain creative potential, an unrestricted venue for
making truly radical change. An international network born out of the conviction that
corporate-friendly and state-sponsored “solutions” to climate change will not save us. As a
matter of survival, we must decrease our dependence on the industries and institutions that
are destroying the planet and work toward community autonomy and sustainable living.
