BUZZFLASH REVIEWS

"The cover image from Michalis Sourlis expresses the outrage, sorrow and determination of millions of people to stop the obscene Iraq war and to reclaim justice, equality and democracy as core American values. Other themes include: Congress-woman Shirley Chisholm — unbought and unbossed; How to Fight Global Warming; massive and powerful marches for immigrants’ rights; hurricane Katrina grassroots recovery efforts; a life and sign-filled image of gay marriage in San Francisco; a peace symbol sculpture from Burning Man, the annual tribute to creativity and self-reliance; two glowing South African children receiving baby goats from Heifer International; The Sacred Run 2006, a cross-USA run organized by Native Americans to honor Mother Earth; Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History. Twelve months of inspiration, education and solidarity. The tradition continues."

The creators of this popular yearly calendar for activists are the Syacuse Cultural Workers:

"SYRACUSE CULTURAL WORKERS (SCW) is an educational and cultural organization founded in 1982. Our mission is to help sustain a culture that honors diversity and celebrates community; that inspires and nurtures justice, equality and freedom; that respects our fragile Earth and all its beings; that encourages and supports all forms of creative expression.

We see cultural work as an essential part of and support for political and economic change. Many of our materials celebrate movements for social change and their leaders, thus helping to legitimize history that is largely ignored or trivialized by commercial media and school textbooks. SCW also helps to unite socially concerned artists with a growing audience hungry for meaningful artwork."

Last year, the 2006 calendar was one of BuzzFlash's hottest premium selections.

We expect it will be for the 2007 edition, once again.
