Follow The Money

Now retired in Hawaii in between tennis, golf, hiking, swimming etc. I revisited that notion. 1% of the people own 99% of the wealth, what does that really mean? Online I found that there is a family that is worth 500 Trillion Dollars. The Rothschild family is one of the wealthiest families on the planet. Of course there are others, Americans. How did they get their mone… Continue

Involve the People

When "We the People" speak and don't take no for an answer, things change. Why? Because, "We the People" is a force to be respected and in some cases feared. Whether the call is "No taxation - without representation, or the French eating cake with Marie, "We the people" of any country or community is the key to peace.

Who benefits from religion

Inquiring minds want to know, who really benefits from religion. We all know that having a relationship with God is a personal matter. Even what we call God and how we view God is purely for our benefit. The Catholic church is worth over a trillion dollars and still passes the plate worldwide every Sunday making more tax free money.

About

Gathering For Justice created this Ning Network.

The Gathering’s Mission

The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.

Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.
