Marine Recruiting Station: Voices from Berkeley
I wanted to find out for myself what was going on at the recruiting station, so I went to Berkeley...I was surprised to find high school students protesting the recruitment on the steps of UC Berkeley campus! I have never seen such young activists!
I was able to interview some bystanders, protestors, and a Berkeley Police Sargeant about their views that day. I find that reporting on these events has made me a better listener...a skill that probably the whole world could use a little more of!
I hope that by sharing these interviews, others may have a little more insight to the thinking process behind the actions happening at Berkeley. I wanted to find out for myself what was going on at the recruiting station, so I went to Berkeley...I was surprised to find high scho... more -
"Yes We Can" Showing the Indomitable Will of the American People
Like many others, I loved the music and video that Will.I.Am and his friends created for his “Yes We Can” video.
I could not help but picture the history of the US people invoked by the lyrics, and I saw a history of our people standing up for what is right…for equality, for justice, for peace.
When faced with adversity, the American people will Sit in, Stand up, and Speak Out for what is right.
My video is just a one minute capsule summary showing the indomitable will of the people in the ongoing, “unlikely story that is America”.
Thanks, Will.I.Am for the beautiful song, and thanks, Obama, for rekindling hope in America, and for inspiring so many of us to take action.
Power to the peaceful!
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.

Out on a Limb: Saving UC Oaks
The TaoLive press covers the protest of the cutting of the Oak grove trees outside the UC Berkeley stadium. Tree sitters have resided in the grove for the last 9 months. A fence was erected last week for the "protection" of the sitters. Police will issue citations or arrests for any sitter leaving the trees.
This coverage was taken on September 1, 2007: The day when 70,000 fans arrived for the game between Tennessee and UCB. Many fans were hostile to the tree sitters but declined to be interviewed.

The People Want Peace!
Politicians are like weathervanes?it is our job to make the wind blow?David Brower
I have been pondering the idea that so many of us wish for peace, yet still our leaders lead us into war. Thus, my classmates I at the City College of San Francisco created a music video to make more visible the idea that the People Want Peace!
It is my hope that everyone find a way to stand up, speak out, dance, sing, and create for peace.
Little actions by all, is all that it takes...Let?s make that weathervane turn!
............................................................................................................................................
Many thanks to Misha for his commitment and inspiration.
Special thanks to all the peacemakers pictured here who had participated in the marches, rallies, vigils, die-ins, press conferences in San Francisco in the fall of 2007.
We have the power! We have the will!
