Scott Neig

I am a writer, parent, and activist living in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada (Atikameksheng Anishnawbek Territory).I recently completed a major book project based on oral history interviews with long-time Canadian activists. It will likely be published in late 2012...more details to follow. I need to completely revamp the project's website, but for the moment you can check out the old site, here:  www.movement-history.ca. For the next year, I will be doing an interdisciplinary MA in the Humanities at Laurentian University.I maintain a personal/political blog on which I post commentary, analysis, and lots of reviews of political books. It is called A Canadian Lefty in Occupied Land, and you can find it here:scottneigh.blogspot.comI have been involved in many different kinds of social change work since becoming politicized as an undergraduate university student. I am currently involved in Sudbury Against War and Occupation, a local group with a broad anti-war/anti-occupation focus; Justice and Freedom for John Moore, a group that supports an unjustly convicted Ojibwe man in his struggle for exoneration; and a new, local alternative media project affiliated with The Media Co-op (a national network of such groups in Canada). I am also a national advisory board member of the radical political journal Upping the Anti.

ZNetwork: Left News, Analysis, Vision & Strategy

GET UP, STAND UP

What do you stand for?

Dear Z Community,

This August, during Z’s fundraising drive, we are asking you to take action with us. It’s time to get up and stand up, not just in opposition to all the horrors unfolding around us, but to stand up FOR something in unity and strength.

To provide a forum and tools for diverse activists to propose, not just oppose, has been Z’s mission for nearly 50 years. If you agree that now more than ever we urgently need to build collective power and strategically pursue pro-social change – then the ZCommunity is your community. And we have an action path for you!

CLICK TO READ THE 4-STEP ACTION PATH IN FULL

Step 1: Build & support communal infrastructure.
Step 2: Go beyond critique – vision & strategy.
Step 3: Do what you can, where you are, in your own way.
Step 4: Share, reflect, improve, enjoy, and repeat.

It’s up to each of us NOW to take care of each other, of our alternative, liberatory, and compassionate systems and infrastructure, and to share this hopeful practice as an antidote to the death-cults of capital and fascism. 

You are an essential part of an incredible community, traveling together towards a worthy vision for better.

In solidarity,

The ZStaff
