Hi folks, One of our close partners in our work on Resilient Communities is the folks developing the Y2K Community Web Site. We think it is emerging as one of the best clearing houses on the web for what we're calling the "common sense common ground" around Y2K. Here's an announcement they asked us to pass on to you: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Good things have been happening at the Y2K Community Project Web site. Been by lately? Check out the site at http://www.y2kcommunity.org. And let us know what you think! Y2K community organizing has really taken off in the US, and we have lots of new content to inspire and support your community efforts: - Links to featured community Web sites: great sites that can provide you with detailed information, news of other communities, and examples of using the Web for community organizing work. - References on community organizing techniques and tools. - Abstracts of significant national initiatives in support of community organizing. - Selected articles and links to significant writers on human systems theory and analysis, to help you broaden and deepen your understanding of Y2K--possibly humanity's most complex global socio-technological crisis ever. [For those of you who may not yet be taking Y2K very seriously -- please don't give in to the temptation to dismiss it as being merely about a few people's urges to prophesy gloom and doom, or just about self-serving hype, or preparedness, survival, or some millenarian fantasy. It's more complicated and more important than all of these fringe manifestations. The times are calling on each of us to participate *with intention* in a period of significant human transformation. Y2K, huge as it is, is only one of the wavefronts of a much larger dynamic. I personally challenge each of you (as I challenge myself) to continue to further your education.] Please forward this mail.
