Women and men from across the US are coming to hear international
women speakers discuss a different point of view, one that will
offset the negative and exploitative mentality of our times, while
encouraging non violent activism to change the global Patriarchal
Capitalist system. Proposing to unite the women's movement, the
movement of indigenous peoples for social change, the movement
against domestic violence, the movement for alternative
spiritualities and many others with the anti nuclear and peace
movements, the gift paradigm envisions total and long lasting social
change stemming from an economic and cultural model based on
women's practice. In these times it is not enough to vote Democrat
or Republican. Whoever wins the presidential election, a mind shift
that will stop producing violence, war and abuse must take place in
this country. The conference will be held in Las Vegas because of
the possibility of cheap flights and because of the need to be
healing and constructive in the midst of chaos.
