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.
