Counter Culture

The experiment of a P.a.T.C.H. went pretty well. In the darkly lit old, wooden community center of Saint Luke's Church in West Harlem about thirty people spent a few hours sharing tunes, artwork, ideas and food. Although all activists were invited it became thoroughly routed in Environmental Justice, Food Justice and Eco Defense. There was Vegan and Freegan food. People spoke about MTR, Fracking and EJ history. Folks from Campus Sustainability groups met folks from Radical Environmental groups. The way it should be. Because it is a break from the everyday fabric of materialism and waste, degredation and exploitation, we say Reduce, Reuse, Resist! But I guess the main thing, as was intended, was that people shared how they felt, and that's what it's all about.
