How much of Earth's atmosphere must we contaminate? How much of our lands and waters must we pollute? How much of our resources must we plunder, deplete? How many species must we ravage, despoil, extinguish? How many people must we degrade, deprive, destroy with toxic wastes and wars, before we learn to respect one another, to live in harmony on this planet, our Home? "All living beings are brothers and sisters, nourished from the same source of life.." -- Thich Nhat Hanh

I was born in Eastern Europe during the height of the Stalinist regime's reign of terror. Thus, I know what it is like to live under a repressive, dictatorial regime. The fear and terror -- as dissident friends and family members were tortured, imprisoned and some were executed -- is indelibly etched in my memory. That is the reason I have always been an ardent advocate of freedom, social justice, civil liberties, human rights and a voice of peace. The way I see it, war is morally wrong, regardless of who wages it, for whatever reason. No piece of land or commodity is worth the sacrifice of one human life. We are all members of the same race - the "human race" - and must learn to coexist peacefully. Our planet cannot sustain us much longer if we do not stop our wars, nukes, polluting, deforestation, and the wasteful, gluttonous consumption and depletion of our natural resources.

Video of Toronto Anti-War Actions -- July 22

August 1, 2006 - The Toronto Video Activist Collective (TVAC) is proud to present a short collage of video from the July 22, 2006 demonstration against the war on Lebanon and Palestine on our website:

TVAC has been producing progressive, grassroots, activist-oriented video since 1998. In 2003, TVAC produced the popular "Peace Now!" video about the massive anti-Iraq war movement that developed over the months between August 2002 to April 2003.

TVAC is looking for more volunteers to assist with the documentation, editing, and distribution of activist video. If you capture video at demos, we need your help. Please spread the word and help us create better media for the movement.
