[Lapg] Fw: Joyful Activist - funding deadline is tomorrow and we can make it!...with your help

[Joan Stevens]

Not so specifically permaculture but absolutely permacultural.  A group of 
individuals united forces to co-create a movement!  One that brings play and 
community to create positive tangible change in the world!
One of the Joyful Activist projects was to complete the Dudley Triangle - a 
highly visible piece of real estate in Venice that is now a 
beautiful demonstration of permaculture principles.
This project had been in the works for years and got mostly complete in a day 
because of Joyful Activism!  Powerful force for positive change!
So close to a huge goal (now at $1300, $3000 raised yesterday!) and you can 
help!
If you can kick in just a few dollars that will help.  If you can spread the 
word to others that will help. 

Please help!
Thanks,
Joan

"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We 
must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our 
young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, 
clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from 
hands-on experience"
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even 
if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is 
enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the 
very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and 
shelter." 



- Bill Mollison

Dear Joan,

First, a huge thank you to everyone who has become a backer already.  I am so 
grateful.   Drum roll.........

We passed the $10k mark yesterday!

We've got great momentum now and and we can make the goal by Saturday at 
midnight - IF you send this link to everyone you know.

Please watch the video and become a backer at any level, and you get rewards: 
books, mobile apps, credit on the website and in the book, etc.

The deadline for us to reach the funding goal is tomorrow, Dec. 4, at midnight.  
If we fall short, nobody's credit card is charged, and we get nothing!  So 
please Hurry!





We put up a shorter video, below, as well.  Feel free to share either or both, 
whatever will work best for your network of friends.



The Joyful Activist Playbook encourages people to find and live their own unique 
true JOY, trusting that by doing so, they are part of a much larger community, 
with untold numbers each doing their own little bit, every day. Each person 
living their joy, while paying attention to the injustice s/he can alleviate, is 
part of the new global movement - activism with a joyful basis. 

The website and mobile app back up that trust with tangible proof that others 
are out there engaging in these joyful activities. These tools make it possible 
for users to get more inspired, share joyful activities with others, find fellow 
activators for support at any location, and always feel part of a larger 
community of those who care - anytime, anyplace - at the click of a button. You 
need never feel alone in your daily practice of more joy, at more times, with 
more people.

So please, share this email and video with your friends.  Blog it.  Facebook 
it.  Tweet it.  Post it to sites you frequent.  Send to organizations you belong 
to.  Easy ways to do each are outlined below.  I promise you that when we reach 
the goal, I will build a powerful tool that will enable all of us to not just 
feel, but actually be connected to our chosen communities, no matter what the 
situation.

If you can support with any financial amount, even a dollar, that's a huge 
help.  Just click on the video link above, and then click the "Back This 
Project" button.Other ways to spread the word:
