Throughout the world people are drawing the same conclusion. People are taking to the streets in protest, and a growing movement is demanding the introduction of sane thinking and alternative solutions. Here are some things you can do to help end the bloodshed in the Balkans and work toward peacable solutions while building community here at home. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------- Educate yourself and your neighbors... - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------- Find out more about the crisis.
