As part of the Divest UVic campaign started by students, members of UVic’s Faculty Association have created an open letter calling on the university foundation to freeze all new endowment investments in fossil fuels and to develop a plan to divest all current holdings in fossil fuels within three years. The story was picked up on Huffington Post and other media. At the same time more evidence is being presented that continued investments in fossil fuels is a financially risky venture for the federal government. See Globe & Mail.
BC passed a new Water Sustainability Act last week, replacing the 105 year old BC Water Act. But many water researchers and activists including the UVic POLIS Project say we still have a long way to go to create regulations and enforce the Act. See The Province.

Municipal Politics 101:
A presentation and discussion on civic engagement
Tuesday, May 13th @ 7PM
Fernwood Community Hall1923 Fernwood Road
Local political issues have an imminent impact on our day-to-day lives, but they are also the first step towards enacting broader change. Unfortunately, the inner workings of municipal governance are often overlooked by citizens who are more apt to pay attention to provincial and federal headlines.
Let's educate ourselves about the important things taking place right beneath our noses and learn how to take part in the decision making!
All Welcome.

Today’s the day!!!
Today we launched the Stream of Consciousness project. I’m writing ask your help to launch this project powerfully by visiting www.fundthestream.com and making a donation to the project. Each and every donation makes a HUGE difference towards bringing this project into reality. Victoria is brimming with super-talented people: speakers, authors, community organizations and creatives each with a unique message and a commitment to making a difference in the world. Stream of Consciousness will help these people engage more people more effectively. This project is not about gadgets, kit and gear. It’s a about ideas and stories. It’s about giving new thinkers, idea-monsters and life-hackers an edge. We want to build a mind-bomb, an explosion of ideas that will have a huge reach way beyond Victoria. This is going to be an exciting roller-coaster of a month. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook & Twitter so you share in the excitement as it happens. Also, please share this with your friends and colleagues - especially people you know with a message for the world. Thanks for your ear, and whatever support feels good! Best wishes Jason www.fundthestream.com

"Gaza's Ark organizers remain determined after attack"
Gaza's Ark was badly damaged and partially sunk by a large explosion at about 3:45 AM Gaza time on April 29th. No-one was injured. Mustafa Abu Awad, the guard who was on duty at the time, was taken to the hospital for tests and he has now been discharged.
The Ark was in the port of Gaza being readied to put to sea in June. Whether and when the boat can be repaired is something we will not know for sure until it can be pulled out of the water for inspection.
Awad said he had been warned to leave the area by an anonymous caller. "I was [sleeping] near the boat and someone phoned me -- an unidentified caller. I...
