Over the last month or so, the CEDC has been posting images taken by Sr. Kit Collins, in commemoration of the second anniversary of her passing on March 18, 2010. One of the things that Kit and other members of the Washington area RSCJ were very passionate about was taking part in protests in the name of social justice and peace. The pictures on this page were taken by Sr.
It is hard to put into words the effect that Sister Kit Collins had on my life, and this was not a unique experience. She was a woman who made an indelilble impact on people everywhere she went all of the time, the kind of soul with whom the smallest interaction creates a lifelong memory.
Two years ago this month, CEDC lost its foundress and Executive Director, Sister Kit Collins. To say Kit was at the heart of what CEDC does is a vast understatement. Her vision for social justice and her mission ethos were incorporated into CEDC from our beginning and continue to inspire us in our work as we partner with organizations that are working to transform the world, seeking solidarity and justice in the environment, education, immigration, children and youth issues, peace, and more.
If you've been trying to "Like" links or other posts from a nonprofit Facebook page that you are an administrator, you may have experienced the way that Facebook treats those "Likes" as though they come from the page instead of from your personal account. Fortunately the fix is quite simple.
The CEDC is proud to partner with the Center of Concern, and joins them in celebration of their 40th anniversary of working for the causes of justice and peace in the world. Established in the Washington, D.C. neighborhood of Brookland where the CEDC is located, the two "Centers" have been partners since our inception in 1984. The impact the Center of Concern has been able to have for social justice around the world has been monumental.
Joomla 2.5 has been released. Congratulations to the entire Joomla community! This is a long-term release and Joomla 1.5 will reach its end of life in April 2012 (see the Joomla development cycle infographic). We are recommending all Joomla sites be upgraded before then. You can download it at Joomla.org.
In doing some research for a potential project, I was exploring what kinds of eAdvocacy options were available to plug in to CiviCRM. Many of the big commercial eAdvocacy tools have big commercial price tags to go with them (and don't integrate directly with CiviCRM besides).
UPDATE: POPVOX and CiviCRM can now be integrated! See this blog post for more information.
(Nov. 3) A free hands-on workshop to explore Popular Education as a tool for the empowerment of peoples and the transformation of our communities.
