No On 102: Take A Picture. Take A Stand!

This flickr group represents the beginning of a grassroots campaign to fight against Arizona Proposition 102. Prop 102 would amend the Arizona Constitution to say "only a union between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state". This issue is on the ballot for November 4th, even though Arizona residents voted on, and rejected, this issue just two short years ago. This time around, the “Yes On 102” campaign has a huge budget to spread their message. Their billboards, signs, and radio/television ads are everywhere right now. It’s easy to let that make us feel invisible, marginalized, hopeless….but now, more than ever; we cannot afford to let that happen. Consider this a call to action! We want to counter those images and messages of divisiveness, exclusion and prejudice with images of inclusion, equality and acceptance. If you live in Arizona take a picture of you in front of your “No on 102’ lawn sign, print a sign for your car window and take a picture of that, or stand in front of one of the “Yes” signs holding your own handmade sign that shows your support of equality and your desire to defeat this proposition. Kiss, hug, hold hands, flash a big peace sign…whatever you’re inspired to do.* If you live elsewhere in the country, but want to show your support, make a sign of your own celebrating peace, love, acceptance, equality, love. Involve your children, neighbors – heck, get your pets in the mix too - just make sure to write “No On 102” somewhere on the sign! Margaret Mead said: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” To that we add, never underestimate the power of a simple photograph. Our pictures, taken from the heart, often speak louder than our voices ever could. Collectively we believe these images will carry our message of equality forward and outward – spreading a wave of positive energy that will help us defeat this proposition once and for all. ----- Please note: over the next few days we will be adding a blog, myspace and facebook page to our campaign. All photos posted to this flickr group may be posted in either of the above places unless otherwise noted. *Just keep it legal folks – nothing obscene or vulgar, and definitely nothing against the law – no graffiti or defacement, keep it positive! Please remember to tag your photos "noon102"

unskooled

Welcome to all unschoolers/natural learners. This group is for posting photos of unschooling. As unschoolers know, that can leave the door pretty wide open; but lets try to represent what unschooling is all about. Photos of what your kids do, how they learn, where they go, things they make, how they enjoy their freedom! I would like to encourage everyone to add a brief description to their photos; and also encourage group discussions for sharing ideas or stories on the topic of unschooling. Especially any resources that may be helpful or fun for other members. Lets create a fun little community environment here! KEEP 'UN' DOING THE WAY YOU DO!!! angela @@ U

~*Flickr Pics That *WoW* Us*~

~*This group is for those pictures of just about anything that has that *WoW* factor- it can come from a great subject, eye-catching treatment, or a new way of looking at something we pass by every day. It's for those pictures that strike us the moment we see them, that we can't seem to quit admiring, or wish we had taken! We're not looking for snapshots; Pictures that you just don't see or take every day is what we're looking for here- the best Flickr has to offer! ~*Amatuers and professionals are welcome equally- none of us have reached perfection yet, and we can all learn and be inspired by the work of others! ~*Comments/critiques are encouraged, but please be tender with your words- remember that for photographers, each picture is like our own child and few of us accept criticism of our children very well. ~*Of course, there should be no inappropriate materials included within this group- no nudity, no foul language, etc. Also, for the safety of our human subjects, do not include full names of any person that is included in your photograph in it's name or description. First names are OK, but let's please not give those who have less than honorable intentions anything to work with. ~*Members can post up to 3 photos per day- no invite needed, but keep the group's focus in mind when submitting! And no rules on commenting, just remember that comments are great and help others improve their craft so comment liberally! ~*Join, post, invite enjoy! *********************************************************************************************** ~*When commenting on a pic in the stream please include this code: ~*Your Flickr Pic deserves a Big ~*WoW*~ As seen in flickrpicsthatwowus ~*It will look like this: ~*Your Flickr Pic deserves a Big ~*WoW*~ As seen in flickrpicsthatwowus ~*When inviting pictures to the group, please use this code: ~*Your Flickr Pic has that ~*WoW*~ factor!
