breakdown  -  http://www.bdown.org

breakdown is an organization created to provide a forum for discussion on political issues and to promote social awareness.   We invite all people withvarious opinions and standpoints to come out into the open and logically defend their position.  The goal is not to support or condemn any viewpoint but to open the discourse to new possibilities.

 breakdown supports direct action without the use of violence as a means of achieving social change.  Our goal is a progressive society of free individuals, one which renews itself constantly in the thrust for the general betterment of humanity.  As such, we are actively seeking new forms of non-authoritarian organizing, horizontal power structures and community-based solutions as alternatives to the problems of the prevailing economic order.
