The countdown continues for the First Annual Zeitgeist Media Festival - a global, multi-media event working to utilize the Arts as a medium of sharing and creating sustainable values in the pursuit of a better world.
Since antiquity, the Arts have been a powerful catalyst in the development of the "Zeitgeist" of the time. It is the Arts that continually work to challenge common beliefs; initiate progress and it is no wonder that many of the greatest thinkers and scientists in history gave tremendous credence to its power and utility.
The Main Event for the Zeitgeist Media Festival will occur on Sept 11th, 2011 (2pm) at the MUSIC BOX in HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA.
This event features socially conscious, artistic power-houses such as famed Guitar Legend Billy Gibbons, World Musician Natacha Atlas, Violin Virtuoso Lili Haydn, Ben Stewart's Hierosonic, the social comedy of Rick Overton (MC) and Lee Camp and much, much more.
Zeitgeist Movement Townhall Meetings are a community forum for the public to engage the Movement in Questions & Answers about root-cause understandings to social problems and the solutions we advocate, culminating in what can be termed a Global, Resource-Based Economic Model.
The Next Townhall in Los Angeles will be Sunday August 28th, 2011
"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
- Martin Luther King Jr.
"All the coordinates of global environmental, social and economic meltdown are in fact connected, and their common cause lies in proliferating mutant sequences of money-demand whose defining principle - as the dominant economic paradigm that houses them - is NOT to serve, but to FEED on life-hosts."
- John McMurtry

At some point in the "not too distant future CA Chapters will need to transition from the current Groupsite web platform (which is now changing to a monthly fee structure) to a workable, free platform.
With that goal I am seeking help from anyone that is a Drupal expert to assess and test the viability of the Open Atrium platform with me.
If you have expertise in the Drupal CMS and the time to dedicate to working with the platform, please contact the ZMCA Webmaster: Click to contact
The purpose of this video project series is to capture the general understanding of a specific topic by asking random people on the streets. We hope that this will spark some critical discussion about the flaws of our current system.
The theme of the first episode is, "Is Money Really Necessary?" This can be answered in a number of ways from an individual as well as a societal level. For this episode, we asked some general questions that we hope will help lead to answer the larger question at hand, which is, do we really need money in our society?
