the activist magazine explores the interconnections of peace, ecology and human rights through various activist campaigns and experiences. By bringing these issues together in people's minds, the activist seeks to educate and engage its readers in the arts of resistance. The activist started as a newsletter of the "against cruise testing" (act) coalition in 1984. Act went on to form "act for disarmament", an organization which called for demilitarization around the world. As the movement grew, the newsletter expanded to become a newspaper for "peace, ecology & human rights". This has remained our vision ever since. The newspaper continued until 1998 when we switched to our current magazine format. Since then we have changed our editorial focus from that of a campaign newspaper, to a magazine dedicated to the world of activism. The activist magazine is a toolkit for building a better world. The activist magazine and website presents a forum for activists to:
# share strategies;
# analyze common contentious issues and struggles within social/political movements;
# teach new skills useful to activist groups and individuals;
# exchange stories of activist lives;
# offer fresh perspectives on activism;
# share visions for a better world. The activist magazine is a resource to help activists be more effective, covering activism by presenting the broader scope of social movements around the world.
