Arusha Actions


 See action.arusha.org for our most recent events

Arusha Actions are events which give Calgarians opportunities for action on social and environmental issues. The Arusha Action series presents timely, engaging films, guest speakers, events that showcase the hero and action figures in our every day lives. These Info-Active events help Calgarians take information into action by bringing together local researchers, performers, filmmakers and activists. Each of the Action Films and many more are available from the Arusha lending library.

 

Take Action Grant Applications Due First of the Month

Take Action Grants have been issued by Calgary Dollars (C$) since it began circulating complementary currency in 1996. These grants, issued in 50% C$ and Canadian dollars, are designated for social and environmental projects in Calgary. Grants help educate Calgarians about the role of complementary currency, expand the amount of C$ in circulation, educate Calgarians about social and environmental issues in our city, and provide much-needed funds to initiatives.

"... now is our chance to make a difference. Maybe an example should be taken by Ghandi. Let the power of the masses take the people to the streets. Raise our voices louder than
the bombs and the guns. Demand equality, peace and decency for everybody..."
