I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Ottawa Book Launch for Transforming Power, that was held at the Raw Sugar Cafe earlier today. The cafe was definitely packed with people who came to both see Judy & celebrate Octopus Books' 40th Anniversary. The venue was intimate and everyone was interested in hearing from Judy. We have been doing the Website for Octopus Books now for probably 8 years (Krishna & I put up what was at the time a fairly complex site at that time) and also helped Judy Rebick put together her site over the past couple of months.
We took a leadership role in supporting Judy's site because we saw the potential for this project to mobilize the social justice movement in Canada. When we (Krishna & I) first worked with Judy it was when we helped to launch rabble.ca back in 2001. Rabble.ca has done a lot to help to focus left leaning media and discussion since that time and it was with rabble.ca that we were involved in our first advocacy campaign to build a petition to release Jaggi Shing.
