The Alternatives Exposition website is trying a new self-financing model. We have Google ads placed on the pages to bring in some revenue, but you can make the annoying Google ads go away, by subscribing to the site for a small $1/month subscription cost. (This is charged $3/quarter). Our goal is to bring in a minimum of $40 per month to pay for the web-hosting costs and webmaster support services. More than that is better, of course.

Just remember "Freedom isn't Free" and, if you enjoy what we do at the AltExpo, then please contribute financially through the website subscription.

Thanks for your support! As of this point, we only have 5 subscribers.

What is direct action?

Some say "Hey, this country is a democratic republic, right?" But, that's not true. The country is you and me and all our neighbors and what we all do creates our community.

Indirect action is asking your representatives in government (which is a democratic republic nominally) to do something for you. At the Alternatives Expo, we're generally talking about direct action - the things you can do yourself! When you do things for yourself and act peacefully with your fellows in community, you may not often have to ask the public officials to do anything for you.
