Global Aware - Kensington Market

In September, some fellow classmates and I met Clive, head of the alternative media outlet Counterspace - Global Aware. If you are hearing the name for the first time, try not to forget it. Global Aware runs a small shop on Kensington Ave and a show room in the Kensington Mall. They sell everything from activist stickers which exclaim "Take back your mind. Reject advertising in public space" tp posters depicting mutilated children in Sierra Leone; victims of diamond mining.Their task is not to shock and disturb anyone for no reason, their task is to shock and disturb people into creating change. Or as Clive puts it, "Change has to be radical." I encourage everyone to check out their shop, buy a pin and support this cooperative (pst...they're all volunteers).

You say your scared about the future, so do something about it.
