"9/11 became an excuse, a pre-text, to launch the kind of sweeping political changes the ruling elite of the US desperately wanted, but could not pass off yet, on the American public."- #1 of 6 Reasons to Oppose the War in Afghanistan.

The Grassroots to the Forefront

The Sitch (short for situation) highlights the activism of ordinary people around the country and different parts of the world. Our goal is to help expose injustice and provide a platform for people to make their voice heard. At the same time we aim to provide a serving of politics to arm people with the tools to demand change and chart a way forward.

The Point Is To Change It

Once armed with the ideas and arguments, we must put them to practice. The only way to change things for the better is through grassroots organization and education, to put governing bodies’ feet to the fire. By debating, reading, and organizing we can win battles for reform and ultimately a different world.
