Grassroots organizations play an instrumental role in government accountability and contribute to healthy public policies

The last few weeks have been witness to two important moments in the history of women's rights in Canada that are clearly at odds.

Canadian CD Raises Money for HIV/AIDS Work in Africa

CD Samples

  Baby Dee - When you found me

  Little Annie - Freddie and me

  Vashti Bunyan - The same but different

All proceeds from Not Alone donated to Doctors Without Borders

A new 5 CD set of alternative music has already raised more than $25,000 for HIV/AIDS work for Doctors Without Borders (http://www.msf.ca/). Not Alone is the brainchild of Canadian Mark Logan, founder of Busted Flat Records and Jnana Records, who, along with David Tibet of Current 93 fame, invited more than 85 musicians from around the globe to donate their tracks to help raise money for this important cause.

Artists include Canadian indie acts such as Lynn Jackson, Mary 5E and Sarah Hallman, and a wide range of well established alternative musicians, such as Isobel Campbell, Vashti Bunyan and Baby Dee.
