Regarding the Kickstarter drive for the Parecomic book - its gone well so far, support in words of encouragement and interest has been very high - but the actual money in has only been moderate, around 60% of the goal so far.The problem is that if we don't make the FULL target amount in the time limit then we get nothing at all, zero (that is kickstarter's rule) .

So, with only 12 days left on the books funding drive, would anyone who wants to support this comic book about Michael Albert and parecon ideas please make a pledge before April 23rd.

Make a pledge for this project now.

Pledging to put money in actually takes out nothing from your account at that point - it does not come out until after the time limit of the kickstarter drive is up and only if the full goal is reached.

"...a graphic novel about something that affects us all: the system we live in - what's wrong with it, and how we might be able change it for the better! The recent upsurge in popular protest in the USA and around the world shows that people are not happy with the state of things. The Occupy movements show us that many people would prefer a better system, a model that will work for the 99%, not just the 1%."

So, please go and have a look at the info and video there, and pledge some funding support if you like the PARECOMIC project. The money is only a PLEDGE at first, it does not get taken out of your account now, its taken out about 2 months later, if the total target money is made. To pledge you just select an amount from the choices on the right side, and it processes it via amazon:
