Big Block Network Official Members

This is a list of our Official Members. Big Block Network Official
Members, or OM's, are selected for their unique approach to presenting
active solutions to what we, at BBN, consider some of our world most pressing
problems.

OpenDoor TV

(Open and Independent Public TV)

We support OpenDoor
TV because their projects and their vision offer anyone the
opportunity to broadcast video programs to a network of community public access
TV stations in the USA and potentially elsewhere in the world as their partner
network grows. In these days when media tends to be consolidated and controlled
by large conglomerates it is vitally important that we preserve independent
media channels.

World Talent Quest

(Fiercely Independent Music by Choice)

We support World
Talent Quest because of their commitment to fair business models that
assure the musician a fair share of the revenues created by their music. We also
support their willingness to use music as a social change agent as a means to
raise funds for deserving non-profits and relieve organizations around the
world.

Lumonics Light Museum

(Positive Light and Source of Inspiration)

We Support the Lumonics
Light Museum for their exquisite use of light and sound to convey
positive and amazingly human messages of Peace, Love, Unity and Hope. They
continually amaze us with their creative genius and their hypnotizing,
subcutaneous, subliminal, educating LIGHT.

AnarchTee

(Sweat Shop Free Clothing with a Message)

AnarchTee is a group of artists creating simple and intelligent clothing with a message. All of their clothing is completely made, designed and printed in the USA. They have a rocking web site at www.anarchtee.com where you can order their very reasonably priced and always conversation starter clothing. We like to see people taking matters in their own hands and we support them for being independent, grass-roots, intelligent, artistic and dedicated to a good cause.

Cornwall's Voice for Animals

(A strong and comprehensive Voice for Animal Rights)

We asked
Cornwall's Voice for Animals to join BBN because of their intense and sincere commitment to the Animal Rights cause. Their dedication and vigilance is strong, heartfelt and we believe very effective in raising public awareness for this vitally important issue. We are so very proud to be working with them.

Lady Hollister

(Working for Peace from Within)

Lady Hollister is the first individual to become a BBN's OM. She defines what she does as "A service for world peace". Dedicated to bringing you the best in consciousness raising events, be they musical, artistic, poetic, political or spiritual." We at BBN think she does much more than that ... we are constantly inspired by her positive contribution to a better world. You can visit her page here in myspace at www.myspace.com/silversoularmy where you can find out for yourself why so many people find the positive vibes she emanates so contagious.

Cali

(Be Fearless. Choose Love.)

We asked Cali to become a Big Block Network OM mainly because we sensed her passion and commitment to change, universal love and to a better world. Rarely does one find such a powerful integration of passion and talent in one person. Yes, Cali is a very talented writer and an artist, (she is also a bit of a mystery, most talented people are) We see her using this talent to open new, creative and loving paths to a better world. You can visit her page here at www.myspace.com/worldwider We love you Cali.
