World Action Direct Network-What is?

Who we are-What we do

Notice; we operate separately but collectively in an effort to target important messages to where they are intended to go, and/or communities where those messages will resonate.We have access to each others accounts in an effort to give more effective service.If you have concerns and do not want us to "multi-party" retweet information, please notify the account holder you joined.


World Action Direct Network is a group of advocates committed to informing the wider community of #humanrights #indigenous #homeless #environmental and #marginalization #climate #foodsecurity issues worldwide.

We harness the resources of Twitter, & other networks as necessary to promote local issues worldwide,and worldwide issues locally.Our collective, of individual tweeters, sometimes choose to engage more directly in the issue.We prioritize siding with people over organisations and the environment over interests who would destroy it.

Our core group on Twitter are

"Not in our name" campaigner advocating public transparency for organisations receiving government and donor funding in the name of marginalised groups- bulk (80%) of funds received to be deployed in a manner which constituents find beneficial. Views Federal State and local body homelessness policies as serving government departments and charity-businesses. Advocates stimulates and advises marginalised on self empowerment via self developed exit strategies. Currently promoting Sydney Homeless Homestay & internet for empowerment.

@Anarchists is the box many put this mercurial identity into...it fits (but not quite) and I wear it comfortably.Ex Project Manager (construction),passionate traveller, sometime editor, fundraiser and activist for many causes.Passionate supporter of own indigenous community.Persistent advocate for childrens & youth rights.Father of 11. Probably disagree with many views of other team members-content to work together on the things we do agree on. Believer in building stronger cohesive self empowered communities from the individual outward-not top down.

@1stNations has worked with several aboriginal polynesian inuit and micronesian communities and is of Guyanian Arawak, GajangGajang & Bunjalung Oz Aboriginal, Kanak & Maori descent. "In negotiations with governments, invariably, indigenous people lose something.I know of not one case where a government has entered negotiations without seeking a greater advantage for themselves than they already have.

@blackfellas Born in Colignan Victoria- a city reared Australian aboriginal with links to the Yarabah Cherbourg and Adelaide River mobs- internet marketer,busker,AFL nut(Go Swannies) and budding country music artist.Jail educated-still can't quite get my head around me getting 2 years for taking a car that wasn't being used,while the jailmasters get honours and accolades for stealing an entire country.

Core group have access to all group Twitter accounts for management purposes,and often Tweet relevant articles across each others accounts.
  • Committed to "WalkAway" policy in relationships with government.If they have anything they wish to engage about,let it be at a time place and on terms of our choosing-or not at all.
  • Advocate of an immediate end to the racist intervention policies or the extension of those policies to ALL Australians-risky strategy,but I just can't see the wider Australian community wearing it. Supporter of aboriginal self determination.

@Brasil_Indigena is our Brazilian language service co-ordinated by a youthful team of Brazilian ac.

Collectively,my raison de etre is to build and drive a self sufficient internet platform which allows and enables marginalised communities to broadcast their issues, and the world community to support them.We are NOT protesters.We are promoters of and advocates for the causes we select.

I do not align with or promote any religion, poliitical party or government.We do provide news of above where that news has an impact on our identified causes or communities.

My objective is to offer a 24 hour supported service with multilingual partners conveying and communicating to end oppression and marginalisation worldwide.
