Green politics link page for Rainbowbody network lists a small fragment of the myriad indigenous (Non-Government Organizations) NGOs and grass root groups of rainbow warrior people liberating self and others (and reclaiming their innate indigenous spiritual sense of sacred self). Not everyone will agree, but that is a sure sign of a free and tolerant society (although such signs are diminishing in the USA where there is a concerted to effort to make everyone conform to a dumbed down mass hysteria).
Rather a culture which honors diversity of thought, honors critical and creative thought, rather than forcing blind conformity and obsequiousness. This latter "World" may appear as a threat to the dictator and his follow the leader soldiers, but nevertheless it is not a way that is honorable nor does it have any integrity. A world where everyone is forced or led to believe alike -- where dissent is crushed is by definition exploitive and abusive.
This is only a small sampling of the tens of thousands of nonprofit non-government organizations who are altruistically doing jobs that their government has neglected and in most cases have opposed. This latter fact speaks to the present dysfunction, counterproductivity, and failure of most of today's unaccountable governments (but accountable in terms of large sums of money to the transnational corporate elitists) who are bent on continuing their control, manipulation, and exploitation of their people, just as they exploit and subjugate natural systems, wildlife and natural resources. In most cases the following organizations represent the common vision and legitimate struggle for people's rights of self determination in the face of transnational greedy paranoiac aggression by alien, corrupt, distant, absent and faceless self serving cartels of power. The people and organizations below -- the assemblage of rainbow warriors represent a common spirit for liberation, dignity, harmony, justice, and balance -- they, and a hundred times them, will serve joyously to build the RAINBOWBRIDGE for future generations . Such work is a natural joyful expression of our love and as such is allied with the mother and her helpers. For this to occur we need to honor our own bodies as well, acknowledge and respect ALL life, and its source as a sacred continuity.
Working for peace, for future generations, for life, for liberation, for freedom, for integrity, and for truth is the opposite of working for the killing of the creative spirit, war, prisons, slavery, dishonesty, conformity, and totalitarian obsequiousness. The former is self empowering, while the latter is the result of intimidation, cowardice, and neurotic repression. Silence is also a result of complicit (although usually not explicit) collaboration (and fear) which permits the abuses to occur (it is implicit consent). Anyone can fly a flag and follow the leader, but such are not the acts of free men. Rather it is a bit more difficult in times of war. to think for oneself and act in accord for a just future for the children. The latter is taking response-ability, while the former continues the plague of the earth..

value systems, technologies, and structures that would release processes leading
to a more sustainable society. Located in Sri Lanka. The chief objective of
Sarvodaya is . . . awakening. The root problem of poverty is seen as being a
sense of personal and collective powerlessness. And 'awakening' is to take place
not in isolation but through social, economic, and political interaction. Personal
awakening is seen as being interdependent with the awakening of one's local
community, and both play a part in the awakening of one's nation and of the
whole world
