Yishay sez,”O caminho para o Inferno é pavimentado com as melhores intenções (inclusive as minhas). Aprenda como realmente ajudar os protestantes e não o governo do Irã”

O propósito desse guia é te ajudar a participar construtivamente dos protestos das eleições no Irã através do Twitter.

1. NÃO torne público IPs de proxy no twitter, sobretudo usando a hashtag #iranelection. Autoridades de segurança estão monitorando essa hashtag e no momento que eles identificam um proxy eles o bloqueiam. Se você estiver criando novos proxies paras os blogueiros iranianos, mande uma DM para ele para @stopAhmadi ou @iran09 e eles iram distribuir discretamente para os blogueiros no Irã.

02. Hashtags: As duas únicas legítimas sendo usadas pelo blogueiros do Irã são #iranelection e #gr88 , ao usar qualquer outra hashtag corre-se o risco da conversa ficar diluída.

3. Tenha bom senso! Autoridades de segurança estão fazendo contas no twitter para espalhar informações falsas ao se passarem por manifestantes iranianos. Por favor, não RT sem pensar, tente confirmar a informação através de fontes confiáveis antes de passar adiante. As fontes legítimas não são difíceis de serem achadas e de seguidas.

4. Ajude a esconder os blogueiros: mude suas configurações no Twitter para que mostre sua localização como TEHRAN e seu fuso horário como GMT +3.30. Autoridades de segurança estão procurando por blogueiros que usam essa localização e fuso horário. Se todos nós nos tornarmos ‘Iranianos’ será muito mais difícil para achá-los.

5. Não revele a verdadeira identidade deles! Se você descobrir uma fonte real, por favor, não torne público o nome ou localização um website. Esses blogueiros estão correndo PERIGO. Espalhe a mensagem discretamente através da sua própria rede de contatos, mas não os entregue para as autoridades de segurança. As pessoas estão morrendo lá, pra valer, por favor, lembre-se disso…

Je suis neutre concernant les élections iraniennes. Mais je suis très pro liberté d’expression. Que nous soyons en accord ou en désaccord avec n’importe quel citoyen iranien, ils devraient avoir le droit d’exprimer leurs points de vue. Voici des moyens simples pour les aider à vaincre les tentatives de censure en Iran:

1. Avez-vous Twitter? Changer votre emplacement twitter pour n’importe quelle ville en Iran. Si nous sommes tous Iraniens, il est sera plus difficile pour les censeurs du gouvernement iranien de traquer les tweeters. (Voir la liste des villes iraniennes à http://is.gd/13UCt.) Certaines personnes disent que vous devez aussi changer de fuseau horaire pour celui de Téhéran, ce qui est de 3,5 heures après GMT (GMT +3:30). D’autres personnes disent que ce n’ai pas la peine : le seul changement de ville peut être efficace. Jugez par vous-même.

2. Voici une liste de quelques idées simples pour savoir comment vous pouvez aider à http://is.gd/15ea3 (Il s’agit du “BoingBoing” post pour ceux d’entre vous qui sont déjà assez au courant pour l’avoir déjà vu, ceux d’entre vous qui cherchent des idées plus ambitieux pour participer consulter http://iran.sharearchy.com/)

3. Terminé avec # 1 et # 2 ci-dessus? Pour aider à recruter d’autres aussi. Spread the word. Voici quelques façons dont vous pouvez faire:

* Tweet cette phrase: Moyens simples pour aider les Iraniens la liberté d’expression: http://is.gd/14SL6 #IranElection #gr88 Pls RT

* Il peut également être un copier / coller cette annonce dans votre blog ou votre page Facebook afin que le plus de gens possible le voit. Ou tout simplement un lien vers son site d’origine à http://is.gd/14SL6. (Si vous copier / coller, s’il vous plaît veillez à copiez le texte du site d’origine afin de ne pas avoir des URL mis à jour ou d’autres informations.)

* De plus, voter pour ce blog (http://is.gd/14SL6) à un ou plusieurs des éléments suivants: http://www.stumbleupon.com/, http://www.reddit.com/; http://is.gd/14XFP (digg.com) Cela permettra de trouver plus de gens.

4. Vous cherchez d’autres idées pour vous aider? Consultez http://iran.sharearchy.com/. Cela donne des instructions sur la façon dont vous pouvez configurer votre propre serveur proxy pour aider les blog Iraniens avec plus de sécurité (plus facile que vous ne le pensez, mais avec certaines réserves que vous aurez besoin de lire en cliquant sur le lien). Il y a aussi des conseils pour savoir comment participer au dialogue mondial et mobiliser l’appui d’une manière qui protège la sécurité des bloggers iraniens et tweeters.

5. Êtes-vous bilingue? S’il vous plaît envisager de traduire ce texte dans une autre langue écrite. Laissez un lien dans le commentaire à http://is.gd/13U0V afin que les autres peuvent en apprendre sur le sujet, et Tweetez le dans la langue cible. Ou si vous n’avez pas de place pour écrire une traduction, contactez-moi en utilisant les commentaires ci-dessous et je peux envoyer une traduction pour vous.

Si vous êtes ambitieux, s’il vous plaît envisager de faire traduire le texte à http://is.gd/13TK4 et / ou le texte à http://iran.sharearchy.com/. (Le premier de ces deux liens est court et facile. Le deuxième est beaucoup plus longue et plus technique. Ne traduisez pas la seconde, sauf si vous comprenez les ordinateurs. Il n’est pas bon de donner aux gens erronée des instructions sur la façon de mettre en place un proxy ordinateur !)

6. Vous souhaitez suivre les “tweets” de l’Iran (et de supporters ailleurs)? À twitter.com, faire une recherche pour #IranElection ou #gr88 Ce sont les deux balises de hachage utilisée par les blogueurs iraniens eux-mêmes (hash tags sont utilisés pour aider à trouver des tweets sur des thèmes spécifiques). Comme le “boing boing” post l’indique, restez sur vos gardes: bien que certains des tweets sont légitimes, certains peuvent donnerde la désinformation. Plus, il ya l’habituel mélange de réelles informations et de rumeur et de spéculation. Mais les gens postent parfois des liens vers de bonnes nouvelles histoires ou de nouvelles vidéos et photos venues d’Iran.

Are you looking for more ways to help support freedom of speech in Iran? Are you bilingual? In English and ANY OTHER LANGUAGE, whether spoken, written, or signed? Do you feel competent to translate simple text from English to another language? (Written, spoken, or signed) Please read on.

1. A short blog post has been written entitled “Simple Ways to Help Iranian Free Speech” #IranElection #gr88. This blog post gives a few simple ideas how to support freedom of speech in Iran. It also links to two more important posts (currently only in English that I know of) with more ideas for how to help. Please consider translating this blog post, which you can find at http://is.gd/13U0V. If you can translate it to any other language, then I would be happy to post it for you at this blog (just post the translated text in the comments area here, or send me a Word file to ashettle [at] patriot.net). Or you are also welcome to post the translation at your blog instead and I will link to you there. (In fact, if you can help post translations at your blog, either your own or someone else’s, that would be a big plus for me.)

Please do include a translation of the headline (”Simple Ways to Help Iranian Free Speech”). Be sure to include all appropriate hypertext links in your translation. But also CONVERT URLs as needed (for example if you’re translating the “Simple Ways” post to Esperanto … then set up a “Digg” vote for YOUR Esperanto post and make sure you encourage people to “Digg” YOUR Esperanto translation, not just the english translation! and tell people to tweet YOUR esperanto post, not the English one! and link back to YOUR translation as the “original home” for YOUR language version!)) Also, provide a tweet in the target language with appropriate hashtags if you can (so I can help re-tweet it for you!)

2. Another important post that can use translation assistance is http://is.gd/13TK4 In fact, you may want to translate this one before you translate #1 above (look at both and decide for yourself.) This is another fairly short, simple text to translate.

3. Want to do a third translation exercise? Do you understand computer technology? Consider translating the text at http://iran.sharearchy.com/. This is an important post because it provides instructions for how people can set up their own proxy server so that Iranian bloggers can blog more safely. Your translation could help recruit more people to set up proxy servers. But please only do this one if you understand computers well enough to do a competent technical translation. There is no point in translating these instructions if the end user will still be unable to understand how to set up a proxy server! Also bear in mind that it is a very long post. In addition to instructions for setting up a proxy server, it also has other ideas for how to mobilize support for freedom of speech in Iran.

Ready to volunteer to do a translation? Please say so in the comments area below—and then please follow through with your translation as quickly as possible! If you post a translation at your own blog site or web site please post the link in the comments area below.

Can’t translate? Please talk with your bi-lingual friends and see if you can recruit someone to help!

TRANSLATIONS COMPLETED SO FAR
Translation of “Simple Ways to Help Iranian Free Speech” now available en Français“! French translations still needed for http://iran.sharearchy.com/

Translation of “Simple Ways to Help Iranian Free Speech” now available en Español. The same translator is working on a Spanish translation for the “boing boing” post (that lists a few more simple ways to help). Someone is still needed to do a (more ambitious!) Spanish translation for the http://iran.sharearchy.com/ post explaining how to set up proxy servers for Iranian bloggers. You can help publicize the French version by tweeting this tweet:
Moyens simples pour aider les Iraniens la liberté d’expression: http://is.gd/14SL6 #IranElection #gr88 Pls RT
And you can help publicize the German version with this tweet: Einfache Methoden, der Meinungsfreiheit im Iran zu helfen: http://is.gd/15fiS #IranElection #gr88 Pls RT
You also can help “Digg” the French translation at http://is.gd/14XFP and the Spanish translation at http://is.gd/14Xl8.

The “Boing boing” post has now been translated to Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Turkish, all athttp://ds522.livejournal.com/12843.html . Corrections still wanted for Japanese version.

There also are separate pages for Türkçe, francais and Português. Translations are still needed in Turkish, Portuguese, and Japanese for http://is.gd/13U0V and the more ambitious (but very important) post at http://iran.sharearchy.com/.

At some point I might do a separate blog post to link to all the translations. If so, I will point to where it is from here.

PLEASE MONITOR both the comments area below this post AND ALSO the comments area at the simple ways to help post before starting on your own translation. Please try to avoid duplication, unless you think you can do a better quality translation than an existing one. Thanks! Bear in mind that I only have very limited hours in the day in which I am actively on -line … if you think you can stay on line to update links as relevant more hours than I can (or at least different hours from me) let me know, maybe I can give you some limited authorship access to my blog or something so you can help manage all these translations!

I am neutral on the Iranian election. But I am very pro freedom of speech. Whether we agree or disagree with any given Iranian citizen, they ought to have the right to express their views. Here are simple ways you can help them defeat attempts at censorship in Iran:

1. Do you twitter? Change your twitter location to any city in Iran. If all of us are Iranians then it is a little harder for government censors to track down Iranian tweeters. (See list of Iranian cities at http://is.gd/13UCt.) Some people say you should also change your time zone to Tehran time, which is 3.5 hours past GMT (GMT +3:30). Other people say the time zone is irrelevant. Decide for yourself.

2. Read a list of a few more simple ideas for how you can help at http://is.gd/13TK4 (This is the “BoingBoing” post for those of you who have been around enough to see it already. Also read 6 ways the Western World Can Support Iranian Activists at http://is.gd/18jZ9. (Those of you looking for more ambitious ideas for how to be involved, read #4 and #5 below.)

3. Finished with #1 and #2 above? Recruit others to help too. Spread the word. Here are a few ways you can do this:

• Tweet this phrase:

  Simple ways to help Iranian free speech: http://is.gd/13U0V #IranElection #gr88 Pls RT

• Also consider copy/pasting this announcement into your blog or facebook page so more people will see it. Or simply link to its original home at http://is.gd/13U0V. (If you copy/paste, please copy the text from its original home to ensure that you have any updated URLs or other information.)
• Also, consider voting for this blog post (http://is.gd/13U0V) at one or more of the following: http://www.stumbleupon.com/, http://www.reddit.com/; http://is.gd/13WVR (digg.com) That will help more people find it.

4. Looking for more ideas how to help? Consult http://iran.sharearchy.com/. This provides instructions on how you can set up your own proxy server to help Iranians blog more safely (easier than you might think, though with certain caveats which you will need to read at the link). It also has more tips for how to participate in global dialogue and mobilize support in a way that protects the safety of Iranian bloggers and tweeters.

But before you pass along information about your proxy server, make sure it is running correctly. Many proxy servers don’t help because they aren’t configured correctly. Learn more about potential problems and how to fix them at http://is.gd/193F8. And test your proxy at http://is.gd/18Mlj.

5. Are you bilingual? Please consider providing translation assistance so that people all around the world can learn about ideas for how to support free speech no matter what language they communicate in. For more details, go to http://is.gd/14PMh.

6. Want to follow the “tweets” about Iran? At twitter.com, do a search for #IranElection or #gr88 These are the two official hash tags used by Iranian bloggers themselves. (Hash tags are used to help find tweets on specific topics). As the “boing boing” post says, do be on guard. Some tweets are very legitimate, but others are rumors, speculation, or even outright disinformation. ]]> http://reunifygally.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/help-iran/feed/ 62 andreashettle http://reunifygally.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/support-deaf-rights-support-the-community-choice-act/ http://reunifygally.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/support-deaf-rights-support-the-community-choice-act/#comments Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:33:57 +0000 Andrea Shettle, MSW http://reunifygally.wordpress.com/?p=371 ]]>

What’s the Community Choice Act?
This legislation would give people with disabilities to live in real homes in the community with the appropriate supports they need to make their own choices about how they live and who comes into their home to give them the care they need. Today, too many people who could be living in real homes are, instead, locked up in nursing homes. Decisions about when they wake up, go to bed, eat their meals, watch TV, read a book, and plan the rest of their daily routine are made for them every single day.

These are the “good” nursing homes, for people who have family that visit them regularly enough to “keep the staff on their toes.” The “bad” nursing homes involve outright abuse and neglect. Even in “good” nursing homes, if there are no family members or loved ones to keep an eye on things and ask questions, then staff may not work as hard to take proper care of them.

Why is This a Deaf Rights Issue?
Deaf people, too, are among the people who may need assistance with their daily personal care needs. But most nursing homes have very few staff who can communicate competently with them, in sign language or any other manner. If Deaf people who need assistance with care needs could live at home and choose their own support staff then they could make sure to hire only people they can communicate with. Read this essay by Amber Stock for more information at http://www.adapt.org/freeourpeople/cca09/blog01.htm

Then learn about the protest that is happening RIGHT NOW at the White House to remind Obama to obey his promise to pass the Community Choice Act:

Thanks to Crip Chick for alerting me, via her twitterfeed, how to follow the current ADAPT protests supporting the Community Choice Act.
