I
don't believe the accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers.
It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood
and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at.

The
Sistahood* began with a couple of individuals who just wanted to make a
difference in the world, and found it surprisingly hard to find ways of
getting involved.
The Sistahood and Brothahood websites are intended as a place where
people can share information, ideas, and feedback about what we as
individuals, as small groups, or as a collective can do to improve our
own lives, our local communities, and ultimately the world.
Hopefully the site will make information more accessible to those who
would like to make a difference but have no idea where to begin, and
provide a platform for those already making a difference to share their
experiences and get others involved.
Here, you'll be able to find out about some of the things you can do to
start getting involved in changing things. If you have a specific
community activity you've been wanting to get involved in, hopefully
you'll find some information here about how to get involved. And
more importantly, hopefully you'll find like-minded individuals who'd
like to get involved! Or maybe you'll even find someone who's
already doing it, and you can get involved in their project.
If
you discover that we don't have information on the things you want to know about, or there's a cause
you're passionate about which isn't mentioned on our site, please do
e-mail us at changetheworld@thesistahood.co.uk
and check out our 'change the world' pages. Please
also e-mail us at the same address if you would like us to consider adding
a link to your own website on the sistahood websites. We intend
to add new information regularly and only with peoples input can we
ensure we keep up to date with information about all the various things
we can be doing to improve our communities.
The forums are a great way to share information and feedback, test out
and develop ideas, get support for your initiatives and/or events, and
participate in our own Sistahood* ChangeTheWorld events, projects and
services. They're also a place where you can just have a joke and
a laugh, seek general advice, share experiences and discuss anything
else you want!
The Sistahood* is not here to judge, preach, or impose our views on
anyone. We're simply here to share information and ideas, and
help people who want to get involved to find accessible ways of doing
so.
Whilst the Sistahood may take an official position on a number of
issues, we welcome constructive debate and alternative views and
opinions, and are very much in favour of free speech.
However, where users of the site hold views or advocate actions or
behaviours which go against the core values of the Sistahood*, we
reserve the right to remove such content from our site and forums
unless it is relevant in the context of constructive debate.
Please also see our Terms and Conditions and Forum Rules.
We hope you'll enjoy using our website and forums, getting involved, and making a positive contribution.
In time, the Sistahood* will be launching a number of
community-based services, and more information on that will be posted
on the updates pages in the coming months.
