Committee, and PRESENTE!

BACKGROUND

PRESENTE! is a poetry and theatre collective that for the past three years
has been conducting artistic performances calling attention to the plight of
Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War held within the borders of the
United States. Many of these prisoners have been incarcerated for waging
struggle against the U.S. Government's colonialist and racist policies here
and abroad.

They are leaders and combatants for Puerto Rican Independence,
Native American rights, Black Liberation; some are North American anti
imperialists who interfered with their government's ability to wage war
around the world. Some are of Arab and Muslim backgrounds, recent targets
of "Homeland Security's" policies of racial profiling and disappearances,
which are implemented to silence the most critical voices of protest against
colonialism and genocide in the Middle East.

Many of these prisoners have been handed down sentences which amount to life
imprisonment -- sentences that are a great deal more severe than what is
often imposed on child molesters, rapists, and racists who engage in hate
crimes. Some, like the Arab and Muslim detainees have been subject to
indefinite incarceration, without charges, the benefit of counsel, or access
to their loved ones. Others, like Mumia Abu Jamal, are on death row.

The responses of those who have seen our performances have been very
positive. We have come to the conclusion however that our efforts are
wasted if they do not yield the result of active and massive organizing to
seek these prisoners' release from captivity.

It is in the interest of transforming our artistic work into concrete action
that would be useful in securing these prisoners' release, that we have organized this Set the Captives Free Conference in Boston. We hope
to bring together people from the communities the prisoners represent, as
well as organizers and activists. Our goal is to acquaint those who still
don't know of them with their history and plight, and develop strategies
that will lead to their long overdue exit from prison.

Escola de Primavera del Masnou (temes: Pla de Mobilitat i la CUP a Europa)

Escola de Primavera

17 d’abril del 2004 a Can Malet (2a Planta), El Masnou





L'Escola de Primavera que se celebra al Masnou el proper dia 17 d’abril, vol ser un punt de trobada de diferents opinions per tal de construir una societat amb més consciència d'ella mateixa i de les seves virtuts i mancances. Tot i que el títol de l'acte anterior celebrat al novembre del 2003 fou "Taula Rodona: Escola de tardor" aquest ha estat escurçat a Escola de Primavera encara que segueix mantenint la voluntat de transmetre tarannà de diàleg entre tots els participants. El centre d’interès de la primera part de l’acte serà el pla de mobilitat per a la vila. Tot i que ja es van establir les línies base a la passada edició, aquesta vegada es presentarà una proposta concreta que entre tots acabarem d’establir i fer nostra; contemplant les necessitats reals dels masnovins i masnovines i no de l’interès especulatiu d’algú. Per a poder ser un pla de referència és important que tothom exposi ses necessitats. Per acabar aquesta primera part es proposaran mecanismes per tal de dur-ho endavant.
El darrer punt de la tarda s’emmarcarà en el context de les eleccions europees i del paper de la CUP en elles. L’esquerra independentista catalana per primera vegada trenca el silenci en unes eleccions no municipals i es presenta a les eleccions europees sota el lema “ Sí als Països Catalans, No a aquesta Constitució Europea”.



Escola de Primavera:

18:00 El Masnou diu SÍ al Pla de Mobilitat

euskal herriko Gizate Foroko bilera

Kaixo lagunok, mezu honen bitartez gogoratu nahi dizuegu larunbata honetan, apirilak 17 Gizarte Foroko bilera dugula, Bilboko La Bolsan 9:30tan. Bileraren planteamendua, aurrez adostu genuen bezala, honakoa da:
1- Gai ardatz bakoitzaren asanblada: jaso diren proposamen guztiak kontutan hartuta gai ardatzaren egitaraua behin betikoa finkatzeko.
2. Aurreko tartea bete ondoren, gai ardatzetako arduradunak bilduko lirateke(hauetaz gain nahiko luketen guztiak, noski) gai ardatz jakin batean kokapen oso argia ez duten proposamenei konponbideak bilatzeko.

3. Ondoren, asanblada osoaren bilkura gai ardatz bakoitza nola geratu den ikusteko eta egitarau osoari oniritzia emateko.
4. Azkenik, II. Topaketa antolatzeko zereginen errepasoa.

Hauxe izango litzateke larunbateko bileraren mamia. Beraz, ondo izan eta larunbata arte.

Un saludo a todas, queríamos refrescar la memoria avisando de que este sábado 17 de abril en el Centro Cívico La Bolsa de Bilbo a partir de las 9:30 se va a celebrar la siguiente reunión del FSEH. El planteamiento de la reunión, tal y como se acordó en la última reunión, sería el siguiente:
1- Asamblea de cada eje temático: para a partir de las propuestas recibidas dar forma definitiva al programa de cada eje.
2- A continuación reunión de las responsables de ejes(más todas aquellas que esten animadas) para buscar soluciones a aquellas propuestas que no tengan un encaje claro en ninguno de los ejes.
3. Después, asamblea con todas las personas participantes para ratificar el programa definitivo de cada uno de los ejes acordados.
4. Por último, un repaso de todos los quehaceres pendientes para la organización del II. Encuentro.

Este sería en resumen el contenido de la reunión del sábado.
Pues nada, hasta el sábado y a seguir bien.

Santa Cruz Coordinating Committee for the September Project

This is an initial meeting to discuss plans for public events, centered around Santa Cruz County Libraries, for Patriot Day, 9/11/2004. We believe the most patriotic gesture citizens can make on this day is to come together in public places like local libraries. Through talks, roundtables, deliberations, and performances, citizens will participate collectively and think creatively about our country, our government, our community, and encourage and support the well-informed voice of the American citizenry.

This is a national project with the goal of instigating events in many of the 16,000 public libraries in the US.

The aim of The September Project is to create a day of engagement, a day of community, a day of democracy. Our goal is to foster a tradition for citizens around the world to recognize and give meaning to September 11th.
