RADICAL PRO-CHOICE CHEER & NOISE BLOC

--please circulate, post and distribute widely--

~~~ RADICAL PRO-CHOICE CHEER & NOISE BLOC ~~~

APRIL 25TH, 9:00AM
STANTON PARK, NORTH EAST WASHINGTON DC
-----------------------------------------------
WHO:
the radical cheerleaders of DC and YOU! this action is open to EVERYONE!

WHAT:
in response to the liberal and reformist action plan of the March for
Women's lives, the radical cheerleaders of DC have called for a radical
pro-choice cheer/noise bloc. we will assemble, eat some yummy free
breakfast, and have a feeder march from Stanton park, in Northeast DC, to
the national mall where we will join in solidarity with over 1,000,000
other pro-choice supporters. when we reach the mall, we will join the
main march and show them what radicals can shake!

WHY:
because abortion access and women's autonomy is under attack. because
these problems cannot be solved in the courts, in a voting booth, or
through your local member of congress. because the recent signing of the
Unborn Victims of Violence Act and the Partial Birth Abortion Ban, has
confirmed our suspicions....there's a fucking war on!

we will meet this challenge by showing our support for abortion access and
women's autonomy without turning to the State for permission. we know
that true liberation cannot be won by asking permission from the police to
dissent. while we fully support the March for Women's Lives, we want to
show our politics in the streets! so, while they have their rally and
promote electoral politics as the key to emancipation, we'll have our
march. then both marches will join at the mall and we’ll show our
solidarity and strength together.

WHEN & WHERE:
april 25th, 2004. we will meet at Stanton park at 9:00am (NOTE THE TIME
CHANGE) and begin serving breakfast. from 9:00 to 10:30 we will serve
food and people can hang out, listen to some live music, and get ready to
move. by 11:00 we're going to begin marching towards the national mall,
and by 12:00 we should reach the main rally/march. from there we will
join the main march with over 1,000,000 people.

we will meet at Stanton park at 9:00am. Stanton park is located on C st.
NE between 6th st. NE and 4th st. NE. the closest metro's are eastern
market or union station. check out the DC metro website for more

Cinema (per la) Kanalla: Metropolis

Passi de la pel·lícula: Metropolis (1927)

Any 2026. Les màquines ja no treballen per les persones, sinó que aquestes es sotmeten a elles. Un món on les persones són una massa gris de treballadores sense vida ni emoció. A la part superior de la ciutat viuen els privilegiats, una casta de poderosos que viuen a costa de tota una societat obrera, gairebé esclava, que viu en els subterranis.
En aquest context, el fill d'un poderòs coneixerà una noia del submón, que el portarà als inferns de Metropolis i allí intentaran acabar amb aquest.
Metropolis és un clar exemple de l'art de representació visual que constituia l'essència del cinema mut.

Documental sobre la captura y muerte del Che Guevara.

LISTA DE ESPERA
Juan Carlos Tabío. 2000 (105 min.)
Vladimir Cruz, Jorge Perugorria, Alina Rodriguez...

Una destartalada estación de autobuses en medio de Cuba. Cada vez más gente esperanto y todas las "guaguas" pasan llenas. Parece que la única solución es arreglar un viejo microbus. Ahí se empieza a ver claro de qué va cada uno de los viajeros; y hay de todo. Los protagonistas tendrán que posicionarse ante la nueva situación , también en el terreno personal.
Es como una "road-movie" pero sin moverse del sitio. Comedia amable, con toques románticos y bastante rollo costumbrista cubano. Sol, conversación, inventiva, algún flechazo y sobre todo nada de prisa.

Women in Black - Los Gatos

Women in Black

The Women in Black stand in silent vigil to protest war, rape as a tool of war, ethnic cleansing and human rights abuses all over the world. We are silient because mere words cannot express the tragedy that wars and hatred bring. We refuse to add to the cacophony of empty statements that are spoken with the best intentions yet may be erased of unheard under a passing ambulance or the wound of a bomb exploding nearby.

Our silence is visible. We invite women and men to stand with us, reflect about themselves and womenwho have been raped, tortured or killed in concentration camps, women who have disappeared, whose loved ones have disappeared or have been killed, whose homes have been demolished. We wear black as a symbol to mourn for all victims of war, to mourn the destruction of people, nnature and the fabric of life.

We stand the last Sunday of every month at the Farmer's Market in Los Gatos from 10am to noon.

###

Background

Women in Black is an international peace network. Women in Black is not an organization, but a means of mobilization and a formula for action. Women in Black vigils were started in Israel in 1988 by women protesting against Israel's Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Women in Black has developed in the United States, England, Italy, Spain, Azerbaijan and in FR Yugoslavia, where women in Belgrade have stood in weekly vigils since 1991 to protest war and the Serbian regime's policies of nationalist aggression. Women in Black New York have been standing in solidarity with the women of Belgrade since 1993.

Pioneer Valley Vigil for Peace and Justice

The Sunday vigil was begun by local "Parents and Grandparents for Peace" on July 14, 1979, under the street-wide banner: "TOWARD GLOBAL NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT AND A VERIFIABLE US-USSR MORATORIUM ON NUCLEAR TESTING." The vigil has met every Sunday since, from 12 noon to 1 p.m., barring a couple of impossible blizzards. It has passed out thousands of leaflets on a great variety of issues under the slogan, "If You Want Peace, Work for Justice," and participants have varied from a dozen or so die-hard activists to fifty and more during the Gulf War.
