WE ARE EVERYWHERE / IRAQ multimedia tour comes to Athens

We Are Everywhere: the irresistible rise of global anticapitalism was described by Canadian writer Naomi Klein as "...the first book to truly capture and embody the exuberant creativity and radical intellect of the protest movements." Two of the book's co-producers, author Jennifer Whitney and photojournalist Andrew Stern, are traveling throughout the US in order to present, not only the book, but also the results of their further research and investigation into international protest movements and their ties to the growing anti-war movement. Stern is just back from his second trip to Iraq, and will present hard-hitting images from the streets of Baghdad to accompany Whitney's analysis. The presentation is a multimedia performance comprised of several elements: a video highlighting the diversity of various threads of resistance around the world, an exhibition of beautiful photos and illustrative quotations from their book, a brief talk on the current situation in Iraq and the connections between the anti-war movements and the global anticapitalist movements covered in We Are Everywhere, and an open discussion with the audience.

Our tour schedule (see below) is still subject to change. If you would like to be on our mailing list (which will consist of tour updates only), can help out with publicity -- particularly flyering or getting us hooked up with pre-show radio interviews, or would like more information, please email us at everywhere (at) riseup.net Also, we're still looking to fill in some dates for the second half of the tour (US west coast), so let us know if you can help with that too. Hope to see you along the way.

Thanks so much!

All the best,

Forum: 20 Fórum: 20 AÑOS DO MST Y EZLN NA USP

Queridos compañeros de todo el mundo:

Nosotros, de comités de apoyo a la lucha Zapatista en el México y de los Sin-Tierra en Brasil, estamos haciendo un evento en homenaje a estas dos expresiones de lucha por sus 20 Años.

Se nos ocurrió la idea de hacermos, además de una edición del Mural de Taniperla y de la cópia del mural de Clemente Orozco - "Los zapatitas" - *un mural de cartas de comités de todo el mundo, de personas, gentes que simpatizan con los movimientos*. Son cartas cuyo contenido es de presentar algunas expresiones de simpatia por las dos luchas y por la iniciativa. Cuando decimos expresiones, estamos deciendo que nos gustaría recibir *unas palabras, dibujos, poesías, en fin, formas y códigos no necesariamente verbales, pero que vienen de la creatividad de todos y todas y principalmente del corazón para que todos y todas puedan ver que los movimientos no están sólos, que todos y todas estamos juntos y presentes* buscando aumentar las fuerzas; aunque haya distancia geográfica y algunas distancias sean inmensas, creemos que donde está uno, están todos y todas.

*¿Podemos esperar una señal de vuestra parte?*

Pues... estaremos esperando, con la certeza de que la fuerza de la palabra pueda aumentar la fuerza de los dos movimientos a tal punto que puedan ayudar a cambiar el mundo.

Muchas gracias

La comisión organizadora.

PS: Pedimos que pasen adelante el pedido para que todos y todas de cualquer edad, sexo y profesión puedan se comunicar con el evento a su modo.

Free Meal at L.I.N.K.

The purpose of L.I.N.K., the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen, is to provide a pleasant, safe place for the hungry or lonely to share a free, nutritious meal and the companionship of one another. We believe loneliness can be as painful as hunger, companionship as powerful as love. Anyone who desires a meal is served, no questions asked. Diners are treated as our invited guests. We do not provide counseling, but rather refer individuals to appropriate agencies when they ask for help. Our focus is on food and fellowship.

"Guerrilla Media in Action": Cascadia Media Collective Film Tour

Santa Barbara Indymedia and KCSB 91.9 FM present...

The Cascadia Media Collective: "Guerrilla Media in Action"

We are excited to welcome Eugene, Oregon's Cascadia Media Collective to Santa Barbara this Thursday as they end their West Coast Tour promoting their latest film, "Guerrilla Media in Action." "Guerrilla Media in Action" isn't news and it isn't a movie. It's a radical look a the ways we live through a street-level lens. From the mines of Peabody Coal to the cornfields of Chiapas, through tear gas, rubber bullets and street battles, CMC uses video to reveal the global struggle for autonomy, environmental protection and a livable future. This 90 minute video will take you beyond reporting on important global events and provide you with an inside look at guerrilla media. The show will feature video from Columbus Day Denver, WTO Cancun, FTAA Quebec, Miami and much more. You'll leave with a basic understanding of how and why guerrilla media is a vital part of the movement for social change.

Background info: For the last four years, CMC journalists have been covering local, national and international news from a street-level perspective. Our video has helped halt environmental destruction, been successfully used as evidence in court and inspired new activists to get involved with the movement against social and biological destruction. Our group was originally formed in response to state repression but has grown to be an important tool in community-based organizing. Our video projects include Guerrilla Video Primer, Umpqua:Oregon's Threatened Paradise, A Year in the Streets, and US Off the Planet. We also produce a print publication called the War Time News, countless zines and regular news segments for community television.

Check out our website at www.cascadiamedia.org for more on what we do and why we do it!

Women Workers in the Global Struggle for Labor Rights

You are invited to take part in a night of film about the involvement of women workers in the global struggle for labor rights.

On Thursday, April 29th, at 7pm in Stevenson Dining Hall at UCSC, the Reelwork Mayday Labor Film Festival will be showing three movies which were picked to highlight the position of women in globalization and its opposition.

Internationally-acclaimed filmmaker Marta Rodriguez, traveling all the way from Bogota, Colombia, will present her film, Love, Women and Flowers about women workers’ organizing within the global flower industry.

The other two films, Made in Thailand and the Hidden Face of Globalization, address the struggles of women organizing within sweatshops in Thailand and Bangladesh.

The Reelwork Mayday Labor Film Festival happens the week prior to every May Day and shows films about the ongoing struggles workers worldwide have gone through, and the victories they have won.

Films are shown this year from Sunday, April 25th to Saturday, May 1st, at a variety of public venues. All films are by voluntary donation and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

STOLEN ELECTIONS: TWO FILMS FOR THE TRUTH

Two films important for this election year. "Unprecedented: the 2000 Presidential election" and "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" an award winning eye witness account of the 2002 coup in Venezuela. One President stole an election and another democratically elected president is stolen from office. In both, democracy is under attack.

We are taking contributions to underwrite and make the films free.

- - -

"Unprecedented; the 2000 Election" directed by Joan Sekler and Richard Perez.

Just how did George Bush get 'elected'? How did more than 93.000 voters in Florida get purged from the voting rolls? You probably know some of the story, but as truth becomes a more rare and endangered species every day, take this opportunity to watch this masterfully made film and never forget that knowledge is power.
www.unprecedented.org

******HIGHLY RECOMMENDED******

2nd film of the night

"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"

awarded best international documentary

This is a stunning film. An Irish film crew just happened to be in Venezuela to make a film about President Hugo Chavez. They were in the Presidential Palace when the recent coup of 2002 took place. This is an unbelievable moment in film history, and more importantly, a powerful moment in the history of our own time that we may otherwise not have ever
known. Take this unequalled opportunity to witness the true events of this riveting story in the immediacy of the moments captured on film.
