CAFTA- The Trojan Calf

**Please forward**

Dear friends,

Never thought international trade laws would make you laugh? Check this out:
www.quixote.org/calf

It's a biting, two-minute movie called "CAFTA -- The Trojan Calf." Its
message -- that the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) has been
presented to Central America as a gift, but like the Trojan Horse, it's
really a vehicle for American corporations to secretly invade new markets.
It's an important story that will keep you smiling, and hopefully inspire
you to action. (Make sure you watch for the kicker at the end!)

After watching the movie you can join with thousands of others in
rejecting CAFTA by signing a full-page ad to appear in the NY Times the
first of June. Congress may vote on the agreement as early as July.

We hope you like the movie, and we encourage you to pass it along to your
family and friends.

Iº Encontro do Movimento Posso Me Identificar

A reação da sociedade à violência institucionalizada e à ausência de direitos tem crescido no Rio de Janeiro. Destacam-se as mobilizações das comunidades das favelas e periferias, as mais atingidas pela violência, que atingiram um nível mais organizado a partir do ano passado, após 10 anos de sofrimento e resistência que se seguiram às chacinas da Candelária e Vigário Geral. Em particular, a mobilização da comunidade do Borel em protesto contra o assassinato por policiais de quatro jovens, estudantes e trabalhadores, em 16/04/2003. Também se estruturam melhor os movimentos e ações de familiares e vítimas de chacinas e arbitrariedades do estado, rompendo o isolamento e o medo a que são submetidos.

Como fruto desta luta surgiu o Movimento Posso me Identificar, reunindo comunidades, vítimas e familiares, movimentos sociais e de direitos humanos. Inspirado diretamente na luta do Borel, o Movimento organizou plenárias e discussões preliminares, elaborou propostas iniciais à sociedade e ao poder público. Numa demonstração de força e de maturidade já alcançada pela resistência comunitária à violência, realizamos a manifestação do último dia 16/04, que lembrou os assassinatos no Borel e todos os outros atos de violação de direitos que infelizmente marcam a atuação do poder público nas áreas pobres e marginalizadas do Rio de Janeiro.

Desde o início propusemos a construção de um movimento permanente, que não acabasse num ato nem se limitasse e organizar manifestações. Nosso objetivo é construir uma força social organizada capaz de mobilizar os setores marginalizados e violentados na luta por seus direitos e sua autodeterminação.

Neste sentido, estamos organizando nosso I Encontro, para o qual estamos convidando você, sua comunidade, seu grupo, sua instituição, seu movimento!

Estrutura do Encontro:

1) Abertura e Credenciamento

9:00 às 10:00 Credenciamento e entrega dos materiais aos participantes

9:30 às 11:00 Discussão em grupos
11:00 às 12:00 Plenária para discussão e deliberação
12:00 às 13:00 Almoço

3) Discussão: Ações do Movimento em relação às Vítimas (individuais e familiares) da Violência do Estado

4) Discussão: Ações do Movimento sobre o Poder Público, incluindo estratégia de participação e intervenção na Conferência Nacional de Direitos Humanos.

5) Discussão: Construção de Rede de Solidariedade e Apoio Jurídico à Resistência Comunitária contra a Violência, inclusive Atuação Internacional.

6) Discussão: Ações de Mobilização, Comunicação, Formação, Informação e Organização nas Comunidades.

13:00 às 15:00 Discussão em grupos sobre os pontos 3, 4, 5 e 6.
15:00 às 15:30 Café
15:30 às 17:30 Plenária para discussão e deliberação sobre os pontos 3, 4, 5 e 6.

Observações:
1) Os custos do Encontro serão cobertos por contribuições de instituições e pelo saldo financeiro do que arrecadamos para a manifestação de 16/04.

2) Solicitamos que cada comunidade que participe não inscreva mais de 10 (dez) participantes.

Kyoto March and Dinosaur Party

Call for international, environmental justice.

Meet:10.45 am Outside the Consulate General of the Russian Federation, 58 Melville Street (parallel to Shandwick Place)

11.45 am East end of Princes Street (by statue)

12 pm Dinosaur Party outside the American Consulate (3 Regent Terrace). Bring musical instruments (esp drums), dinosaurs and costumes.

Participants to include Mark Ballard, MSP

…In solidarity with protests in London, called by the Campaign against Climate Change on 3rd anniversary of USA rejecting Kyoto treaty.

The Kyoto March is an annual event that enables people to get together and onto the streets to sound the alarm about the accelerating deterioration of the global environment and in particular the huge threat posed by the catastrophic destabilisation of global climate. It is a chance to make a stand against those with the greatest power who are most to blame: currently George W Bush and his backers in the US fossil fuel industry, who sabotaged the world's efforts to deal with global climate change by rejecting the Kyoto treaty 3 years ago. Our event marks the anniversary of that greatest of environmental crimes.

Even Tony Blair has admitted that there is "no bigger long-term question facing the global community than the threat of climate change", though his actions have not reflected these fine words.

The Kyoto Treaty is a first step towards reining in global emissions of carbon dioxide, obligating countries to reduce their carbon emissions to 1990 levels. Kyoto has been ratified by 121 nations, but to take effect, it must be ratified by nations that account for 55% of developing countries’ carbon dioxide emissions. The USA, the world’s biggest CO2 polluter (at 36% of worldwide emissions), refused to sign up in 2001 (it's 'too expensive'!). Current signatories account for only 44% of emissions, and only Russian ratification can now make the treaty binding (if the US continues to refute it). One advisor to President Putin, Illarionov, is pressuring the Government to reject Kyoto, the Russian Foreign Ministry has the final say on May 20th. In a world in which the sole superpower refuses to accept or address climate change as the single largest risk facing our planet's future, Russia needs to fill the environmental leadership gap.

Dress code theme (if you fancy it!): Dinosaurs (to demonstrate Bush as fossil fool and humans as endangered species if we continue with current rates of environmental destruction), extinct /threatened species, Oil/Coal industry Dinosaurs, Bush/Cheney Dinosaurs, or of course just identify yourself as a member of a threatened species! Plus anything that shows Bush, Uncle Sam, Exxon fat-cats etc ...as climate/environmental villains.

CAFTA- The Trojan Calf

**Please forward**

Dear friends,

Never thought international trade laws would make you laugh? Check this out:
www.quixote.org/calf

It's a biting, two-minute movie called "CAFTA -- The Trojan Calf." Its
message -- that the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) has been
presented to Central America as a gift, but like the Trojan Horse, it's
really a vehicle for American corporations to secretly invade new markets.
It's an important story that will keep you smiling, and hopefully inspire
you to action. (Make sure you watch for the kicker at the end!)

After watching the movie you can join with thousands of others in
rejecting CAFTA by signing a full-page ad to appear in the NY Times the
first of June. Congress may vote on the agreement as early as July.

We hope you like the movie, and we encourage you to pass it along to your
family and friends.

Basic Street Medic Training, May 14-16, 2004 in Albany

Basic Street Medic Training, May 14-16, 2004
Albany, New York

This course is designed as a complete introduction to action medical
knowledge and skills. The completion of this course will prepare you to
serve as a street medic at political actions. Street medics also serve as
a source of health care information and resources within their
communities, and so the training is open to anyone who wishes to gain
greater first aid/medical knowledge to use in their lives and to share in
their community. We cover Basic Street First Aid (from treating bleeding
wounds to splinting sprains and breaks to calling 911 for emergencies),
Weather-Related Injuries, Street Operations Tactics, Initial Patient
Assessment, Psychological First Aid, Chemical Weapons Treatments and
Aftercare, and Stress Management and Treatment. We can also provide Skills
Evaluations for folks who want them.

You do not need to have any previous medical or first aid training in
order to attend this course.

What Information Will Be Covered in the Training?
Practical information on taking care of yourself and your friends if you
plan to attend protest events. While the focus will be on urban street
protests, much of the material may also be applicable to wilderness
situations and first aid needs in your community. This includes preparing
for actions, personal care, affinity group safety considerations,
weather-related hazards, detox and aftercare, and your questions.

Street Operations Tactics, including a presentation and discussion of
codes of conduct and ethics, team makeup and teamwork, calling for backup,
and dealing with police/EMS, how/when to move patients and how to conduct
triage.

Basic Street First Aid, including Initial Patient Assessment, treating
bleeding wounds, splinting sprains and breaks, calling 911 for
emergencies, and weather-related injuries.

Psychological First Aid. How to recognize and assist people with emotional
distress whether it results from physical injury, excessive stress, or
traumatic experience.

Chemical Weapons Treatments and Aftercare. Covers a review of current
chemical agents in use, a discussion of personal protection gear (gas
masks, respirators, etc), and a complete introduction to tear gas and
pepper spray decontamination and treatment protocols with demonstrations,
hands-on practice and role-plays.

Schedule
The tentative schedule for this training is as follows: Friday evening,
May 14 from 6-10 pm; Saturday, May 15 from 9 am to 7 pm; and Sunday, May
16 from 9 am to 7 pm. We encourage people to attend all of the training,
and we will give registration preference to people who can attend all of
the training sessions. We will provide specific information about the
training and various logistics to registered participants before the
training weekend.

Food and Housing
We hope to supply some vegan food for participants during the training. We
also encourage participants to bring extra (preferably vegan) food to
share if they can.

Housing during the training weekend is available on a
first-come-first-served basis. If you will need housing, please contact me
(dylan) as soon as possible. When you request housing for the training
weekend, please tell us about any allergies, dietary restrictions, or
other special needs you have so we can try to accommodate your requests.

Costs
We have a sliding scale fee from $0 to $100 for this training course, and
we welcome barter in place of money. We do not want financial restrictions
to keep anyone from taking this course. We anticipate that our cost per
trainee will be between $30 and $40, and we hope that donations from
participants will cover our costs.

A Message From Our Trainer
Hi there. My name is Eowyn, and I am thrilled to be one of the trainers
for the May street medic training in Albany, New York. I am writing this
so you know a bit about me and what to expect from the training. I am an
anarchist, vegan, happy and pissed-off-at-the-state-of-the-world kind of
person. I am also a street medic, wilderness first responder, budding
herbalist, and family physician working with poor people in Lawrence,
Massachusetts. I do street medic work because I want all people to feel
confident and cared for during demonstrations, and I hope to help people
have more autonomy and power in their efforts to be healthy. In addition
to the information we'll present, the Albany training will include lots of
interactive work, discussion and opportunities to develop specific,
concrete skills that we all use on the streets and in our communities. We
are also designing the training so it represents our philosophy as
activists—respecting and valuing everyone's knowledge and experiences,
promoting and creating an anti-authoritarian and anti-oppressive
movement, and having lots of fun while we learn and share together. If you
have any questions about the training, you can contact the other
organizers or email me at dreowyn-AT-yahoo.com. See you soon!

FSU Chamber Music Ensembles Benefit Concert

All proceeds will benefit Friends of Gypsy.

About Friends of Gypsy (FOG):

To help save the lives of feral cats (the wild offspring of abandoned or stray cats) in Leon County, we are humanely trapping these feral cats, and having them altered (neutered or spayed), tested, vaccinated, and micro-chipped. These cats are then returned to their colony, where there is a caretaker to feed and watch over them. This is called a TTVARM (trap, test, vaccinate, alter, release, and maintain) program.

Why We Do It:

TTVARM programs have been established all over the world as a humane response to cat overpopulation. However, many cities, counties, and states respond to feral cat colonies with euthanasia. In Leon County, feral cats may be euthanized immediately upon delivery to an animal shelter. We believe this response is unethical and inhumane. Feral cat colonies are the direct result of human irresponsibility, and it is our duty to do what we can to help save these cats.

It costs approximately $75 for each cat to be neutered, tested, vaccinated, and micro-chipped.
