Vegan Appetizers

This is one in a series of appetizer-making skillshares. Each time, one person will bring a recipe and ingredients, and we will spend the next two hours making and eating amazing hors d'oeuvres. This time, we will be making some things to be decided. Please try to bring $1-3 to cover food costs, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. The coordinator of this class is Marc.

OLEODUTO AMAZÔNICO: CONTAMINAÇÃO E POBREZA

No ano de 2001 começou a construção do oleoduto de petróleo bruto no
Equador. Completo este oleoduto duplicará a quantidade de óleo que pode ser
extraida da bacia amazonica, destruindo areas protegidas de florestas
tropicais e povos indígenas.

Este documentário é um testemunho da realidade de 30 anos de exploração
petroleira no Equador e convida ao povo ao redor do mundo a opor-se a
destruição da natureza, cultura e soberania nacional por parte da voracidade
das corporações transnacionais e do sistema financeiro internacional."

The Illegal Art Symposium

Multimedia Presentation followed by Anarchist Guerrilla Art

Featuring the renegade artist and yoga master Mark Dixon, author of How to Turn an Bicycle into a Record Player creator of The Sub-Sub-Sub Contra Bass Blaster...with help from his faithful anarchist provocateurs.
Everyone interested in Guerilla art and the destruction of Western Civilization in general welcome.

"The creation of art is by nature revolutionary, since art exists only in contrast with the drudgery of everyday life. Yet it is precisely because of wage-slavery that capitalism exists, and any challenge to these conventions is deemed illegal by the powers that be.
So, all art is illegal, and all that is illegal is art. Let us have pity on both the uncreative artist who ends up designing repetitive advertisements featuring scantily clad women and the equally uncreative criminal who ends up in jail for a botched robbery of their local supermarket. Both lack the daring of the true artist to go beyond the boundaries of both the artistic and the illegal, and so elevates their illegal action beyond petty criminality and trivial design to true art."

Documentary Film - Matrix of Evil By Alex Jones

Some of the best minds in the country, coming from different sectors of the political spectrum combine in this film to expose an intricate web of deceitful wickness controlling America today.

Matrix of Evil contains footage from speeches and conversations with Alex Jones, Congressman Ron Paul, Colonel Craig Roberts, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and Frank Morales which cover and include:

-How the private banks control the military-industrial complex

-Expert analyses of the USA Patriot Act and the latest police state developments

-Globalist financial policies pushing America and the world into depression

-How the neoconservative movement controlling the Bush administration is nothing more than a trojan horse for a big government agenda of ivory tower social engineers

-The latest revelations concerning cashless society control grid, satellite tracking, cellphone tracking, DARPA surveillance, the end of Posse Comitatus, the federalization of local police and governments and much more..

-Government-sponsored terrorism, gun control, political assasinations, Sept. 11th coverup

Most importantly, Matrix of Evil chock-full of solutions. All of the dynamic people interviewed for this film agreed that there is a massive awakening taking place in America to the criminal activities of the global elite.

Ride of Silence

Please join the Ride of Silence this Wednesday evening at 7pm, in various locations across the country in honor of cyclists who have lost their life while riding. What follows is info on how to participate and where to join us if you are in the Los Angeles area.
> We hope you can join one of these important rides this Wednesday evening, if not ours, then somebody's (or 0rganize your own if you don't live near an existing Ride of Silence).
>
> * Join cyclists nationwide in a silent slow-paced ride (max. 12 mph) in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on America's public roadways.
>
> Why?
> To HONOR those who have been injured or killed
> To RAISE AWARENESS that we are here
> To ask that we all SHARE THE ROAD
>
> * THE RIDE OF SILENCE WILL NOT BE QUIET
> On May 19, the Ride of Silence will roll across the country at 7 PM,
> beginning in the Eastern Time Zone and concluding in the Pacific
> Time Zone. In more than 35 cities in the U.S. and Canada, cyclists
> will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who
> have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways.
> Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with
> motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights,
> and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
>
> * Chris Phelan organized the first Ride Of Silence in Dallas last May
> after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was hit by the mirror of a
> passing bus and was killed.
>
> * The Ride Of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no
> faster than 12 mph and remain silent during the ride. There is no
> brochure, no sponsors, no registration fees and no t-shirt. The
> ride, which is being held during Bike Safety month, aims to raise
> the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists
> have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance
> to show respect for those who have been killed or injured.

Street Performer Weekly Gig with SAFE

SAFE (Society for Artistic Freedom and Expression) will have regular weekly Sing Outs on the Sidewalk in front of New Leaf Market 6pm every Wednesday evening.

SAFE calls for the restoration of the Voluntary Street Performers Guidelines and the end to onerous restrictions on peformers downtown.

One local Downtown Ordinance dictates the 10' forbidden zones limiting performers to less than 20% of downtown sidewalks. Another literally excludes them from narrower sidewalks in other business districts. Another is the "Move Along Law" which mandates criminal penalties for not "moving along" every hour.

Bring your instrument or just your ears. Bring a friend.

Hot soup by Joe Schultz.

Take back our public spaces from some creeping privatization, favored by a segment of the merchants.

We also share information on recent police and "host" harassment of performers.

Location:
In front of downtown New Leaf Market at Pacific and Lincoln Aves. between the Cafe Campesino and Alfresco's kiosks.

Cost: Free, but bring quarters and scraps to throw to performers!
