• 3/31 JUSTICE NOW!: ORGANIZING IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES-

  Join us for an historic roundtable discussion on the new era of immigrant justice Organized by the NYU Immigrant Justice Collective*

  When: Saturday, March 31, 2007 12 - 3 PM
  Where: Judson Memorial Church's Assembly Hall, 239 Thompson St.

  Free and Open to the Public; Refreshments Provided.
  Wheelchair accessible; ASL translator available upon request; please RSVP below

  Justice Now!: Organizing Immigrant Communities is an open roundtable forum that will bring together cultural workers and activists from diverse movements-- including immigrant rights, labor rights, youth activism, and queer rights-- who are actively working to build new models for immigrant justice organizing. This roundtable will examine questions such as detention, deportation, profiling, borders, torture, and surveillance. We believe in using this space to highlight the intersectional, interstitial, and intervening issues within immigrant justice organizing that are often collapsed under the sometimes reductive banner of "immigrant rights." This roundtable discussion will be an opportunity to brainstorm collectively and share best practices and dynamic strategies that respond to the immigration crisis defining our political times.

• Howard Zinn's Marx in Soho- Saturday, July 14 8:00 PM PERFORMANCE Howard Zinn's Marx in Soho with Tony Palmieri as Karl Marx Directed by Michael J. Murnin Howard Zinn’s “Marx in Soho” portrays the return of Marx roughly a century after his death. Embedded in some secular afterlife where intellectuals, artists, and radicals are sent, Marx is given permission by the administrative committee to return to Soho London to have his say. But through a bureaucratic mix–up, he winds up in SoHo in New York. “By showing us Marx the man, Zinn poignantly humanizes him. By showing us Marx the theorist, Zinn gently educates us. And by bringing Marx into today’s era, Zinn cleverly and unmistakably argues the relevance of Marx’s ideas in our time.” — Backstage West “Whatever your leanings, it’s hard not to come out of this show

  It is time, once again, to put on your marching shoes, make your pro-peace signs and call a friend who also supports an end to war and occupation.

  On Saturday October 27th major anti-war demonstrations will take place in 11 cities in the US. New Yorkers will be doing our share during a 1:00pm march from 14th Street Union Square to Foley Square. The march will be followed by an information session at Foley Square where demonstrators can network with other peace organizations.

  One of the great smaller actions connected to this big march will feature a march by the Bergen Peace and Justice Coalition (the major peace group in Northern New Jersey) over the George Washington Bridge to link up with the Washington Heights Anti-war Network. I think it would be great if people from the North and South Bronx could join these groups and head down to the march together.

  So, if you are interested in participating in this demonstration drop me an email or give me a call at (718) 869-2279. This demo will be a great step forward for the peace movement nationally. Hopefully we can do our part locally.

  Oh, the march is fully permitted and the organizers, United for Peace and Justice, have a long history of safe and peaceful marches so it should be child friendly.

  Peace, Billy wawharton(at)yahoo.com
