Sep 10 2010 - 8:00pm

What is youth and how do adults take ownership of of it? What have people
done to resist adults' efforts to colonize young peoples cultures and
values? What can you do? Brilliant Local Youth explores these questions
and others.

Croatan Earth First Presents: Green (the film)

Sep 11 2010 - 7:00pm
Sep 11 2010 - 9:30pm

An extraordinary film that through the agony of an orangutan succeeds in showing the drama of deforestation and the extinction of forests. Every spasm of Green’s pain is a cry against the destruction that a man is doing to nature. Through the story the author manages to oppose the natural system and the richness of biodiversity with the unsustainable agricultural system. A touching, emotional, worrisome but bright and objective film outlines the dreadful situation of the contemporary society.

Political Prisoners' Letter Writing Night

Sep 15 2010 - 7:00pm
Sep 15 2010 - 8:00pm

Come send a birthday card to these political prisoners. It's an easy way to help remind these freedom fighters that they aren't forgotten. We'll be writing to prisoners like:

Steve Murphy, courageous eco-warrior

Sekou Kambui, incredible civil rights and black panther activist

Leonard Peltier, Native writer and warrior

Sean Swain, Indigenous anarchist and former union organizer

and Brian McCarvill, anarchist and prison censorship opponent.
