STOP WALMART

An effort is underway to stop Walmart from opening in Chatham County. Walmart is renowned for low wages, failing to pay workers overtime, driving local businesses out by selling products below cost, sexism, and promoting the censorship of music and magazines. Internationalist will be stocking bumper stickers, books, and t-shirts for those who want to express their opposition to the behemoth. For more info about how to stop Walmart, contact Mark Barroso at 919-933-1461; mbarroso AT mindspring.com .

END OF SUBURBIA FILM SHOWING, WEDNESDAY AUG 17th, 7pm

Internationalist will be showing "The End of Suburbia" on Wednesday August 17 at 7pm at the store. "The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. World Oil Peak and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels are upon us now, some scientists and policy makers argue in this documentary.

The consequences of inaction in the face of this global crisis are enormous. What does Oil Peak mean for North America? As energy prices skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream? Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow? And what can be done NOW, individually and collectively, to avoid The End of Suburbia ?"

SEPTEMBER 24 NATIONAL ANTI-WAR DEMONSTRATION

Save the date--September 24th there will be a large anti-war demonstration in Washington DC. Internationalist will be a center for information about busses to the demonstration and carpools for people who want to stay for the lobbying day/civil disobedience on Monday.
