WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.
Internationalist Books and Community Center relies on your support to  
continue operating a non-profit community safe space for Chapel Hill,  
Carrboro, UNC, and beyond.
Please think about actively supporting Internationalist Books. Please  
make sure your membership is up-to-date (to renew, visit  
internationalistbooks.org click on ?Membership? on the sidebar). Tell  
your neighbors, family, and friends. Convince them to be members (or  
to renew their membership) and supporters. As you know,  
Internationalist Books is a good cause, and it's worth being active  
about. So, be extra loud in your support of Internationalist Books!
Independent bookshops, especially those who don't necessarily attempt  
to directly mirror Barnes & Noble's business model, are facing a tough  
fight. Internationalist Books has survived that battle for 27 years  
now, and I don't doubt that we can make it last at least another 27.  
Because it's made up of all of your support, both monetarily and  
emotionally, Internationalist Books is a great place to be. Let's keep  
it up! Thank you very much.

WE HAVE SOME GREAT UPCOMING EVENTS!

BEYOND RESISTANCE: EVERYTHING!
A discussion with our neighbors at El Kilombo in Durham
Monday, 31 March @ 6pm
After two years of the Other Campaign in Mexico, and at a significant  
electoral, economic, and political moment in the US, this tour also  
coincides with the launching of El Kilombo's new press, PaperBoat  
Press, and its first publication entitled Beyond Resistance:  
Everything, a momentous interview with Subcomandante Marcos of the  
Zapatista movement, created and conducted by El Kilombo, in which he  
discusses Zapatismo in the context of the North American continent,  
alliances with and the struggle of people of color in the US, and the  
centrality and importance of the migrant political movement in the  
current globalized political moment.
This event will look to the Zapatista social movement in Mexico and  
their national initiative taking form in the Other Campaign as an  
example of what politics from below looks like, both in Zapatista  
communities and at the national level, as well as at the level of the  
"intergalactic" the Zapatistas have proposed for creating a global  
network. Drawing from the Zapatista model and on historical examples  
and contemporary movements in the United States, what might a movement  
from below look like in the US?
El Kilombo is home to a progressive bilingual bookstore and multiple  
community programs involving student, working class, migrant and  
people of color communities Come join us in a discussion of the book  
and Zapatismo in North Carolina and beyond!

GREENBRIDGE BOOK REVIEW
This month?s COLORLINES, a newsmagazine on race and politics, is an  
especially well timed edition for the current political crisis on the  
border of Chapel Hill/Carrboro. Framing its lead article around the  
question of "who gains from the green economy", it examines several  
issues in US green politics that have forced people of color into  
unemployment, displacement, and other marginalized.
Although Greenbridge claims to be a beacon of green living in Chapel  
Hill ? and compared to other development projects, it is an  
extraordinarily well intentioned project ? it provides more than a  
theoretical threat to the members of the surrounding low-income  
community. Pre-Greenbridge gentrification has already split the once  
vibrant community into microsegements. Most low-income families have  
been forced to move to the low-income housing on Rogers Road in north  
Chapel Hill...exactly where the town has been shoveling its literal  
trash and waste, not just its marginalized citizens. In the face of  
Green Development, then, a historically African American community  
will continue to be pushed to one of the most eco-un-safe parts of town.
