COMMUNITY EVENTS THIS WEEK

SANITATION 2 STRATEGY MEETING:Tuesday March 22 at 8pm. On Tuesday the 22nd we 
will be meeting at Al McSurely's house to strategize for the next Town 
Council meeting on the 28th, to consolidate our demands
and goals for the Sanitation 2 campaign, and to further discuss how we can 
work together with those struggling against the gentrification of Northside. 

The Council will be discussing the development plansfor downtown Chapel Hill 
on the 28th, providing us an opportunity to emphasize the connections between 
gentrification and the attacks on workers' rights. Folks from SOS (Sustaining 
OurSelves) and the Jackson Center will be present so we can better strategize 
on how we can work together for a mutually beneficial partnership.

QUEER MOVIE NIGHT: "Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin," Thu Mar 24 
@ 7pm\

A master strategist and tireless activist, Bayard Rustin is best remembered 
as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest 
nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. He brought Gandhi?s 
protest techniques to the American civil rights movement, and helped mold 
Martin Luther King, Jr. into an international symbol of peace and 
nonviolence. 

Despite these achievements, Rustin was silenced, threatened, arrested, 
beaten, imprisoned and fired from important leadership positions, largely 
because he was an openly gay man in a fiercely homophobic era. Five years in 
the making and the winner of numerous awards, BROTHER OUTSIDER presents a 
feature-length documentary portrait, focusing on Rustin?s activism for peace, 
racial equality, economic justice and human rights.
LIVE MUSIC: PJB with Subscape Annex, Fri Mar 25 @ 7pm

OTHER MARCH EVENTS

MEMBER PICK MOVIE NIGHT: "Persepolis," Thu Mar 31 @ 7pm

A fascinating and wholly unexpected take on Iran?s Islamic revolution 
beginning in the 1970s, Persepolis is an enthralling, animated feature about 
a spirited young woman who spends her life trying to deal with the 
consequences of her nation?s history.  

Based on an autobiographical comic book by Marjane Satrapi, the story 
concerns Marji, whose natural fire and precociousness are slowly dampened by 
the rise of religious extremists. Marji grieves over the imprisonment and 
execution of a beloved uncle, then begrudgingly adapts to ever-tightening 
rules about dress, social mores, education for women, and expectations about 
marriage and divorce. Along the way, her grandmother and mother help keep 
Marji grounded during her rebellious teens and encourage her to find life 
beyond Iran?s borders, a decision that proves both a blessing and curse.  

A unique window onto a crucial chapter of 20th century history, Persepolis is 
graphically engaging with its black-and-white, bold lines and feeling of 
repressed energy, fit to burst. The emotional content is so strong that after 
awhile, one almost forgets the film is a cartoon.SOME APRIL EVENTS
