"ANTI-CAPITALIST MOVEMENTS IN JAPAN AFTER THE

_The 3/11 earthquake and tsunami
in Japan exposed the life-threatening hazards of late capitalism. it
also revealed the surprising power of anti-capitalist movements in
Japan. Although completely hidden by the Western media, 2 Japanese
activists, Sabu Kohso and Go Hirasawa, will discuss the diversity of the
anti-capitalist movements in Japan after 3/11. Kohso and Hirasawa have
been personally involved in several of these movements and were on the
8-person organizing committee for the anti-G-8 protest in Japan in 2008.
They are on the editorial collective of the important leftist journal
VOL._

abortion service that flourished in the midwest in the late '60s and
early '70s during a time of illegal, and often deadly abortions._ 

_The
Spectrum Doula Collective is a central-NC based project that aims to

CROATAN EARTH
FIRST! MOVIE NIGHT "CALL OF LIFE: FACING THE MASS EXTINCTION" _THU JAN
19 7PM_ 

_All over the world species are becoming extinct at an
astonishing rate, from 1000 to 10,000 times faster than normal. The loss
of biodiversity has become so severe that scientists are calling it a
mass extinction event. __CALL OF LIFE: FACING THE MASS EXTINCTION is the
first feature documentary to investigate the growing threat to Earth's
life support systems from this unprecedented loss of biodiversity.
Through interviews with leading scientists, psychologists,
anthropologists, philosophers, and indigenous and religious leaders, the
film explores the causes, the scope, and the potential effects of the
mass extinction, but also looks beyond the immediate causes of the
crisis to consider how our cultural and economic systems, along with
deep-seated psychological and behavioral patterns, have allowed this
situation to develop, continue to reinforce it, and even determine our
response to it._
