Correction for the 21st- The Speaker Presentation will be
rescheduled for a later date and instead, there will be a Croatan Earth
First! Movie Night with a Film Screening at 7pm, of "Just Do It: A Tale
of Modern Day Outlaws"See Trailer Here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zavTd31qxho Just Do It lifts the lid on
climate activism and the daring troublemakers who have crossed the line
to become modern-day outlaws. Documented over a year, Emily James' film
follows these activists as they blockade factories, attack coal power
stations and glue themselves to the trading floors of international
banks despite the very real threat of arrest.

16TH- REALLY REALLY FREE PUNK SHOW AT 9PM! Featuring The Hissy Fits and

though we would like to ask all show-goers that they be mindful of store
products and not to mosh directly into shelves, not to bring open

AT 7PM! DEEP GREEN RESISTANCE ROAD SHOW!
>> 
>> Do you see the dire
nature of the current environmental predicament? Do you feel the
crushing imperative to alter the destructive course of industrial
civilization before it's too late? 
>> Deep Green Resistance presents A
Culture of Resistance Roadshow. The Roadshow features a program put on
by a traveling group of activists from the environmental and social
justice organization Deep Green Resistance (DGR). DGR recognizes that
the current structure of society--industrial civilization--is
fundamentally unsustainable, and that no degree of small-scale remedial
actions will stop the systematic destruction of the natural world. The
Roadshow workshop will cover the inability of current efforts to truly
address the fundamental contradictions of our modern struggles, and
present concrete steps to an equitable, thriving future. This program is
intended as a practical guide to effective activism, and will leave
attendees feeling empowered to shift the course of history at this most
critical juncture. There will be music, art, and informative
presentations that will give activists the tools they need to make a
difference in this struggle. 
>> Join us in saying "No more ineffective
activism!" 
>> 
>> The June 21st event is actually a Speaker
Presentation of about 20 people from The OC Hope Project who want to
share their first-person experiences and take part in a
moderated/audience Q & A. The speakers involved in this are part of an
ongoing initiative to give voice to marginalized/misrepresented people
in our community.
