hey, two quick announcements:


1) GOOD TV ALERT:

"Rollover: The Hidden History of the SUV"
Thurs. evening, Feb. 26
PBS (check local listings)

An in-depth report on SUVs. Was the rise of the SUV encouraged by Washington regulators with close ties to the industry? And did they overlook serious safety flaws that continue to threaten drivers today? [ Answer: Yes ]



2) CELEBRATE NATIONAL BOYCOTT STARBUCKS WEEK

February 23 through March 1 -- Nationally

New Yorkers: Join Reverend Billy's Rally
--> Where: Astor Place, Manhattan, in front of the largest Starbucks in NYC
--> When: Sat., February 23, 2 pm, lasts about an hour

During boycott week, hundreds of performances will be staged in Starbucks throughout New York. Unlike your typical demonstrations, these Starbucks actions are invisible. Actors pose as customers and their antics are minutes long. At the conclusion of each play information sheets are distributed throughout the host café.

You can create your own play or download one of our six comic sketches on REVBILLY.COM. The six Starbucks issues are:

* Use of prison labor during peak sales periods
* Failure to market Fair Trade coffee
* Use of genetically altered dairy products
* Aggressive real estate tactics that oust independent businesses
* Unionbusting and use of plantation labor outside the US
* Encouragement of monoculture coffee farms drenched with pesticides


Hope to see you there,
carrie
