Rally to support Cindy Sheehan! - Friday, Powell and Market, 5 PM
Emergency rally in support of Cindy Sheehan
 U.S. Troops Out of Iraq Now!  Friday, August 12 at 5 PM
Powell Street BART (Powell and Market Streets), San Francisco

Last week, Gold Star Families for Peace co-founder Cindy Sheehan traveled to
Crawford, Texas to pay a visit to George Bush at his vacation ranch. Cindy’s
son Casey was killed in action in Iraq on April 4th, 2004. Cindy is
currently camped on the side of a road a few miles from the ranch and plans
to stay until Bush "tells me why my son died in Iraq. I’ve got the whole
month of August off, and so does he." Cindy has been informed that on
Thursday, she and her companions will be arrested if they do not leave, as
they would reportedly be considered a "national security threat" as Rice and
Rumsfeld plan to visit the ranch on Friday.

Support Cindy! http://www.meetwithcindy.org
 


# 					  MEDIA    RELEASE
     Resisting Empire through Cooperative Solutions:
           Talks at the Sebastopol Community Center

Don Paul, one of the most acclaimed authors about the September, 11, 2001 'Attack on America', reads from his sweeping, new, book-length essay, To Prevent the Next " '911' " /  Abandoning the 'New World Order' ... , on Friday evening, August 12, at the Sebastopol Community Center. 

Mark Comings, a physicist once associated with We, the People in Oakland, California and with UC-Berkeley's Lawrence
Laboratory, will speak on solar power, wind power, and more
exotic sources of affordable, renewable energy. 

Don Paul's earlier books include " ' 9/11 ' "/ Facing Our Fascist State from 2002 ('This book is an incredibly courageous, revealing blockbuster'--Yuri Kochiyama) and two that he co-authored with www.wtc7.net-creator Jim Hoffman, 
" '9/11' " / Great Crimes, A Greater Cover-up from 2003 ('The booklet is the most concise, readable and credible piece I have read on the unanswered questions of 9/11'--Richard Heinberg)  and Waking Up from Our Nightmare from 2004 ('Don Paul and Jim Hoffman do the public a great service by graphically exposing some of the lies regarding the 9/11/01 crimes in New York City, and then proposing alternatives to the system that perpetrates such crimes and lies'--Kevin Danaher). He's also the author of four books of poems, a book of essays, and the novel Good Intentions. More information is available at 
http://www.wireonfire.com/donpaul
To Prevent the Next " '9/11' " ... surveys three years of frauds by the U. S. Government to justify or sustain wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It then traces more than 230 years of conspiracies by European financiers to defeat economic independence, democracy and racial justice in the U. S. It argues that the 'War on Terror' is yet another maneuver for a 'New World Order' that can only bring more of global bloodshed and repression. Finally, it calls on the public to resist threats of 'the next terrorist attack' (Dick Cheney) by engaging in cooperative solutions that are already working in this nation and around the world. 
  
What:  'Resisting Empire through Cooperative Solutions'
    Talks by Don Paul and Mark Comings, followed by Public Discussion
Where--Sebastopol Community Center, 290 Morris Street
When--Friday, August 12, 7:00-10:00 p.m.

How do we define public sex? Where are some good spots around the SF area? What if you get caught? (Caught by whom? What are your legal rights?) Are there additional issues (concerns or pleasures) for trannies and/or genderqueers? How do you negotiate with a stranger for sex in public? We'll also be sharing tips for making your public sex experience most enjoyable. 

screwup is for trannies, queers, and our friends. This event is open to all genders and will be held in Room #11A at the New College of California. Folks sometimes go out for coffee or food afterwards, so come prepared...

# Defend Women's Rights! 8/14/05 3:00-5:00pm Free, but donations are welcome.

 Bay Area Coalition for Our Reproductive Rights invites you to...

Defend Women's Rights! Sunday, August 14th at 3pm Women's Building, SF

Come to this planning meeting to get involved with
BACORR in a variety of activites to build the movement
and defend our rights, such as building a possible
rally and march regarding Roe v. Wade and the Supreme
Court, clinic defense to keep abortion safe and legal,
a women's rights conference in the fall, street
theatre actions and more.

There is an immediate urgency to defend women's
rights.  We need to build a movement with a strong
response to attacks on our rights--to
be at the abortion clinics to keep them open and safe;
to tell Congess that if they will not filibuster
right-wing nominations to the courts, we will on the
streets; to confront the right wherever they rear
their heads; to debate and discuss strategy and tactics
to move our struggle forward.

Some of the issues that make this meeting so important:

**John Roberts' confirmation to the Supreme Court
seems inevitable--many Democrats, including Sen. Diane
Feinstein, have said they will not filibuster, despite
the fact that he has continuously lobbied to overturn
Roe v. Wade.

**Conservatives are forcing Proposition 73, the
Parental Notification Initiative (PNI), that approximates
an invasive parental consent law, to be on the ballot in
either November or the early spring (if the Special
Election in November fails) in California.

**This past month, the Crusade for Life has felt
emboldened enough to travel the state of California
harassing women outside abortion clinics.  "Walk For
Life" plans to have another march in San Francisco
in January of 2006.

**Nearly 90% of counties in the US have no access to
abortion providers.  Access to any contraception at
all is under further attack: the Workplace Religious
Freedom Act, currently under consideration in the
Senate, gives pharmacists the right to refuse to fill
any contraception perscriptions, emergency or
otherwise, if it goes against their faith.

**Women still make $0.75 for every $1.00 a man earns,
and decent, affordable childcare is for too many women
an unattainable dream.

Rights (BACORR).

David Lurey  http://www.findbalance.net , a yogi with an angelic voice will lead kirtan. What is Kirtan? It is a form of call and response singing from India.  http://www.kirtan.org says: 

 "...Kirtan, also known as sankirtan, is an ancient musical art form specifically used to glorify the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna. In its religious fervor and heartfelt expression, it has been likened to modern American Gospel music. The roots of kirtan go back over 500 years to Renaissance India. During this period the influence and style of kirtan became the focal point for the upsurge in religious expression in Bengal, which was inspired mainly by the great saint Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. This joyful mood quickly spread throughout India, where today kirtan is accepted as one of the surest paths to enlightenment."
 
 Tuesday and wednesday, Aug. 16th and 17th, community fire circles will be held to share conversation and presentations. 
 Jill of www.rawfood.com will offer her knowledge  ... and David Kupfer will introduce the San Francisco Green Map: http://sfgreenmap.org/

# Thursday, August 18, 10am-3pm  Protest CareerBuilder Fair - 
 Stop using Chimpanzees in Commercials, 
 Apes on television and in the movies have something in common with their human costars—their wide, toothy grins. The apes, however, are “smiling” in terror. To them, acting is strange, upsetting, and often torturous. During the 2005 Super Bowl, CareerBuilder.com released four commercials featuring chimpanzees made to act like humans. PETA contacted CareerBuilder, as well as the advertising agency that created the commercials, Cramer-Krasselt, to explain to them about the abuse great apes endure who are used for commercials, but we have received no response from either company.

# Happy Trees preview (A Bob Ross satire) Thursday, August 18th
Screening: 9pm, Party: 8pm - midnight FREE
 
Directed by San Francisco artist Jakob Bokulich and co-directed with theater veteran Bobby Weinapple, Happy Trees (28 min.) can be seen either as a conceptual art comedy, or as a scathing satire directed at the art world. Jakob Bokulich (The Mission Movie, Hysteria)  plays Bob, who is modeled on Bob Ross (www.bobross.com), as is the film's "how-to" format. In this case, however, Bob is trying to draw Rauschenberg's "Erased deKooning Drawing," (http://www.sfmoma.org/msoma/artworks/93.html) which leads to a tricky philosophical problem: how do you draw an erased drawing? The problem compounds when three Barney-esque cheerleaders appear (Candace Collins, Diana Rivera from Roccoco Risque, and Paula Van Der Zwaan), effectively destroying the how-to show, and propelling Bob into a hilarious head trip.
This is also a going-away party for Jakob and his lady Annie as they abscond to LA. Groovy tunes will be provided by Chauncey who normally DJs at el Rio, a Capoeira roda is likely, as are clowns on stilts - so be forwarned.

About the film:

THE FOREST FOR THE TREES: Judi Bari v. the FBI

In 1990, environmentalist and union organizer Judi Bari's car was bombed.  Within three hours of the bombing, Bari was accused of transporting the exlposives that had nearly killed her. Still in the hospital, she was arrested and labeled a terrorist in the national media.  THE FOREST FOR THE TREES follows Judi Bari's story, culminating in her civil suit against the FBI.  At the heart of the film is Bari, a folk hero with an electrifying on-screen presence, and the legal battle against law enforcement that few believed she could win.

Made by Bernadine Mellis, the daughter of Judi Bari’s lead attorney Dennis Cunningham, the film follows the last major case of his career with a sense of both the beauty and the costs of a life of activism.

The current cut of the film has been screening in festivals and venues nationally, including at The Pacific Film Archive (this month), The Brooklyn Museum, The New York Underground Film Festival, the Ashland Independent Film Festival (where it won Best Short Documentary), and the Santa Cruz Film Festival (where it won the Audience Award for Best Short Documentary).  The art auction is intended to raise funds for a professional sound mix and distribution costs.

One consecutive Monday Tuesday and Wednesday in August.
Intermediate students continue on to perform on Thursday evening from 5:30-8pm at the Ferry Building. 

The last chance to take a hoop intensive before Burning Man! Monday's class focuses on torso and arms, Tuesday class focuses on legs and floorwork, Wednesday's class focuses on off body moves. There will be special attention given to micromovements of the body, working with the downbeat, freeing the head, working planes, playing to the audience and infusing your dance with emotion. Guidance for performance given throughout class. Intermediate level class will recieve more challenging exercises and moves and must have taken an intensive previously. The intermediate class will include more discussion of performance, stage presence, costuming and creating a cohesive show. 

Both classes emphasize poise, elegance, grace, power and originality in creating your hoopdance. The first class also works on learning basic "tricks", the intermediate class starts using those moves in a full dance context which uses each move on every angle, while exploring alternating body height and body angles while doing every move. The intermediate class also covers advanced moves and combinations.

Each evening will have a jam circle to close. Fantastic music will propel us to a new level! Beginner level class is $75 for three night series of classes, 4.5 hours total time. Intermediate level class is $85 for 4.5 hours class and a 2.5 hour live performance lab. Enrollment preference given to those who register for entire series as this creates the "intensive hoop bootcamp" experience. Class size limited to 11 students per class. 

Pre-registration required at http://www.HoopGirl.com  Go to "Buy Now" link and register in online store. Space is *very* limited and sells out every month for the beginner class. Don't miss out!

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 31 6pm- right after sunset
DEEP END CAMP Address: Catharsis and 9 oclock

I have booked the Deep End Camp for a major international frenzy of

go-ers are super excited to see all that hula hooping has to offer so  
please join us and come play! Come show off, come share your moves,  
come in your finest costume, come naked, just at least come and  
partake in this mega meeting of hoopers!

ALSO...

I will be teaching two community classes at Deep End as well -- come  
play... multilevel, all abilities... hopefully will be co-facilitated  
by some amazing fellow hoopers if there are many many people who show  
up.
DATES: Wednesday August 31 and Thursday September 1
TIME: from 2-3.

Kirstin Slye will be teaching poi classes right before me from 1-2 as  
well, so come spend a whole afternoon with us if you like!

# Kai Eckhardt, Jon Fishman, Julia Butterfly Hill Fri Sep 2 9:00 pm $22
 
Featuring the collaboration of world class musicians, performers, and artists, The Village represented by Kai Eckhardt on bass, Jon Fishman on drums, Julia Butterfly Hill performing spoken word, and many very special guests. Born in Germany, raised in West Africa, Eckhardt's passionate dedication to the study of bass started at age 15, and has continued to grow through graduating Berklee College of Music with honors, teaching music, recording and performing with artists including Bob Moses, the John McLauglin trio & Zakir Hussein, and since 2000, has toured extensively with Garaj Mahal.

The original drummer for Phish, (as well as the inspiration for the band's name), Jon Fishman's passion for the drums started at an early age in Syracuse, NY.  He spent twenty amazing years touring with this generation's most beloved jam band, and is now experimenting with his own side projects. Fishman is known for going as far as playing a vacuum cleaner to get his desired sound, and for his intricate and explosive rhythms.

Most known for living in Luna, an ancient redwood, for two years, and thus bringing the battle for Headwaters forest to the attention of national and international media, Julia Butterfly Hill now tours on behalf of the Circle of Life foundation, dedicated to education, youth programs, and tools for sustainable living.

Other guests include keyboardist Kit Walker (Pagan Love Orchestra, Kundalini Boombox,), West African talking drummer Rasaki (King Sunny Ade), and Indian Kathak dancers Kaveri and Mansi.

# September 2-5th, 2005 Eco - Defense Rendezvous

Camp with us along the Wenatchee River!

Rainforest Action Network - Greenpeace - Earth First!

Join us in a forest east of the Cascades for labor day weekend! Bring
all your musician friends for some wild sounds around the campfire.
There will also be many workshops and trainings: tree-climbing,
self-defense, edible and herbal plant walks, gorilla theater, radical
cheerleading, map and compass, timber monitoring, non-violence, gender
dynamics and much more. (Note: if you attend these workshops you’ll be
considered trained and ready to work on Greenpeace, RAN, EF! campaigns.)

About the forest: Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington State
approved a plan to log 2,500 acres of federal lands that were burned by
the Fischer Fire in August of 2004. The plan calls for logging in
old-growth forest reserves, and for building or re-building over 15
miles of road. So lawsuits have been filed and loggers are logging as
fast as possible to ensure the courts have no control over the hauling
of 4,000 log trucks of fire adapted forests. It's called an "Economic
Emergency." Details about the lawsuit

Trudell reads poetry and speaks as part of a fundraiser for the Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC)--the only group working in the field every day to stop the slaughter and harassment of Yellowstone's wild buffalo.
 September 9.  7 to 9 pm $15 more info (415) 637-1855.
 Woman's Building Auditorium
 3543 18th St., San Francisco
http://www.womensbuilding.org
 The Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC) works in the field to stop the slaughter and harassment of some of the last herds of wild  buffalo. Volunteers from around the world defend buffalo on their traditional winter habitat in the Yellowstone area, and advocate for their protection. BFC's daily  patrols stand with the buffalo on the ground they choose to be on, and document every move made against them.
  
  John Trudell is an acclaimed poet, national recording artist, actor and  Native American activist whose international following reflects the universal language of  his words, work and message. Trudell (Santee Sioux) was a spokesperson for the Indian of All Tribes occupation of Alcatraz Island from 1969 to 1971.  He then worked with the American Indian Movement (AIM), serving as Chairman  of AIM from 1973 to 1979.

In 1982, Trudell began recording his poetry to traditional Native music and in 1983  he released his debut album Tribal Voice on his own Peace Company label.  Trudell then teamed up with the late legendary Kiowa guitarist Jesse Ed  Davis. Together, they recorded three albums during the 1980's. The first of  these, AKA Graffiti Man, was released in 1986 and dubbed the best album of  the year by Bob Dylan.  AKA Graffiti Man served early notice of Trudell's  singular ability to express fundamental truths through a unique mix of  poetry, Native music, blues and rock. His latest CD, Bone Days, was executive produced by  Aademy Award winning actress Angelina Jolie and released on the Daemon  Records label in 2002. In addition to his music career, Trudell has played  roles in a number of feature films, including Thunderheart and Smoke  Signals.  He most recently played Coyote in Hallmark's made for television movie, Dreamkeeper.

-The Geneva convention instructs us to resist genocide by any means necessary.
