Please join Rune Lund, member of the Danish Parliament representing the Red-Green Alliance, and the Socialist Party USA for an examination of the possibilities of a red-green electoral alliance. Issues of environmentalism and energy sustainability have become fundamental to any thorough critique of the capitalism. Can this intellectual link be translated into an electoral force? Join us and find out more about a successful example of this strategy. Monday, October 1, 2007, 6.00pm 339 Lafayette Street (between Bleecker & Bond), Manhattan, NYC.

It is time, once again, to put on your marching shoes, make your pro-peace signs and call a friend who also supports an end to war and occupation.

On Saturday October 27th major anti-war demonstrations will take place in 11 cities in the US. New Yorkers will be doing our share during a 1:00pm march from 14th Street Union Square to Foley Square. The march will be followed by an information session at Foley Square where demonstrators can network with other peace organizations.

One of the great smaller actions connected to this big march will feature a march by the Bergen Peace and Justice Coalition (the major peace group in Northern New Jersey) over the George Washington Bridge to link up with the Washington Heights Anti-war Network. I think it would be great if people from the North and South Bronx could join these groups and head down to the march together.

So, if you are interested in participating in this demonstration drop me an email or give me a call at (718) 869-2279. This demo will be a great step forward for the peace movement nationally. Hopefully we can do our part locally.

Oh, the march is fully permitted and the organizers, United for Peace and Justice, have a long history of safe and peaceful marches so it should be child friendly.

Peace, Billy wawharton(at)yahoo.com

Which forces should the U.S. anti-war movement support in Iraq? Should we give blanket support to all groups “resisting” the US occupation – including ex-Baathists and Islamic fundamentalists? Can we forget the grim liquidation campaigns against leftists in Sadaam Hussein’s Iraq in the early 70s and after the Iranian Revolution in the 80s? Does political Islam or right-wing nationalism offer a road forward for the majority of Iraqis? Join the Socialist Party USA (NYC local) and the National Organization for Iraqi Freedom Struggles for a discussion of the progressive secular alternatives offered by the Iraq Freedom Congress. The evening will include a screening of the short documentary entitled “The Iraqi Civil Resistance.” Award-winning journalist Bill Weinberg will provide a report-back from an international conference on building solidarity with the Iraq Freedom Congress (IFC) held in Tokyo this past summer. Bill Weinberg is editor of the electronic journal World War 4 Report (www.WW4Report.com) and author of Homage to Chiapas: The New Indigenous Struggles in Mexico (Verso, 2000). His work has appeared in numerous publications, including The Nation, AlterNet, New America Media, NACLA Report on the Americas, etc. He is also co-producer of the "The Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade" on WBAI.

NOBODIES: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy

Discussion with Author John Bowe Where: NYU School of Law Vanderbilt Hall Room 201 40 Washington Square South (West 4th St.) at MacDougal St. It's just a block from the W. 4th St. stop of the ACE/BDFV When: Wednesday, October 31st 12:30pm Free, but Members of the public should bring ID Most Americans would be shocked to discover that slavery still exists in the United States -- from southern Florida, to Tulsa, Las Vegas, New York City, Washington state, Minnesota, Indiana, and even Maine. Yet most of us buy goods made by people who aren't paid for their labor—people who are trapped financially, and often physically. Indeed, products made by slaves are fattening bottom lines of companies we patronize every day, including Tropicana, Minute Maid, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's, Kroger, Wal-Mart, and virtually every large retail food vendor in America. In NOBODIES: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy , award-winning journalist John Bowe exposes the outsourcing, corporate chicanery, immigration fraud, and sleights of hand that allow forced labor to continue in the United States while the rest of us notice nothing but the everyday low price at the checkout counter.
