Brooklyn For Peace will screen [this] film [Thurs.] Sept. 5 at 388 Atlantic Ave. https://facebook.com/events/671001733365204/. On the 7th of July 2017, 122 countries voted in favour of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Countries that don’t have nuclear weapons but live under their threat voted for a ban. Without the knowledge of most of their citizens, the governments of the world’s nuclear powers didn’t vote, and yet the ban went ahead. Something new is happening. This documentary film about efforts to bring a nuclear weapon ban treaty into international law and the role of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, ICAN, is told through the voices of leading activists from several different organizations and countries and the president of the negotiating conference. This 59 minute documentary film takes the viewer through a brief history of the bomb and the anti-nuclear activism that has pushed to eliminate them ever since their invention. It moves into a consideration of the humanitarian initiative that successfully challenged the dominant security narrative and the historic steps taken since 2010 to turn the treaty from a dream into a reality. Finally, the film shows what can be done by anyone to help bring the treaty into force and to stigmatise nuclear weapons until they are finally eradicated. Extracts of fourteen interviews are woven into the story that will leave you feeling inspired!

An July 11 and 18 Narcopolis Jeet Thayil Written in poetic and affecting prose, Jeet Thayil’s luminous debut novel charts the evolution of a great and broken metropolis across three decades. A rich, hallucinatory dream that captures Bombay in all its compelling squalor, Narcopolis completely subverts and challenges the literary traditions for which the Indian novel is celebrated. It is a book about drugs, sex, death, perversion, addiction, love, and God and has more in common in its subject matter with the work of William S. Burroughs or Baudelaire than with that of the subcontinent’s familiar literary lights. Above all, it is a fantastical portrait of a beautiful and damned generation in a nation about to sell its soul. July 25 and August 1 The Expendable Man Dorothy B. Hughes “It was surprising what old experiences remembered could do to a presumably educated, civilized man.” And Hugh Denismore, a young doctor driving his mother’s Cadillac from Los Angeles to Phoenix, is eminently educated and civilized. He is privileged, would seem to have the world at his feet, even. Then why does the sight of a few redneck teenagers disconcert him? Why is he reluctant to pick up a disheveled girl hitchhiking along the desert highway? And why is he the first person the police suspect when she is found dead in Arizona a few days later? Dorothy B. Hughes ranks with Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith as a master of mid-century noir. In books like In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse she exposed a seething discontent underneath the veneer of twentieth-century prosperity. With The Expendable Man, first published in 1963, Hughes upends the conventions of the wrong-man narrative to deliver a story that engages readers even as it implicates them in the greatest of all American crimes. August 8 and 15 The Instant Enemy Ross Macdonald Generations of murder, greed and deception come home to roost in time for the most shocking conclusion ever in a Lew Archer novel. At first glance, it’s an open-and-shut missing persons case: a headstrong daughter has run off to be with her hothead juvenile delinquent boyfriend. That is until this bush-league Bonnie & Clyde kidnap Stephen Hackett, a local millionaire industrialist. Now, Archer is offered a cool 100 Gs for his safe return by his coquettish heiress mother who has her own mysterious ties to this disturbed duo. But the deeper Archer digs, the more he realizes that nothing is as it seems and everything is questionable. Is the boyfriend a psycho ex-con with murder on the brain or a damaged youngster trying to straighten out his twisted family tree? August 22 and 29 The End of the Wasp Season Denise Mina When wealthy Sarah Erroll is murdered at her home in a posh part of Glasgow the local community is stunned. Heavily pregnant with desperately-wanted twins, DS Alex Morrow is called into a scene so violent that experienced officers can hardly bear to look. On the other side of town, Thomas Anderson is told by the headmaster at his boarding school that his tyrannical father – a banker responsible for the loss of many livelihoods in the recession – has hanged himself from the old oak tree on the lawn of their home. Thomas returns to the family home to find his mother and sister in a state of shock. The head of the household is dead, yet their initial reaction is not that of grief, but relief. As Alex Morrow makes the connections between the two cases, she faces her greatest challenge yet as her work and home lives collide with potentially disastrous consequences. September 12 and 19 Nada Jean-Patrick Manchette translated from the French by Donald Nicholson-Smith, with an introduction by Luc Sante Nada is the most overtly political of Jean-Patrick Manchette’s dark thrillers, a critique of the terrorism that tempted a sliver of the ultra-left in France (and elsewhere) in the wake of the disillusions of 1968. The novel chronicles the kidnapping and eventual killing of an American ambassador by an anarcho-terrorist group who have espoused armed struggle. A rough equivalent to this story might be the saga of the ill-fated Symbionese Liberation Army in California, whose fiery elimination is reminiscent of the police massacre of Manchette’s fictional direct-action group in Nada. The novel is in no sense a political pamphlet, however, and readers who have come to appreciate the very special qualities of Manchette’s writing, and the cool noir style that he inherits in part from Dashiell Hammett and calls “behaviorist,” will not be disappointed in the tour de force that is Nada. The MEP LITERATURE GROUP has been meeting to discuss literature since the first days of The Marxist Education Project. The group last year completed a second summer of readings of noir, considering works by Hammett, Chandler, Manchette, and others. Other studies have included novels related to World War I, the global depression of the 1930s, borders and migration, and the literature of mutually assured destruction and more.

When: Sunday 8/4 at 3pm Where: 265 Cherry St. The NYS Supreme Court dictates that the Two Bridges luxury towers must now go through the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP). By refusing to approve these towers outright, the court disagrees with Mayor de Blasio's total disregard for the community and his support for rich developers. But we the community are not deceived into believing that a Uniform Land Use Review Procedure is any kind of victory. In the hands of our local Council Member Margaret Chin, this process is sure to get the towers approved. Her intention to align with Mayor de Blasio’s displacement agenda has been clear from the beginning. We need to take the future of the neighborhood into our own hands, for the community should have the power to decide what is built here! Join us as we announce our next steps to demand Mayor de Blasio and Council Member Chin: - Stop the Two Bridges megatowers approved in the Lower East Side. - Pass the FULL Chinatown Working Group Rezoning Plan that would stop luxury high-rises and require housing that is truly affordable to the community.

For the past two weeks Delbert has been suffering from severe swelling from the bottom of his waist all the way down to his toes . For the past two weeks prison officials at SCI Dallas has ignored Delbert's request for medical until this past week when several calls were made to his counselor . A medical visit was finally scheduled for this past Wednesday 7/31/2019 where it was explained to Delbert that he has a fluid build up which required to be drained Delbert was immediately taken to an outside hospital, where as of today 8/3/2019 we still do not know where Delbert is . For several days now Delbert has been kept incommunicado from calling his MOVE Family , His Blood Daughter, and even his lawyer . Prison officials and also hospital officials will not give any one information pertaining to where Delbert is at . Something very suspicious is happening here and it appears the same pattern that occurred with Phil Africa in 2015 where a simple stomach virus turned to A weeklong trip to the outside hospital held incommunicado from family and friends to return back to the prison and be placed in hospice care and to only die a day later. In 1998 Merle Africa who had a stomach virus was forced in her cell and told she was dying only to die a couple of hours later . This system has no issue with murdering MOVE people and that's what they are trying to do with Delbert now . They have already given ground by letting innocent MOVE people out on parole and they do not want to do this with Delbert . As we said before this system has always saw Delbert as the leader and isolated him and this latest tactic is no different . Delbert is set to go before the board this September after winning his appeal now this happens . As of now we have heard that it was has been stated based on the medical report given from Outside medical they are stating that Delbert has Anemia , High Potassium , High Psa's , Acute malignancy of lower intestines , Kidney Trouble , and Suspicion of prostate cancer . The only thing that Delbert has agreed to with any treatment or exams is the submission of a catheter to be used Delbert has requested a phone call to his MOVE Family which the prison and Also Hospital will not allow . We are highly suspicious that this prison has done something to Delbert to bring on these symptoms on so quick . They could not kill Delbert August 8th after the brutal beating they gave him and now they want to finish the job before he can come home on parole . These officials are so arrogant this is the same way they murdered Phil Africa and Merle Africa . As we have stated before they have isolated our Brother So they can kill him. They won't let know one speak to him and this is very Dangerous we need people now to call SCI Dallas Superintendent Kevin Ransom 570 675- 1101 Geisenger Hospital 570 808-7300 We want people to demand that Delbert Orr Africa Am4895 be allowed to call his MOVE Family and let them know what's going . Even Though it's the weekend we are still asking people to call and Monday we are going full blast . The MOVE Organization People can reach Sue Africa 215 387-4107 Carlos Africa 215 385-2772 Janine Africa 610 704 4524 . See more details Read They Were Her Property by Stephanie E.

It is estimated that the bombs have killed 210,000 citizens by the end of 1945 and, over the years, have ruined the health of many of the survivors. The average age of the Hibakusha, or atomic bomb survivors, is now over 82 years old, and many of them are still suffering from terrible health issues. To honor the memory of those who were killed by the atomic bombings, a coalition of citizens and peace activists will gather in front of the Japan Consulate General in New York. The coalition supports the commitment of the Japanese people to protect their peace constitution by retaining Article 9. It encourages them in their continued opposition to Japan’s reliance on the U.S.-Japan military alliance and the U.S. nuclear umbrella. The coalition’s conviction is that nuclear weapons must never be used again against any nation under any circumstances. The message of peace from Hibakusha to the people of the world is an appeal for all to realize a world free of nuclear weapons. Article 9 of Japanese Constitution: (1) Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. (2) To accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized. Introduction clause of Japanese Constitution: All peoples of the world have the right to live in peace, free from fear and want.

(212) 982-1633 The NYC-DSA Immigrant Justice Working Group is pleased to host a Know Your Rights Training for our working group and the wider DSA community. Staff attorneys from the Immigrant Defense Project (https://www.immigrantdefenseproject.org/) will lead the training. For six years, IDP has been monitoring immigration (ICE) raids in New York, and training community members and advocates on ICE tactics and arrest trends. Understanding ICE tactics can help shed light on how those at risk of deportation can prepare and how to strategize about ways to fight back through organizing and/or in the courts. At a time when ICE raids, detention, and deportation of immigrants are on the rise, we should all know what our rights are. Who is at risk of arrest by ICE? What should you do if ICE knocks on your door? How can you tell the difference between the police and ICE? What can you do as a bystander if you are witnessing an ICE raid or arrest? We'll provide information about the current climate for immigrants in New York and will answer these questions and more. All of the Immigrant Defense Project ICE Raids materials can be found at immdefense.org/raids and include Know Your Rights flyers, posters, and booklets in multiple languages as well as a toolkit on ICE raids (Eng/Sp). There is also a set of infographics on who is at risk of deportation, ruses, and what to do if ICE violates your rights (available in Eng/Sp). For anyone interested in learning about ICE enforcement trends before the training, IDP's ICEwatch map has over 1000 reports of ICE raids and the accompanying report from last summer highlights some of the most common tactics we've seen in the last few years (immdefense.org/icewatch).

COST: Free Normally we in NYC ABC write these short blurbs announcing our every other week Political Prisoner Letter-Writing Dinners in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Or perhaps we highlight the good news of an imprisoned comrade being released from prison. With this announcement, neither is the case. We've just lost United Freedom Front political prisoner == > Tom Manning. Tom died in prison and we cannot emphasize enough that he deserved better. Tom was a mentor and never wavered in his revolutionary principles. Please take the time to read this statement by Ray Luc Levasseur, a former political prisoner and one of Tom's closest comrades: https://abcf.net/blog/statement-by-ray-luc-levasseur-regarding-tom-manning We are certain that Tom would not want his death to result in the work of supporting political prisoners slowing and so as a collective, we carry on. This week, we will be hosting a Black August card signing. The deal, as always, is that you come bringing only yourself (and your friends and comrades), and we provide you with a delicious vegan meal, information about the prisoners as well as all of the letter-writing materials and prisoner-letter-writing info you could ever want to use in one evening. In return, you write a thoughtful letter to a political prisoner or prisoner of war of your choosing or, better yet, keep up a long-term correspondence. We’ll also provide some brief updates and pass around birthday cards for the PP/POWs whose birthdays fall in the next two weeks thanks to the PP/POW Birthday Calendar. Directions: Getting to The Base is simple: >From the M Train: Central Avenue Stop: Walk east on Myrtle Avenue (away from Hart Street, toward Cedar Street). We’re about two blocks down on the south side of the street. Knickerbocker Avenue Stop: Walk west on Myrtle Avenue (away from Harman Street, toward Himrod Street). We’re about three blocks down on the south side of the street. >From the L Train: DeKalb Avenue Stop: Walk south on Stockholm Street (away from Wyckoff Avenue, toward Irving Avenue). We’re about four blocks down, at the intersection of Stockholm Street and Myrtle Avenue. >From the J Train: Myrtle Avenue Stop: Transfer to the M train and follow the above directions.

Delbert has not been allowed to call his MOVE Family or Blood Daughter. Prison and hospital officials will not release any information to any of us on Delbert or his condition. We are highly suspicious of what's going on here. In 2015 our Brother Phil Africa was taken to an outside hospital from SCI Dallas with a minor stomach virus. He was held incommunicado for a period of 5 days and upon returning to SCI Dallas he was placed in hospice care only to die a day later. In March of 1998 after recovering from a stomach virus at SCI Cambridge Springs, Merle Africa was told by prison officials she was dying only to die a couple of hours later. The same pattern is repeating itself here. Delbert is scheduled to go before the PA Parole Board this September and this government does not want to give ground and parole another innocent MOVE memberl that's why they are working in conjunction with prison and hospital officials to murder Delbert.

He identifies the actors that have misled us for profit and political gain, dispels the myth that healthcare needs to be personally expensive, shows how we can smoothly transition to a new model, and reveals the slate of humane and progressive reforms that we can only achieve with single payer as the springboard. Faust will be joined by guests who can speak to the specific communities who would benefit most radically from single-payer. /// Timothy Faust's writing has appeared in Splinter, Jacobin, and VICE, among others. He has worked as a data scientist in the healthcare industry, before which he enrolled people in ACA programs in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, where he saw both the shortcomings of the ACA and the consequences of the Medicaid gap firsthand. Since 2017, he’s been driving around the United States in his 2002 Honda CR-V talking to people about health inequity in their neighborhoods. He co-hosts the podcast Heavy Medical with Kelly Jo Popkin. Faust occasionally appears on the podcast Chapo Trap House as their healthcare correspondent. Faust is an organizer with the Democratic socialists of America, and lives in Brooklyn. In 2016, Faust sold a “Ted Cruz Was the Zodiac Killer” T-shirt, raising $70,000 which was donated to West Fund, an organization that helps low-income women obtain safe abortions.

The increasing urgency of our climate crisis is why Governor Murphy campaigned on a plan to move New Jersey quickly onto 100% clean energy. Yet his draft Energy Master Plan released last month fails to meet the urgency with which we must act, and in many cases makes the problems we face even worse. Now we must use our voices to demand a real plan to avert climate catastrophe and ensure environmental justice, one that includes an immediate moratorium on fossil fuel projects and immediate and aggressive cuts to existing sources of pollution, with a priority on reducing pollution in our most overburdened communities. From now until September 14th, the NJ Board of Public Utilities will be taking public comments and holding public hearings on the Governors Draft Energy Master Plan. We need as many people as possible to join us August 8th in Newark at the next and only public hearing scheduled in Northern New Jersey to amplify our demand for a fair transition to a 100% clean energy economy! What: Public hearing and rally for a real climate and clean energy plan for New Jersey Who: Everyone concerned about the impacts of climate change and dirty energy pollution When: Thursday, August 8, any time between 12pm - 7:30 pm - stay for as long or as little as you can! Where: Seton Hall Law School, One Newark Center, 1109 Raymond Boulevard, Newark, NJ Please sign up today to make a public comment at the hearing: https://nj.gov/emp/get/ Then sign up here with us so we know you can attend the hearing: https://forms.gle/LeEvkPKp7EGMxg6J8 Whether you plan to make a comment or not, we need you with us! Sample talking points on the energy plan are attached to help get you started, and a lengthier analysis can be found on our website at www.empowernewjersey.com In addition to combating the climate crisis, a real plan for 100% clean energy in NJ must center the needs of low income communities of color like Newark, who have long suffered the disproportionate impacts of our polluting energy system. These environmental justice communities face higher rates of premature death from cancer, respiratory disease, asthma, heart attacks, and strokes. Rising temperatures also hit the city harder than the suburbs as the paved landscape traps extreme heat that threatens seniors, babies, and other vulnerable populations, and ozone alerts keep kids indoors on bad air days. Much of Newark including low-income housing communities and the airport lie in flood-prone areas and are increasingly vulnerable to climate change impacts, and many lack the resources to get out of harms way and rebuild after extreme weather events. These are just some of the reasons why Governor Murphy must amend his draft energy plan to include immediate emissions reductions, and prioritize these reductions in environmental justice communities. In order to insure a fair transition to a clean energy economy, New Jersey must also invest in job creation, training, and resource allocation to impacted workers and environmental justice communities alike. This is an urgent moment in our movement for a livable and healthy future. We need a strong presence at this next public hearing in Newark to demonstrate that the people of New Jersey demand a real plan for a healthy and renewable New Jersey!

The Brazilian government in conjunction with animal feed companies is turning the Amazon rainforests into meat burgers. Global actions will take place with marches and protests to Brazilian Embassies, fast food restaurants and chalking in public spaces. 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗: Mighty Earth, a Washington DC group, released a report called "Still At It" which points to large-scale forest-clearing by Bolivian and Brazilian farmers who trade soybeans with Cargill. Mighty Earth used satellite imaging and supply-chain mapping information from the Stockholm Environment Institute, an environmental think tank, to identify deforestation in Brazil where two American-based food giants, Cargill and Bunge, are the only known agricultural traders. The group used drones to record the clearing of forests and savannas in areas where Cargill operates silos. The report, said McDonald’s had expressed a “desire for collective joint action with its suppliers” about the problem. The company had not provided information about its supply chain but “publicly available data shows that it is Cargill’s biggest customer in Europe”, the report added. ...In February, The New York Times spoke to local farmers in Bolivia in the areas covered by the first Mighty report and was told by ones who had cleared forest areas that they had sold soy to Cargill. While Cargill is hardly well known, it is the largest private firm in the US in terms of revenue. The Mighty Earth report in February used satellite images, drones and mapping information to find evidence of significant deforestation in areas of Brazil and Bolivia where Cargill and another major company, Bunge, buy from farmers.

Intended to curb congestion and address equity in the system, the regulations being imposed are not immovable limits. And because New York City has led the way in collecting important details about traffic, app-based trips, and drivers’ earnings, the solutions are based on actual data from the streets and must change when the day-to-day circumstances demand it. Join us for a presentation by Meera Joshi, Visiting Scholar at NYU Wagner and former Chair of the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission, to hear how these regulations work in practice, how they are affecting ridership across the city, and the lessons other cities can learn from New York's experience as they face similar challenges. A conversation with Sarah M. Kaufman, Associate Director of the NYU Rudin Center for Transportation, will follow.

An July 11 and 18 Narcopolis Jeet Thayil Written in poetic and affecting prose, Jeet Thayil’s luminous debut novel charts the evolution of a great and broken metropolis across three decades. A rich, hallucinatory dream that captures Bombay in all its compelling squalor, Narcopolis completely subverts and challenges the literary traditions for which the Indian novel is celebrated. It is a book about drugs, sex, death, perversion, addiction, love, and God and has more in common in its subject matter with the work of William S. Burroughs or Baudelaire than with that of the subcontinent’s familiar literary lights. Above all, it is a fantastical portrait of a beautiful and damned generation in a nation about to sell its soul. July 25 and August 1 The Expendable Man Dorothy B. Hughes “It was surprising what old experiences remembered could do to a presumably educated, civilized man.” And Hugh Denismore, a young doctor driving his mother’s Cadillac from Los Angeles to Phoenix, is eminently educated and civilized. He is privileged, would seem to have the world at his feet, even. Then why does the sight of a few redneck teenagers disconcert him? Why is he reluctant to pick up a disheveled girl hitchhiking along the desert highway? And why is he the first person the police suspect when she is found dead in Arizona a few days later? Dorothy B. Hughes ranks with Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith as a master of mid-century noir. In books like In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse she exposed a seething discontent underneath the veneer of twentieth-century prosperity. With The Expendable Man, first published in 1963, Hughes upends the conventions of the wrong-man narrative to deliver a story that engages readers even as it implicates them in the greatest of all American crimes. August 8 and 15 The Instant Enemy Ross Macdonald Generations of murder, greed and deception come home to roost in time for the most shocking conclusion ever in a Lew Archer novel. At first glance, it’s an open-and-shut missing persons case: a headstrong daughter has run off to be with her hothead juvenile delinquent boyfriend. That is until this bush-league Bonnie & Clyde kidnap Stephen Hackett, a local millionaire industrialist. Now, Archer is offered a cool 100 Gs for his safe return by his coquettish heiress mother who has her own mysterious ties to this disturbed duo. But the deeper Archer digs, the more he realizes that nothing is as it seems and everything is questionable. Is the boyfriend a psycho ex-con with murder on the brain or a damaged youngster trying to straighten out his twisted family tree? August 22 and 29 The End of the Wasp Season Denise Mina When wealthy Sarah Erroll is murdered at her home in a posh part of Glasgow the local community is stunned. Heavily pregnant with desperately-wanted twins, DS Alex Morrow is called into a scene so violent that experienced officers can hardly bear to look. On the other side of town, Thomas Anderson is told by the headmaster at his boarding school that his tyrannical father – a banker responsible for the loss of many livelihoods in the recession – has hanged himself from the old oak tree on the lawn of their home. Thomas returns to the family home to find his mother and sister in a state of shock. The head of the household is dead, yet their initial reaction is not that of grief, but relief. As Alex Morrow makes the connections between the two cases, she faces her greatest challenge yet as her work and home lives collide with potentially disastrous consequences. September 12 and 19 Nada Jean-Patrick Manchette translated from the French by Donald Nicholson-Smith, with an introduction by Luc Sante Nada is the most overtly political of Jean-Patrick Manchette’s dark thrillers, a critique of the terrorism that tempted a sliver of the ultra-left in France (and elsewhere) in the wake of the disillusions of 1968. The novel chronicles the kidnapping and eventual killing of an American ambassador by an anarcho-terrorist group who have espoused armed struggle. A rough equivalent to this story might be the saga of the ill-fated Symbionese Liberation Army in California, whose fiery elimination is reminiscent of the police massacre of Manchette’s fictional direct-action group in Nada. The novel is in no sense a political pamphlet, however, and readers who have come to appreciate the very special qualities of Manchette’s writing, and the cool noir style that he inherits in part from Dashiell Hammett and calls “behaviorist,” will not be disappointed in the tour de force that is Nada. The MEP LITERATURE GROUP has been meeting to discuss literature since the first days of The Marxist Education Project. The group last year completed a second summer of readings of noir, considering works by Hammett, Chandler, Manchette, and others. Other studies have included novels related to World War I, the global depression of the 1930s, borders and migration, and the literature of mutually assured destruction and more.

For years, overdose has taken the lives of more New Yorkers than homicides, traffic accidents, and suicides combined. Under Governor Cuomo, overdose has increased 200%, and we have lost over 20,000 people. This legislation session, we fought for and won a bill to remove prior authorization for all formularies of MAT [medically assisted treatment - possibly related to Narcan] for Medicaid recipients, and now the Governor is signaling he may veto this lifesaving bill because of the cost. Year after year, we have to put everything on the line and fight for interventions that have years of evidence. Yet, year after year, we end up with crumbs while the overdose crisis continues to claim record lives across our communities and state. The announcement of the NYS Senate Opioids, Addiction & Overdose Prevention Taskforce (previously known as the Heroin Taskforce)--co-chaired by Senators Rivera, Harckham, and Carlucci—presents an opportunity to get our voices heard, to shift the narrative, and demand the solutions we’ve long known to be implemented.

Forced to endure deprivation and unimaginable torment from the moment they are born until the day they are slaughtered, dogs are imprisoned in cramped, rusty, raised cages all their lives with no protection from extreme weather and no water, exercise, companionship or medical care, never feeling the ground beneath feet. Their eardrums are often burst to prevent them from barking. In broad daylight, often in front of other live dogs, they are electrocuted, hanged, beaten or burnt to death. This is a profit-driven, tax free, unregulated industry that aggressively promotes the myth that eating a dog (especially the dog’s penis) enhances male virility and gives men energy. In addition, consumption peaks during the hottest days of summer! Koreans genuinely believe that the more a dog suffers, the more the consumer will enjoy both the health benefits and the meat… Many dogs are sadistically made to experience extreme fear and suffering prior to death. Cats are frequently boiled alive to make tonics believed to treat rheumatism. The demand is so high in South Korea that 20% of the dogs eaten there are now imported from China. South Korea is the only country known to have large, intensive farming systems to supply the demand for dog meat. http://koreandogs.org/ We must ACT NOW! Please join The Animals' Battalion, in solidarity with KoreanDogs.org as well as countless other animal rights activists worldwide in voicing our disgust at the South Korean government's indifference in allowing this senseless barbaric trade to continue and help us raise awareness about the horrendous suffering inflicted upon our best and most loyal friends - the dogs and cats with whom we share our homes and our lives.

Abelson’s Men in Place: Trans Masculinity, Race, and Sexuality in America (Minnesota, 2019), Julian Gill-Peterson’s Histories of the Transgender Child (Minnesota, 2018), and Ann Travers’ The Trans Generation: How Trans Kids (and Their Parents) Are Creating a Gender Revolution (NYU 2018). Copies of Abelson's, Gill-Peterson's, and Travers' books will be available for purchase at the Bureau. To reserve a copy/copies please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com. Please support the Bureau by buying books from us. Thank you! == > $10 suggested donation to benefit the Bureau. No one turned away for lack of funds. Miriam J. Abelson is an Assistant Professor of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Portland State University. Her book, Men in Place (University of Minnesota Press, 2019), demonstrates through a large and geographically diverse interview study with transgender men that contemporary U.S. masculinity, race, and sexuality are deeply embedded in the spaces and places men move through in their everyday lives. Her current research focuses on rural queer and trans lives in the U.S. inland Northwest. Ann Travers is Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology at Simon Fraser University. Their recent book, The Trans Generation: How Trans Kids (and Their Parents) Are Creating a Gender Revolution, situates trans kids in Canada and the US, white settler nations characterized by significant social inequality. Julian Gill-Peterson is an Assistant Professor of English and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Her book, Histories of the Transgender Child (University of Minnesota Press, 2018), is the recipient of a Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Nonfiction. Julian is currently at work on a book entitled “Gender Underground: A History of Trans DIY.” More Events at Bureau of General Services-Queer Division AUG7 OLNY Poly Movie Night: Shortbus SEP10 Brooklyn Institute - Reading the Iliad SEP26 Edojah: Risking It All for Freedom See more details Fists Up, Fight Back!

The murder and the subsequent decision to not indict Wilson, along with the recent murder of Eric Garner by the NYPD, sparked a wave of protests throughout the summer and fall of 2014 that helped ignite the Black Lives Matter movement. In New York, NYC Shut It Down began #PeoplesMonday, what would become a four-year-long weekly demonstration against the police murder of Black, Brown, and Indigenous people. We dedicated our first #PeoplesMonday to Mike Brown. Now, on the 5-year-anniversary of Brown's murder, we join at the nexus of those protests, Grand Central Terminal, where we once again lift up his name and tell his story. In 2014 we chanted "Hand's Up, Don't Shoot." Today we recognize it will take more than that passive plea to upend the plague of white supremacy that has ruled this country since its inception and that took Mike Brown's life. Today we say "Fists Up, Fight Back!" Join us Friday, August 9 at 7:00pm at the clock in Grand Central Terminal. Say his name! Mike Brown!

During the rally, NhRP President Steven M. Wise and staff will give updates on our litigation on behalf of Happy and our campaign to free her from the Bronx Zoo to a sanctuary. Since our June 1 rally at the Bronx Zoo, the campaign to free Happy has gained incredible momentum. Freelance journalist Yashar Ali published a Twitter thread about Happy, which went viral with the hashtag #FreeHappy. Numerous celebrities and influential people, including Kristin Davis, Whitney Cummings, Piers Morgan, and Sebastian Roche, tweeted in support of Happy’s release. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Coretz, whose district is adjacent to the zoo and whom Ali tagged in the thread along with other lawmakers, responded by saying her team would look into what they could do. Most recently, New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, who is an ex-officio trustee for the Wildlife Conservation Society, announced his support for Happy’s freedom and urged the Bronx Zoo to close its elephant exhibit and send Happy and Patty, the zoo’s other elephant, to a sanctuary. It is more important than ever that we show the Bronx Zoo and the elected officials of New York City how many people want Happy to be sent to a sanctuary, where she can reclaim the freedom that was stolen from her so long ago. Many other elephants with equally awful histories have done the same and thrived. Now it’s Happy’s turn. We will provide signs for attendees but feel free to bring your own. It will be hot, so dress in cool and comfortable clothing. We will provide water, but please bring your own if possible to ensure you are adequately hydrated. This will be a peaceful and respectful demonstration where we band together to advocate for the end of Happy’s imprisonment. Please RSVP on this page or by email to cfern@nonhumanrights.org. WHAT: Rally for Happy’s Freedom WHEN: Sat. August 10th, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. WHERE: Bronx Zoo, meet at Asia gate entrance (Gate A) WHY: Join the NhRP in raising awareness about Happy’s plight and letting the Bronx Zoo know it’s time for it to == > close its elephant exhibit and send Happy to an elephant sanctuary. [blurb from a previous action follows -t.] INFORMATION ON HAPPY AND NHRP'S LITIGATION With the NhRP’s landmark elephant rights litigation on Happy’s behalf headed to Bronx County, home of the Bronx Zoo, we are calling for recognition of Happy’s right to liberty and her release to an elephant sanctuary. As we have argued in court with the support of world-renowned elephant experts, elephants are autonomous beings who suffer deeply when deprived of their freedom and prevented from interacting with other elephants (https://www.nonhumanrights.org/client-happy/). Thirteen years after the Bronx Zoo and the entity that operates it, the Wildlife Conservation Society, acknowledged it would be “inhumane to sustain an exhibit with a single elephant,” Happy still spends every day alone. In the winter months, she lives in a cage in a holding facility (https://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/07/nyregion/bronx-zoo-plans-to-endelephant-exhibit.html). Happy is the first elephant in the world to demonstrate self-awareness via the mirror self-recognition test (https://www.livescience.com/4272-elephant-awareness-mirrors-humans.html). In December of 2018, two months after the NhRP filed a habeas corpus petition on her behalf, she became the first elephant in the world to have a habeas corpus hearing to determine the lawfulness of her imprisonment (https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/12/happy-elephant-personhood/578818/). Happy’s court case is ongoing, and we hope the Bronx County Supreme Court will promptly order a hearing to consider the injustice being visited on her as an imprisoned autonomous being. In February, the Orleans County Supreme Court decided to transfer Happy’s case to Bronx County, which we continue to view as a serious legal error; we make clear in our court filings that, according to New York habeas corpus procedure, we had the right to file in any county in the state and that we filed suit in Orleans County because the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department of which the Supreme Court is a part had correctly rejected tying legal personhood to being human. In April, the Fourth Judicial Department denied appellate review on the issue of venue in Happy’s case, meaning the transfer will move forward and the ball is now in the Bronx County Supreme Court. As with all our clients, we are fully confident in the justice of our arguments and prepared to continue the fight for Happy’s right to liberty and her release to a sanctuary wherever it takes us. Whether through litigation or mounting public pressure, the Bronx Zoo must do the right thing for Happy and release her to one of the two operational sanctuaries in the US: the Performing Animal Welfare Society or the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. {snip} .

He was only 32. They immediately called Wini’s parents, who own the home and also live there, and the authorities. Her parents arrived first. To their painful and more tragic surprise, they found themselves facing hostile treatment from the responding officers who ultimately put them both under arrest. Keilan, who was arrested first, is now facing two counts of Assault, Resisting Arrest and Making Terroristic Threats. Winnie was arrested upon objecting to her husband’s arrest and mistreatment and is now facing an Obstruction of Justice charge. Kelian also has a PreTrial Intervention hearing on Monday, August 12 at 9am before Judge Keith Bachman in Room 312 at the Bergen County Courthouse, located at 10 Main Street, Hackensack. “Here is a case where a family’s personal tragedy is compounded by bad and biased policing that has turned their tragedy into a horror story,” said P.O.P. Chairman Lawrence Hamm. “Isn’t the tragedy of losing their loved suddenly enough Trauma for one family to bear? “Now this family has to be re-traumatized trying to clear their name when their call for help was senselessly criminalized,” he finished emphatically.

Kamagasaki is the town of day-laborers, homeless, and social outcasts in Osaka Japan. Along with another urban ghetto, Sanya in Tokyo, the town saw periodic riots even after the age of uprisings in the 60s. Kamagasaki embodies all aspects of otherness to the country known for its near completion of social control and consumerist paradise. During the economic growth, the resident workers were made to provide their blood and tears for massive developments, while excluded from nation’s civil society. After the construction boom dwindled, the town was disinvested and the impetus of all activities declined; but the exclusionary status has sustained, while the majority of residents have become homeless. Today the area is the target of gentrification, and the spaces of autonomy that the residents had achieved by their long-time struggles are being evicted one after another. The town has been a center of political activism. The activists of liberal inclination work for welfare projects designed to domesticate homeless population, mostly, in collaboration with the government. Certain artists are mobilized to make the town look neater and more accessible to the general public. Labor organizers of different veins have long been working with the residents in the framework of their political organizations. Left leaning academics (mostly urban theorists) passionately study the history of labor militancy as well as the recent development of gentrification. And finally, young precariats (including those with anti-capitalist convictions) seek to create a cohabitation space with the older day-laborers and homeless by developing new autonomous zones. II. On the evening of March 31st 2019, the residents of Kamagasaki began occupying the local labor center. This was the date scheduled by the Osaka municipal government for the center's closure, in order to demolish it for a new development. At the moment when the existence of the center -- dear and necessary in the minds of so many -- fell under attack, a crowd emerged as so many bodies ready to physically defend it. The ensuing struggle manifests how the space itself had become a part of their lives. Though originally constructed in 1970 as a massive labor marketplace where construction companies could buy the labor power of day laborers, the building had since come to function as a common space for the workers and homeless people, used communally for cooking, sleeping, hanging out, playing shogi, etc. The occupation ended within twenty-four days. But the short-lived event broke the ice of powerlessness that had long been affecting the entirety of Japan, and opened a potency for the unknown. What was happening inside the occupied space was remarkable. It was an experimentation of cohabitation between the young and old dispossessed, outside the consumerist society. When the spring wind turned cold, heaters were brought in; when their stomachs got empty, a community kitchen was organized; when the night grew long, bedding was collected. The occupiers organized a general assembly for sharing the prospect of occupation. They held various discussions for all decision-makings. They built a library. They invited authors to give talks. They had film screenings. Concerts took place. Many outside friends in and out of Japan visited for support (…) These are manifestations of real capacity for a communal life in happiness, deriving from the power nurtured by the worker/homeless through their lives-as-struggle, that was reawoken by the new encounter between the older residents of Kamagasaki, young newcomers, and friends from outside. The event created relations beyond the previously dominant duality between the activist (as savior) and the day-laborer/homeless (as victim); it surpassed the phase of leftists’ passive immersion in the nostalgia of good old days of labor militancy. The event created a new body of communal life-as-struggle. This body is now charged with a question, that is shared universally among all of us living under the endless drive of capitalist/state mode of development. If every autonomous zone we create is destined to perish by violence, sooner or later, at some point in future, how can the autonomous zone and the communal relations nurtured therein sustain themselves and grow further? Is it possibly by creating a certain mobile form and synchronicity with others? III. The film, Kamagasaki – The Great Cauldron War, takes place in various locales, unfolding in the shadow of what its characters refer to simply as "Abeno." This is the high rise complex Abeno Harukas, Japan's tallest building and the epitome of reckless development. Today, powerful and vested interests threaten to displace the old Kamagasaki dwellers and destroy the forms of life they created outside of civil society. The film maps this ongoing gentrification through the perspectives of a diverse cast of characters, representative of Kamagasaki's real inhabitants: there are day laborers, prostitutes, homeless, a pickpocket, a street performer, a blind masseur, an orphan, a political activist and a priest. There is also a yakuza family called the Kamatari Gang who rule underground businesses, including the red light district Tobita Ukaku. Like real-life yakuza, the Kamatari regularly collaborate with the police and with developers. When the Kamatari's prized possession -- a kama emblazoned with the family emblem, used in pledging ceremonies -- is stolen by a wandering performer, a great melee ensues, embroiling gangsters fighting for prestige, locals looking to make a few bucks, workers/homeless protecting their symbol of survival, and bystanders who can't help but get involved. The countless kama being circulated around only complicate the situation, and confrontations multiply… The cast includes only a few established actors. The majority of the characters are played by friends of the production team, and real people living in Kamagasaki. The film was shot in 16mm in attempt to capture the special atmosphere of Kamagasaki, its smells and its aura, as well as people's breath and heartbeat. All in all, the real subject of the film is the town of Kamagasaki itself. The production of Kamagasaki – The Great Cauldron War was made possible by the collaborative relations nurtured in the Nakazaki-cho Documentary Space (NDS), where all members contribute to making films directed by other members. This assumes a de-hierarchized collaboration among all, wherein all are directors and production assistants at the same time. This group persists in guerrilla screenings across the world, focusing on small enclaves of radicals. Please join us.

The DNC does not recognize that the climate crisis is an all-encompassing issue that affects every facet of life on this planet. Therefore, the issue deserves its own debate. We need to know which presidential candidate is going to put forth the policies to address this crisis, and half an hour of shallow discussion does not give us those answers. The DNC must take on the necessary leadership to demonstrate the scale of the climate crisis to the public by hosting its own #ClimateDebate. Particularly, Jay Jacobs, chair of New York State's DNC, has refused to meet with us or confirm his vote. Alongside being the chairman, Jay runs camps for kids, who are the most affected by climate change! He hasn't met with us because he's at camp, even though we've offered to call, and even come up to him! Sunrise Long Island came to his Nassau county office, and now we're coming to NYC. We need to ensure that Jay hears us loud and clear: we need strong leadership to fight the climate crisis. The CLCPA was only the beginning, and we need the DNC to stand unified alongside NY democrats and support bold climate action. #WheresJay ??? Sunrise hubs all across New York state are gathering for a raucous rally on 8/13 outside of the DNC headquarters on 420 Lexington Avenue. With your help, we will pressure NY’s members of the DNC, particularly Jay, to vote for a climate debate when the DNC gathers in San Francisco on August 22-24. RSVP, spread the word, and help us give the climate crisis the critical attention it deserves! . .

This moment emphasized how far we’ve come and how much work we have ahead. We hope you’ll join Newark Communities for Accountable Policing (N-CAP) for an event looking back at that progress and the work still remaining - “Ferguson! Michael Brown! Five years later - where are we now?” taking place at the Newark Public Library, Aug. 14 at 6 p.m. We’ve made significant progress in Newark’s push for strong oversight by the people, for the people. We have one of the strongest civilian complaint review boards in the country, and now is the time to put it in motion. A historic court opinion at the Appellate Division this summer means that the CCRB will maintain the power to bring real accountability. The court’s decision affirmed the city’s right to establish a CCRB, and preserved the CCRB’s original structure and functions with two exceptions: one regarding confidentiality and another regarding the police chief’s own power to investigate. Some more recent news made that victory even more powerful. The Fraternal Order of Police, the union that had brought the lawsuit challenging the CCRB, filed paperwork asking the court to delay the CCRB’s work during the next steps of their challenge. The Appellate Division said no, and last week denied a request for the CCRB’s work to be halted. While there are still legal battles to be won, the CCRB can move forward. And N-CAP will continue our advocacy and community engagement to hold the Newark Police Department accountable. From N-CAP organizer Zayid Muhammad: “The Appellate Division’s affirmation of the CCRB’s powers have answered Newark community members’ call for justice. Despite the recent filing by the FOP to appeal this decision to the state high court, N-CAP will continue to fight for community oversight of our police department, as we have dared to envision and embody that oversight. We insist that the time has come for CCRBs like ours to truly have genuine authority to make that accountability real." “Newark’s residents have always led the fight for justice and the creation of the CCRB. The Appellate Division’s affirmation is a big step in the march towards victory. NCAP will always keep the community’s voice at forefront of this struggle.” Maria Lopez-Nunez, Director of Environmental Justice and Community Development, Ironbound Community Corporation. "The people of Newark have been demanding a police review board for nearly 60 years. The Justice Department report said that the Newark Police needed civilian oversight. The continued efforts of the FOP to stop the review board in the courts is an unjust and undemocratic attempt to subvert the will of the citizens of Newark." Lawrence Hamm, Chairman, People’s Organization for Progress. We hope you’ll join N-CAP in reflecting on what we’ve accomplished so far and where we need to go on August 14, at 6 pm at the Newark Public Library for the event: “Ferguson! Michael Brown! Five years later- Where are we now?” We hope to see you there. Keep on fighting the good fight! We need you here with us to bring real reform.

CAIR-NY and allies will be calling for police accountability and transparency. WHAT: Press Conference Announcing NYPD Misconduct Complaints and Call for Accountability and Transparency WHERE: NYPD Headquarters, 1 Police Plaza WHEN: Thursday, August 15, 10am WHO: CAIR-NY; Allies; and Complainants Abrar Chowdhury (and his family) and Rayhanah Alhanafi.

Abrar was attacked by a 35-40-year-old Hispanic male and other teenagers. Abrar suffered serious bodily harm requiring surgery and a 3-day hospital stay. Abrar had 4 titanium plates inserted in his face. The NYPD did not notify the family of the case closure and stopped communicating with the family after Abrar failed the photo lineup. The family contacted NYPD with case leads but has received no response. SEE: Photos of Abrar’s Injuries at https://www.cair-ny.org/abrar-photos-of-injury Rayhanah Alhanafi: Rayhanah is an African American Muslim woman. Rayhanah was pulled over for a traffic violation. NYPD Officers sought to arrest and search her. Rayhanah did not protest the arrest but informed the Officers that she was Muslim and requested a female officer to pat and search her in accordance with her religious beliefs. Rayhanah was surrounded by 4 male officers. Once Rayhanah took a step backwards, the male officers grabbed and threw her to the ground. One officer placed his knees on her upper back/neck and his hands around her throat. During the assault, Rayhanah pleaded with officer to “stop,” “that hurts,” and “I can’t breathe.” Officers only relented once bystanders started filming and yelling for them to stop. Thereafter, she was denied medical treatment. Rayhanah suffered a hairline fracture in her neck. Rayhanah was charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Fatoumata Camara: A black Muslim woman that was victim of a hate crime of May 10, 2019. NYPD allegedly failed to investigate and prematurely closed the case. Camara investigated her own hate crime and NYPD was forced to re-open the investigation on June 7, 2019. However, NYPD has made no arrests since.

An July 11 and 18 Narcopolis Jeet Thayil Written in poetic and affecting prose, Jeet Thayil’s luminous debut novel charts the evolution of a great and broken metropolis across three decades. A rich, hallucinatory dream that captures Bombay in all its compelling squalor, Narcopolis completely subverts and challenges the literary traditions for which the Indian novel is celebrated. It is a book about drugs, sex, death, perversion, addiction, love, and God and has more in common in its subject matter with the work of William S. Burroughs or Baudelaire than with that of the subcontinent’s familiar literary lights. Above all, it is a fantastical portrait of a beautiful and damned generation in a nation about to sell its soul. July 25 and August 1 The Expendable Man Dorothy B. Hughes “It was surprising what old experiences remembered could do to a presumably educated, civilized man.” And Hugh Denismore, a young doctor driving his mother’s Cadillac from Los Angeles to Phoenix, is eminently educated and civilized. He is privileged, would seem to have the world at his feet, even. Then why does the sight of a few redneck teenagers disconcert him? Why is he reluctant to pick up a disheveled girl hitchhiking along the desert highway? And why is he the first person the police suspect when she is found dead in Arizona a few days later? Dorothy B. Hughes ranks with Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith as a master of mid-century noir. In books like In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse she exposed a seething discontent underneath the veneer of twentieth-century prosperity. With The Expendable Man, first published in 1963, Hughes upends the conventions of the wrong-man narrative to deliver a story that engages readers even as it implicates them in the greatest of all American crimes. August 8 and 15 The Instant Enemy Ross Macdonald Generations of murder, greed and deception come home to roost in time for the most shocking conclusion ever in a Lew Archer novel. At first glance, it’s an open-and-shut missing persons case: a headstrong daughter has run off to be with her hothead juvenile delinquent boyfriend. That is until this bush-league Bonnie & Clyde kidnap Stephen Hackett, a local millionaire industrialist. Now, Archer is offered a cool 100 Gs for his safe return by his coquettish heiress mother who has her own mysterious ties to this disturbed duo. But the deeper Archer digs, the more he realizes that nothing is as it seems and everything is questionable. Is the boyfriend a psycho ex-con with murder on the brain or a damaged youngster trying to straighten out his twisted family tree? August 22 and 29 The End of the Wasp Season Denise Mina When wealthy Sarah Erroll is murdered at her home in a posh part of Glasgow the local community is stunned. Heavily pregnant with desperately-wanted twins, DS Alex Morrow is called into a scene so violent that experienced officers can hardly bear to look. On the other side of town, Thomas Anderson is told by the headmaster at his boarding school that his tyrannical father – a banker responsible for the loss of many livelihoods in the recession – has hanged himself from the old oak tree on the lawn of their home. Thomas returns to the family home to find his mother and sister in a state of shock. The head of the household is dead, yet their initial reaction is not that of grief, but relief. As Alex Morrow makes the connections between the two cases, she faces her greatest challenge yet as her work and home lives collide with potentially disastrous consequences. September 12 and 19 Nada Jean-Patrick Manchette translated from the French by Donald Nicholson-Smith, with an introduction by Luc Sante Nada is the most overtly political of Jean-Patrick Manchette’s dark thrillers, a critique of the terrorism that tempted a sliver of the ultra-left in France (and elsewhere) in the wake of the disillusions of 1968. The novel chronicles the kidnapping and eventual killing of an American ambassador by an anarcho-terrorist group who have espoused armed struggle. A rough equivalent to this story might be the saga of the ill-fated Symbionese Liberation Army in California, whose fiery elimination is reminiscent of the police massacre of Manchette’s fictional direct-action group in Nada. The novel is in no sense a political pamphlet, however, and readers who have come to appreciate the very special qualities of Manchette’s writing, and the cool noir style that he inherits in part from Dashiell Hammett and calls “behaviorist,” will not be disappointed in the tour de force that is Nada. The MEP LITERATURE GROUP has been meeting to discuss literature since the first days of The Marxist Education Project. The group last year completed a second summer of readings of noir, considering works by Hammett, Chandler, Manchette, and others. Other studies have included novels related to World War I, the global depression of the 1930s, borders and migration, and the literature of mutually assured destruction and more.

Young Women of Color on Today’s Feminism! The NEW edition of Colonize This! Young Women of Color on Today’s Feminism! is a protest to the current political regime in our country. It is a response to the deportations of immigrant families, to the relentless killing of black people by police officers, and to the media outlets that describe the abuse of girls by old white men as ‘sexual encounters.’ This book, being as it is a gathering of young women of color sharing their experiences and intellectual insights, stands in defiance of what is happening in the courts, in Washington, and on the streets of our country. The first edition of Colonize This! was released in 2002, in the aftermath of 9/11. It became an instant classic in women’s studies programs and a lodestar for a generation of Black, Asian, and Latinx activists. After the 2016 election and the chaos and destruction that has ensued, Hernández and Rehman realized it was time to bring the original voices in Colonize This! along with NEW voices from the next generation of young women of color back into the public discourse. RESERVE A SEAT! $5 SUGGESTED DONATION \| OPEN TO THE PUBLIC This edition includes nine new essayists, writing on topics from gun violence to trans motherhood; serving as an abortion doula, to organizing migrants; navigating call-out culture as a transgender Latina to challenging rape culture on campus. It is an empowering survey of feminism as practiced by women of color and a clarion call for the next generation. Join us to celebrate the writers in Colonize This! and our collective resistance. Come out to meet the new essayists along with original contributors and editors during this special evening at the Asian American Writers’ workshop.

Banner and Prop-making for Rally to Save the Gardens Sunday, Aug. 18 at 4:00 to 8:00 PM Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (155 Ave C, between E. 9th & E. 10th St., 1st Fl.) Our community gardens are under threat again. This time not from bulldozers, but from rules under a new GreenThumb licensing agreement that, if the gardeners sign, will change the focus of community gardens forever. In April, community gardeners were given a new four-year license agreement that substantially changes their relationship. Under the new license, GreenThumb becomes an enforcement agency rather than a garden-friendly helpmate. This new license imposes new regulations, restrictions, and obligations on garden groups. It was written by lawyers with no sense of the historical and cultural significance of the gardens and their communities. Many of the gardens were started by community members clearing abandoned lots and transforming them into green, sustainable community gathering spaces. We need your help to keep these spaces run by community members, as they've always been. Since 1978, community gardeners and GreenThumb have enjoyed a very fruitful relationship. Gardeners have voluntarily given their time, labor, and money to be stewards of the City`s property, so that the entire community can benefit from these much-needed green spaces. We have tried to negotiate changes to the license; we want to continue to work toward a better license. But the City is threatening garden groups with a lockout. At a Town Hall in May, gardeners voted unanimously to not sign the license. In the past 40 years there has never been widespread opposition to garden licenses. Under this new licensing agreement, sustainable workshops and school programing that have always been strongly supported by the community gardens will have to apply for a permit for their events far in advance and wait until their content is approved. This is totally ridiculous. It is vital that you spread the word about what GreenThumb is attempting to do and boycott them in every way possible until they drop this unnecessary licensing agreement. Get on social media right now and start. Don't Let GreenThumb divide us. Community Gardens shall ALWAYS have the right to host free, public community events WITHOUT a permit or permission. Time's Up!

NOTE: We will not be able to ship out any of our online orders until after August 20 this month! Resist Recycle Regenerate 反对－回收－再生 Apply to be a part of our third Year Cohort Now! APPlication deadline extended to august 19 About Resist Recycle Regenerate 反对－回收－再生 Resist Recycle Regenerate is a youth program that seeks to intersect art and activism through building women-centric leadership within the Chinatown community. RRR’s youth mentorship program model promotes young women as leaders and role models to inspire growth and leadership development in their peers through artmaking. Former fellows can become program leaders, mentoring and guiding the next cohort of younger fellows. The program is organized into three main phases: in the first phase, former fellows teach the incoming cohort how to make paper out of recycled confetti collected during the annual Lunar New Year Parade. Every year, RRR invites volunteers to help collect discarded confetti fireworks, engaging the community to join in the process of recycling confetti into new creative materials. The first phase also consists of inviting guest artists to teach various artmaking skills (such as paper-cut and calligraphy) so that fellows can reclaim cultural practices and artmaking in a women-led space. In the second phase of the program, the program leaders teach the current fellows how to facilitate and lead papermaking workshops for the community. In the past, we have conducted fellow-led workshops for seniors (Henry St. Settlement’s Abrons Art Center), LGBT+ organizations (Q-Wave), and other community institutions (Museum of Chinese in the Americas). The third phase of the program synthesizes the skills, experiences, and interests that have been fostered throughout the year. Program leaders guide the current cohort through the process of creating final projects that incorporate the handmade confetti paper and apply the artmaking skills learned during the first phase of the program. These projects engage with themes of personal and collective migration stories, Chinatown history, daughterhood, and diasporic belonging. Fellows have the opportunity to share and discuss their projects with the community by displaying their work in the store during the final showcase. The showcase provides a space for the fellows and program leaders to collectively reflect on their growth and development as artists, young leaders, and community members who are invested in the past, present, and future of Chinatown. ABOUT the Resist Recycle Regenerate Team Mei Lum is the fifth-generation owner of her family’s 94-year-old porcelain ware business and the oldest operating store in New York City's Chinatown, Wing on Wo & Co. (W.O.W). In early 2016, her family’s building and business was on the brink of sale. In an effort to resist against contributing to the process of gentrification in Chinatown, Mei decided to take on the role of running W.O.W to continue her family’s five-generation-long legacy in the neighborhood and help protect the heart of Chinatown from encroaching gentrifying forces. Since May 2016, Mei has been working to bring community members’ concerns of a rapidly changing Chinatown into a space for dialogue through her work with The W.O.W Project, a community initiative reclaiming ownership over Chinatown's future by reviving, protecting and encouraging Chinatown's creative culture through arts, culture and activism. Mei was a National Art Strategies’ Creative Community Fellow in 2017 and is currently a Metropolitan Museum of the Arts Civic Practice Seminar Fellow. Juliet Phillips, artist & graphic designer, is a practicing and teaching artist from Brooklyn, NY whose work follows a narrative that winds its way through painting, papermaking, animation, illustration and installation. She has taught a wide range of artmaking methods such as printmaking, animation, story-telling, mixed media and papermaking to children of all ages at museums, non-profit community art spaces and workshops. Juliet’s work can be seen here: jrp.cool Resist Recycle Regenerate 2018-2019 Fellows Angela Chan is fluent in Cantonese and English and loves learning new languages during her free time. Angela is excited to be part of RRR to have the opportunity to connect with her Asian roots while promoting the project’s mission through art making. She hopes to transfer the skills and knowledge she gains during her time as an RRR fellow to community activism efforts outside of Chinatown. Bonnie Chen is a seventeen year old Asian- American student. She is interested in the intersection of global health and international affairs as well as studying East Asian culture. Bonnie’s aim to join RRR is to expand her role in the community as an activist and to learn more about how she can further use her skills to organize and help bridge the gap between different communities. Bonnie hopes that through RRR, she can both find her creative side in crafts as well as learning to grow through experiences and gaining a deeper understanding of her own heritage and values. Serena Yang is a high school senior from Queens and Singapore, where she was born. She is very interested in the intersection of art and social impact, and she joined RRR to try unfamiliar artmaking methods, learn about grassroots organizing, and expose herself to Asian American narratives that may not follow her own. She loves queer and WOC superheroes, slam poetry, and graphic design. Lokyee Yan is a Chinese American high school senior.

RALLY Agenda View * JUSTICE FOR ERIC GARNER! RALLY August 19, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 4:00 pm Subject: Daniel Pantaleo Fired for Killing Eric Garner -- Rally at 4PM at 1 Police Plaza From: "Nick Encalada-Malinowski" <nick@vocal-ny.org> Date: 8/19/2019, 3:19 PM To: nyprotest eventslist <nyprotestsubscriptions@gmail.com> Today the NYPD fired officer Daniel Pantaleo five years after he killed Eric Garner. This would not have happened without years of organizing and continued, relentless pressure on the de Blasio adminstration. Today at 4:00 PM we will join our allies at Communities United for Police Reform at 1 Police Plaza to demand accountability. Today is not the end of this story. Please join us at 1 Police Plaza and see below our statement on today's news.

Particularly alarming are Mayor de Blasio’s efforts to reduce transparency and accountability at the NYPD during his time in office. Eric Garner was killed by an NYPD officer for simply standing on a street corner -- and there is no process through which a single officer losing his job -- after continuing to work and receive paychecks for five years--can be considered an adequate response or somehow “justice.” Immediately, the NYPD must also fire the officers that stood by while Pantaleo choked Eric Garner to death as well as those officers that made false reports about the incident in attempts to justify it or cover it up. Today must not be considered the conclusion of this tragedy, but rather a first step towards addressing the on-going crisis of transparency and accountability at the NYPD and unravelling the current reality where the police are among the most powerful political forces in New York City and individual officers consider themselves to be above the law.” ### 80-A Fourth Ave. \| Brooklyn, NY 11217 \| 718-802-9540 tel \| 718-228-2477 fax [web] www.vocal-ny.org [email] info@vocal-ny.org [twitter] @VOCALNewYork [facebook] www.facebook.com/VOCALNY * JUSTICE FOR ERIC GARNER!

We argue about whether it’s at risk, whether college students fear it, whether neo-Nazis deserve it, and whether the government is adequately upholding it. But as writer & journalist P. E. Moskowitz (How to Kill a City) shows in 'The Case Against Free Speech', the term has been defined and redefined to suit those in power, and in recent years, it has been captured by the right to push their agenda. What’s more, our investment in the First Amendment obscures an uncomfortable truth: free speech is impossible in an unequal society where a few corporations and the ultra-wealthy bankroll political movements, millions of voters are disenfranchised, and our government routinely silences critics of racism and capitalism. Moskowitz will be joined in discussion by Jake Flores, creator and host of radical political comedy podcast Pod Damn America. /// P. E. Moskowitz is the author of How to Kill a City. A former staff writer for Al Jazeera America, they have written for publications such as the Guardian, The New York Times, TheNewYorker.com, New Republic, Wired, Slate, Buzzfeed, Splinter, & Vice. A graduate of Hampshire College and the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, they live in New Orleans. Jake Flores’ material has gotten him raided by the government, retweeted by everyone from Tom Morello to Bette Midler, and published in The New York Times. His stuff has been quoted on CNN by Wolf Blitzer and taught at Yale. He has appeared on The Majority Report, Chapo Trap House, Cumtown, Fun Fun Fun Fest, SXSW, Comedy Central’s Roast Battle, Comedy Cellar Radio and has been shouted out on The Joe Rogan Experience and The Doug Stanhope Podcast. He has toured around the country and opened for Doug Stanhope, Tig Notaro, Greg Fitzsimmons, Jim Norton, Felipe Esparza and Patton Oswalt. He’s signed to Stand Up!

COST: Free Many imprisoned anarchists will never be acknowledged as ‘political prisoners’ by formal human-rights organizations, because their sense of social justice is strictly limited to the capitalist laws which are designed to defend the State and prevent any real social change. At the same time, even within our individual communities, we know so little about the repression that exists in other countries. So it is with that that NYC ABC answers the call for a week of international solidarity with anarchist political prisoners by writing to them as part of our every-other-week political prisoner letter-writing dinner. Here in the states, folks are being persecuted for possibly even associating with anarchists or anti-fascists. Around the globe, the state and capital collude in much the same way, and as a result rebels are imprisoned for acting on their desire for a free world. Please join us in sending cards to these imprisoned comrades. We’ll see you at supper! The deal, as always, is that you come bringing only yourself (and your friends and comrades), and we provide you with a delicious vegan meal, information about the prisoners as well as all of the letter-writing materials and prisoner-letter-writing info you could ever want to use in one evening. In return, you write a thoughtful letter to a political prisoner or prisoner of war of your choosing or, better yet, keep up a long-term correspondence. We’ll also provide some brief updates and pass around birthday cards for the PP/POWs whose birthdays fall in the next two weeks thanks to the PP/POW Birthday Calendar. Directions: Getting to The Base is simple: >From the M Train: Central Avenue Stop: Walk east on Myrtle Avenue (away from Hart Street, toward Cedar Street). We’re about two blocks down on the south side of the street. Knickerbocker Avenue Stop: Walk west on Myrtle Avenue (away from Harman Street, toward Himrod Street). We’re about three blocks down on the south side of the street. >From the L Train: DeKalb Avenue Stop: Walk south on Stockholm Street (away from Wyckoff Avenue, toward Irving Avenue). We’re about four blocks down, at the intersection of Stockholm Street and Myrtle Avenue. >From the J Train: Myrtle Avenue Stop: Transfer to the M train and follow the above directions.

The past few years have been a whirlwind: exhausting, invigorating, and ripe with potential. It’s tremendously difficult, when in the thick of it, to pause, reflect, or even find a moment to catch a breath. Especially when “it” refers to the rise of fascism on a global scale, with any number of future cataclysms hovering just over the horizon. But we digress. Join us, then, for a series that asks: if not now, when? Come for great works of radical political filmmaking, stay for the generative discussions, or even just to gossip and gripe. The hope is that this forum for authentic representations of successes, defeats, and the messy work of political action, will be thrilling, edifying, and maybe even inspire your next organizing project.

The United States is reeling under extreme flooding events that are causing devastation to Midwestern farmlands. A fire larger than Belgium is burning in the Siberian Arctic. Greenland lost enough ice in July to cover Florida in 6 feet of water. Europe and India have experienced unprecedented high temperatures this summer. The Amazon rainforest, which regulates the stability of earth's biosphere, is under renewed assault by Brazilian President Bolsonaro. A single fire in California, the Paradise fire, put so much carbon into the atmosphere that it wiped out all the gains of California's combined climate initiatives last year. The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is issuing dire warnings about the state of our planet. Scientists concede that climate tipping points are arriving far sooner than predicted. We are glad that Rep. Eliot Engel (NYCD-16) co-sponsored the Ocasio-Cortez/Markey Green New Deal resolution last February, announcing his support just before a large rally by a coalition of local organizations at his office. However, we need ongoing leadership on the climate emergency from him. On July 9, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Senator Bernie Sanders and others introduced joint Congressional resolutions declaring the sense of Congress that we are in a climate emergency and must act with appropriate speed and urgency. The Climate Mobilization has issued a national call asking people to request co-sponsorship of H. Con. Res. 52 by their representatives and vigorous climate leadership across the board, during the August Congressional recess. On August 12, Rep. Engel was listed as a co-sponsor of H. Con. Res. 52. We applaud this step, and we have more to ask of him. Please join a rally outside Rep. Engel's Riverdale, Bronx office calling on him to: 1. Follow up on his co-sponsorship of H. Con. Res. 52 by working to persuade his colleagues, including those in the centrist New Democrat Coalition, to sign on to the resolution. 2. Ask the House leadership and leadership of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis to hold hearings on the climate emergency. 3. Work with his colleagues in the House Energy & Commerce Committee to hold hearings on H. Con. Res. 52. 4. Stop accepting campaign contributions from General Atomics, which constructs nuclear power plants and killer drones, many other weapons manufacturers, including Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Honeywell (wars are caused by and cause climate change), and from the Teamsters, which fights vigorously on behalf of fossil fuel infrastructure projects across the United States. 5. Take the national "No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge." We'll deliver hundreds of constituent petitions asking Mr. Engel to take the Pledge. 6. Join the Sunrise Movement in demanding that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hold a presidential debate on the climate crisis, and cease threatening presidential candidates that they will be barred from future DNC debates if they participate in a non-DNC-sponsored climate debate. 7. Listen to social movements and social movement coalitions such as It Takes Roots, and magnify their voices in Congressional hearings and work on construction of a Green New Deal. Please join us on Wednesday, August 21 from 4-5 pm, as we gather outside Mr. Engel's office to make our requests.

Fitzgerald and educator and organizer Ciara Taylor on the life of Gloria Richardson and her legacy for political action today. Many prominent and well-known figures greatly impacted the civil rights movement, but one of the most influential and unsung leaders of that period was Gloria Richardson. As the leader of the Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee (CNAC), a multifaceted liberation campaign formed to target segregation and racial inequality in Cambridge, Maryland, Richardson advocated for economic justice and tactics beyond nonviolent demonstrations. Her philosophies and strategies—including her belief that black people had a right to self–defense—were adopted, often without credit, by a number of civil rights and black power leaders and activists. .

Join us on Wednesday to learn how to build on this momentum by getting involved with Close the Camps and the Evict ICE campaign in NYC. If ICE has nowhere to work, then they can no longer detain immigrants, separate families, and keep the concentration camps on the border. Together, we will Evict ICE from NYC, and Abolish ICE completely.

Revolution in our time!” This comes directly from right-wing localist politicians, who popularized the slogan during their 2016 electoral campaign. They have made crystal clear what they mean by ‘reclaiming Hong Kong’ by deploying racist slurs against Han Chinese and openly pining for a return to British colonialism. When protesters stormed the Legislative Council on July 1 and hoisted the old British colonial flag over their legislature, they removed all doubt over who is really calling the shots. https://www.fightbacknews.org/2019/8/17/hong-kong-protests-are-attack-socialism Workers World Party — The corporate media in the U.S. and Europe have enthusiastically reported on the Hong Kong protests, in stark contrast to the meager, often critical coverage of mass protests in Gaza, Honduras, Sudan, Yemen, France or the recent general strike in Brazil. The difference in coverage exposes a difference in the forces behind the protests, a difference in who stands to benefit from them. https://www.workers.org/2019/06/30/u-s-role-in-hong-kong-protests/ Workers World Party — The demonstrations in Hong Kong, now an open confrontation with the People’s Republic of China, have a global impact. What are the forces behind this movement?

Our aim is to bring together members of grassroots groups and the politically-engaged public to sharpen our strategies, celebrate our wins, and strengthen our movements for transformative change. For our inaugural gathering, we’re thrilled to partner with Housing Justice for All, the people power behind the recent massively historic victory for tenants rights across New York State. Come learn how they beat back the landlord lobby, how this movement expanded the horizon of what’s politically possible, and learn what is next in the struggle to make the universal right to housing a reality. HOW THE BREAKING BREAD SERIES WORKS: During each gathering, the partner group has 30 minutes to present their victories, challenges, and lessons learned with those assembled. This is a chance to create connections between issues, and for organizations to solicit volunteers, donors or campaign advice (if desired) in whatever format they choose. The Mayday crew then serves a free, home-cooked meal during which conversations on movement strategy and community-building continue around the dinner table. MORE ABOUT THIS MONTH’S PARTNER: Housing Justice for All is a campaign led by the Upstate Downstate Housing Alliance. We are a diverse coalition of tenants, homeless people, manufactured housing residents, and advocates. We are united in our fight for stronger tenant protections, an end to evictions, and an end to homelessness in New York. ACCESSIBILITY: Childcare and Spanish interpretation available. This event is taking place on Mayday’s 3rd floor Great Hall up two flights (unfortunately no elevator). RSVP: Please use the WithFriends link above (click “tickets”) to secure your seat at the table.

We will work from conception of a story idea, through execution, to getting your story published. Students will spend eight weeks (each class is 3 hours) developing a personal project that has resonance with larger social matters. The class will incorporate photo critiques on student’s weekly assignments designed for real world learning. These assignments allow students to pursue individual learning opportunities that are unique to their interests through field practice.

An July 11 and 18 Narcopolis Jeet Thayil Written in poetic and affecting prose, Jeet Thayil’s luminous debut novel charts the evolution of a great and broken metropolis across three decades. A rich, hallucinatory dream that captures Bombay in all its compelling squalor, Narcopolis completely subverts and challenges the literary traditions for which the Indian novel is celebrated. It is a book about drugs, sex, death, perversion, addiction, love, and God and has more in common in its subject matter with the work of William S. Burroughs or Baudelaire than with that of the subcontinent’s familiar literary lights. Above all, it is a fantastical portrait of a beautiful and damned generation in a nation about to sell its soul. July 25 and August 1 The Expendable Man Dorothy B. Hughes “It was surprising what old experiences remembered could do to a presumably educated, civilized man.” And Hugh Denismore, a young doctor driving his mother’s Cadillac from Los Angeles to Phoenix, is eminently educated and civilized. He is privileged, would seem to have the world at his feet, even. Then why does the sight of a few redneck teenagers disconcert him? Why is he reluctant to pick up a disheveled girl hitchhiking along the desert highway? And why is he the first person the police suspect when she is found dead in Arizona a few days later? Dorothy B. Hughes ranks with Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith as a master of mid-century noir. In books like In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse she exposed a seething discontent underneath the veneer of twentieth-century prosperity. With The Expendable Man, first published in 1963, Hughes upends the conventions of the wrong-man narrative to deliver a story that engages readers even as it implicates them in the greatest of all American crimes. August 8 and 15 The Instant Enemy Ross Macdonald Generations of murder, greed and deception come home to roost in time for the most shocking conclusion ever in a Lew Archer novel. At first glance, it’s an open-and-shut missing persons case: a headstrong daughter has run off to be with her hothead juvenile delinquent boyfriend. That is until this bush-league Bonnie & Clyde kidnap Stephen Hackett, a local millionaire industrialist. Now, Archer is offered a cool 100 Gs for his safe return by his coquettish heiress mother who has her own mysterious ties to this disturbed duo. But the deeper Archer digs, the more he realizes that nothing is as it seems and everything is questionable. Is the boyfriend a psycho ex-con with murder on the brain or a damaged youngster trying to straighten out his twisted family tree? August 22 and 29 The End of the Wasp Season Denise Mina When wealthy Sarah Erroll is murdered at her home in a posh part of Glasgow the local community is stunned. Heavily pregnant with desperately-wanted twins, DS Alex Morrow is called into a scene so violent that experienced officers can hardly bear to look. On the other side of town, Thomas Anderson is told by the headmaster at his boarding school that his tyrannical father – a banker responsible for the loss of many livelihoods in the recession – has hanged himself from the old oak tree on the lawn of their home. Thomas returns to the family home to find his mother and sister in a state of shock. The head of the household is dead, yet their initial reaction is not that of grief, but relief. As Alex Morrow makes the connections between the two cases, she faces her greatest challenge yet as her work and home lives collide with potentially disastrous consequences. September 12 and 19 Nada Jean-Patrick Manchette translated from the French by Donald Nicholson-Smith, with an introduction by Luc Sante Nada is the most overtly political of Jean-Patrick Manchette’s dark thrillers, a critique of the terrorism that tempted a sliver of the ultra-left in France (and elsewhere) in the wake of the disillusions of 1968. The novel chronicles the kidnapping and eventual killing of an American ambassador by an anarcho-terrorist group who have espoused armed struggle. A rough equivalent to this story might be the saga of the ill-fated Symbionese Liberation Army in California, whose fiery elimination is reminiscent of the police massacre of Manchette’s fictional direct-action group in Nada. The novel is in no sense a political pamphlet, however, and readers who have come to appreciate the very special qualities of Manchette’s writing, and the cool noir style that he inherits in part from Dashiell Hammett and calls “behaviorist,” will not be disappointed in the tour de force that is Nada. The MEP LITERATURE GROUP has been meeting to discuss literature since the first days of The Marxist Education Project. The group last year completed a second summer of readings of noir, considering works by Hammett, Chandler, Manchette, and others. Other studies have included novels related to World War I, the global depression of the 1930s, borders and migration, and the literature of mutually assured destruction and more.

On Friday, August 23 , Trump's lawyers (Consovoy McCarthy Park) will represent the Trumps and Trump Org. in the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. They will try to prevent Deutsche Bank and Capital One from complying with "friendly" subpoenas from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Committee on Financial Services. The House requested the information to follow up on allegations of money laundering, bank fraud, and tax fraud. Filing this appeal, to prevent compliance, is part of Trump's pattern of refusal to comply with requests for information about his finances and his taxes. He is refusing to recognize the right of the House of Representatives to hold hearings and have oversight. This is a direct challenge to the checks and balances of branches of the government.

This year, join the Party for Socialism and Liberation for Women Equality Day mobilizations across the country between Friday, August 23 and Monday, August 26. We know that an organized women’s movement is the only way we can win back our rights, and fight back against the brutal nature of patriarchy and capitalism. It was an organized movement that won women's right to vote, just as it was a militant, organized women’s movement that won the Roe v. Wade decision 50 years later. As the campaign against access to abortion has shifted to an outright campaign to overturn Roe v. Wade. We must keep the history of the militant legacy of the women's movement at the core of our struggle today! Fill out this form to submit your event for us to list. Do you like this post?

Indentured & Remembered is an organization working to share stories, build community, and offer visibility to those with South Asian indentured ancestries. Through food, art, and conversation we will explore how colonization works to erase our narrative - from Guyana, Fiji, Trinidad, Mauritius, Jamaica, Grenada, Suriname, etc. - and uncover the nuanced, vast, and vibrant story of our roots. Together we will shift from generational trauma towards generational healing, in a practice based on remembrance, pride, kinship, and knowledge. In our first installment, we will be offering a panel, discussion, art installations, food, and music to engage all the senses to acknowledge where we come from, and why we should be proud to be US. All funds and donations raised for this event will go right back into I&R programming - which includes paying speakers and artists, funding future events, making sure you all are fed, etc. Check out @indenturedandremembered on Instagram or email indenturedandremembered@gmail.com for more info.

(more details on the route soon) The Amazon Rainforest, the largest in the world, is BURNING! Literally hundreds of acres of forest are disappearing rapidly. And this is due to the opening of the gates of hatred caused by Jair Bolsonaro, President of Brazil, an extreme-right wing climate change denier. Big farmers, and agribusiness , are setting fire to large swaths of Brazil that include the Amazon, the Pantanal (or swamp region) of Mato Grosso, a very rich and biodiverse region, and portions of other regions, to clear for cattle raising and soybean planting. They are also burning down entire indigenous villages and killing indigenous peoples. Their president (not ours!) incited violence and opened up the land for exploitation. Bolsonaro's government has also made clear they will lift sanctions for illegal mining, which is killing indigenous groups by poisoning their water with mercury, bringing diseases, and assassinating indigenous leaders further North. Deforestation is happening four times faster than last year As shown in the news, people are having breathing problems as far as in the States in Minas Gerais and São Paulo, due to the smoke and particles traveling through all the way to the southeast region. The government tried to dismiss saying there were storm clouds but this is dry season in the region. The day turned into night on Monday at 3PM with ashes and smoke, and there was no denying it. PLEASE JOIN US - this will be the beginning of a series of actions that will continue in September against Bolsonaro and for the Climate, around the U.N. Climate Summit and we need you there, holding signs, chanting, distributing flyers. #savetheAmazon #stopFascism #cancelBolsonaro #protectourfuture Recent Posts Extinction Rebellion Amazônia — Unite!

No one is denied admission for inability to pay. Panel Discussion with Salonee Bhaman, George Caffentzis, Silvia Federici, Gabriel Rockhill and others. with workshops on developing and defending areas of opposition to and transition from capital. At this late and moribund stage of capitalist development nothing is sacred to profit making as the capitalists deforest the Amazon and exploit the deepest marine life of the Marianna Trench. Meanwhile, the working classes the world over are engaged of necessity in an array of movements in opposition to these life-destroying practices. Nonetheless, workers deliver through their labors—which they must sell in order to survive, losing control over the use of their labor power in this act of selling—the means by which capital is digitally speeding us towards a metabolic endgame. Each decade going forward will lead to the demise of ever more species from the microbial to fully sentient beings like ourselves, all the result of the insatiable proliferation of the capitalists pursuit for ever greater profit and continuous expanding accumulation of their money capital even if to do so requires the end of life on this planet as we know it. In response to this, The Marxist Education Project is closing this summer and revving up to meet the challenges of 2020 with an inaugural event on Global Capital and the Fight to End It. We will begin on August 24 with an afternoon panel with Salonee Bhaman, George Caffentzis, Silvia Federici, Gabriel Rockhill and others, followed by evening workshop discussions. The focus of the workshop discussions is to identify what needs to be done to support, build, develop and defend the developing arenas of working class and dispossessed peoples resistance, towards nurturing a unified counter-capitalist force that can be sustained locally, nationally, and in solidarity with the struggles of our brothers and sisters throughout the world. The various workshops will be meeting grounds to identify areas where working classes the world over are organizing resistance and the new left re/formations as collectives, parties, and political spaces are forming. To do this, in the workshops we will explore the array of struggles around such concerns as education, housing, healthcare, jobs, libraries, preservation of natural resources and species, climate, poverty and hunger, return of epidemics like measles, the needs of the aging and physically or emotionally disabled, and the continued divisions and discriminations within our class be it sexism, race, ethic/national/religious origins, gender identity, that only serve to enable increasing exploitation of the class as a whole. We will also identify the existing and developing meeting spaces for collectives, parties, and political discussion and organizing like the many that are growing in New York City such as Verso Space, Flux Factory, The People’s Forum, MayDay Space, Woodbine, Starr Bar, Bluestockings, The Base, Interference Archive, The Marxist Education Project, Rosa Luxemburg Institute, Brooklyn Institute, Jacobin and Nation reading groups, The Institute for the Radical Imagination, Red Bloom, Democracy at Work, DSA, the self-identified cadre political parties and other locales and organizations. To counter this stage of a rapacious dying capitalism that requires ever-deeper exploitation of workers and nature, we propose to explore where our class has been staking out, claiming and defending zones of liberation. We look to movements such as our own Occupy movement to the current Yellow Vest movement in France, the long-standing Zapatista opposition in Mexico that has secured liberated zones, the ZAD in France, and our own zones that we are staking out in our daily lives here, and other instances that panelists and attendess/participants will bring attention to. Salonee Bhaman is a PhD candidate in History at Yale University. Her research focuses on punitive welfare, housing, and austerity politics with particular attention towards questions of race, gender, migration, and care. Her dissertation in progress explores the first years of the AIDS epidemic with regards to the American welfare state—thinking through issues of care work, immigration policy, and intimate space. She has also done significant work on the struggles of women who are brought to the US for marriage, very often to extra-exploitative and isolated situations with little or no community to turn to for support. George Caffentzis is a political philosopher and autonomist Marxist. He was a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southern Maine and a founding member of the Midnight Notes Collective.

STOP killing animals for their fur". Prada was our main target last year. Along with other cities and campaigns pressuring the fashion designer, our collective efforts, store disruptions and winter long demos resulted in Prada finally ditching fur from their collections. It was a huge victory- countless animals were spared! Thank you to all who spoke up for the innocent victims of the fur trade -death trade! NEXT TARGET IS DOLCE & GABBANA! Goal: To consistently disrupt businesses who exploit and profit off the torture of defenseless animals like the gentle "Orylag Rabbits". These gentle beings are held captive in over 20 french fur farms, artificially inseminated repeatedly, raised from birth in dark filthy cages, then skinned for their dense and ultra soft fur - used by luxury fashion brands - DIOR, FENDI, D&G. Foxes are anally electrocuted on fur farms, also used by D&G. Let's unite to bring down this collapsing industry. Unite to empty the cages!! Some posters (plus banners) will be provided. If you have your own, please bring them. 2 large TV screens will be showing the gruesome truth of the fur industry. Whistles, drums, your loud voices are all needed. 75% of New Yorkers have voted in favor of Intro 1476, a bill which would make sales of NEW real fur illegal in NYC. Let's remind this blood money fueled industry that "animals are not fabrics, animal abusers are not welcome in NYC". Power in numbers! We ask all activist attending the Official Animal Rights March NYC to please UNITE, ATTEND and SCREAM for the countless fur bearing animals begging for mercy, senslessly killed for their fur in the most horrific ways- for nothing more than to decorate clothing apparel, home decor, to be worn as a social status, and vanity. We meet at 2:30 PM. We head out to our 1st destination by 3:00 PM sharp. All targets are in close vicinity of one another. Please be on time, we will be on the move. We'll go over details when we meet by the fountain. Many of you will be attending a vigil or other AR related events earlier... Awesome! We've made the time reasonably easy for all to attend this protest as well. This weekend is about activism for the victims, make it work. The easiest way to travel to the meet up location is by subway. Check the posted info including local train lines coming from Brooklyn, Queens, LI. This event is co-organized by myself, Robert Banks and international AR powerhouse, Jenny McQueen. Please be there for the animals!! See you in 2 weeks. Recent Posts Rachel J Levy Ejsmont — In case you are unaware, the MASSIVE Anti-Fur Protest is right after The Official Animal Rights March-NYC-2019 on 8/24/19. Please attend. You definitely don't want to miss it. The following day's demo, on 8/25/19 against D&G is "round 2 of the massive fur march". We are going "full throttle" to pressure D&G and other designers to drop the cruelty..all geared towards our upcoming winter long actions and campaign planned against D&G, just as we did with PRADA. Robert Banks will continue to target D& G in NYC. Jenny, Len Goldberg, Ashley Ollie are targeting D&G internationally for selling real animal fur.Hope you can make Sunday's protest (this event) as well.👇 https://www.facebook.com/events/892003394507493/?ti=clWe want to see all you beautiful animal defenders give hell to these animal torturers, disrupt their business, educate, speak up for the victims and share "their" event!

(https://forbes.com/sites/morgansimon/2019/08/09/pnc-bank-pulls-out-of-the-private-prison-industry/) We will not stand silent in the face of modern day state fascism, financing of concentration camps, and profiting off human misery. On Tuesday, August 27, the Metropolitan Anarchist Coordinating Council will be staging another round of #ShutDownICEProfiteers protests against banks that profiteer off the detention of migrants. We will meet at Bryant Park at 5pm and march to local bank branches, demanding that they divest from the private prison companies GEO Group and CoreCivic where migrants are being detained. On July 10, MACC shut down three PNC bank branches in midtown. This action was covered in the Pacific Standard: (https://psmag.com/social-justice/anti-ice-activists-target-pnc-bank-for-funding-private-detention-centers) . Weeks later, MACC repeated the action, entering the banks to educate customers and voice the demands to bank workers and managers. Many large banks have already divested from private prisons, and continued pressure can force the few remaining holdouts to do the right thing. To be clear, this is just one aspect of a larger abolitionist project – we do not differentiate between private and “public” prisons – and believe that community justice needs to replace our society of mass incarceration. However, we hope that by targeting weak links in this nation-wide campaign we can help to dry up funding for the infrastructure of mass detention. 70% of immigrant “detainees” are kept in private prisons. These contractors have every incentive to keep their beds full and their costs (therefore their services) to a minimum. This industry extracts profit from the most marginalized, thrives on misery and cannot function without the backing of banks, financiers and a host of prison profiteers. Together we can strike a blow against carceral capitalism and the cruelty of national borders. More information about the #ShutDownICEProfiteers campaign can be found in this article from It’s Going Down: https://itsgoingdown.org/shutdowniceprofiteers-moving-forward/ More detailed information about the financing structure of private prisons can be found here: (https://populardemocracy.org/sites/default/files/%28Updated%29%202019%20Data%20Brief%20The%20Wall%20Street%20Banks%20Still%20Financing%20Private%20Prisons%20FINAL%20EMBARGOED%20UNTIL%204-8-19%201030am.pdf) Metropolitan Anarchist Coordinating Council - MACC — Due to the PNC announcement to divest from the private prison industry, we will be changing our target to the next ICE profiteer.

Stop by to visit our current exhibition: Resistance Radio: The People’s Airwaves Exhibition dates: July 11 - Sept. ? , 2019 Interference Archive is pleased to show, Resistance Radio: The People’s Airwaves, which looks at the history of radio as a medium for grassroots movements and their organizing work. Radio has remained a consistently popular form of communication over the past decade, in part because of certain unique features: it is relatively cheap and accessible, it is a form of media that is inherently tied to its location and its local community, and it reaches populations not served by online media, including those for whom language or literacy is a barrier. Radio, both past and present, has been attractive to those who wish to embrace a DIY ethos and a spirit of resistance, and to others as a platform for community building and the development of a political consciousness. This exhibition focuses on radio endeavors created to reach communities not served by mainstream outlets. We’re interested in the people, stations, and organizations that have battled to bring their defiant programming onto the airwaves, and particularly in cases where these actions were in service of grassroots movements and/or community organizing. Resistance Radio: The People’s Airwaves tells some of the stories of these rebellious broadcasters. Read more on our website. Poster design by Peter Kaplan . Dig Deeper into Resistance Radio! Please enjoy this online complement to the upcoming Resistance Radio: The People's Airwaves (Jul. 11 – Sept. 29 ) showcasing the power of radio in the service of social movements and underrepresented communities. We’re sharing stories of the people, stations and organizations from around the world who have battled the system to bring their diverse programming onto the airwaves.

The purpose of the meeting will be: 1) To get an update from the Cuban Mission and for us to politically assess the current period, with the escalation by the Trump White House of anti-Cuban and anti-Venezuelan blockading measures following the failure and debacle of the bipartisan US attempted military coup in Venezuela. These include the ending of Title III waivers under the Helms-Burton blockade law which must be repealed; the halting of cruise ships stopping in Cuba; and the ending of the “people-to-people” travel category. There is also the drumbeat of bombast and threats, including threatening to seize Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba on the open seas. 2) To propose for discussion and support a package and series of activities starting this Fall and culminating in the 2nd National Conference for the Normalization of US-Cuba Relations in March 2020 in New York. This includes: the late-September visit of a “high-level” Cuban delegation to the opening of the UN General Assembly; the National Network on Cuba meeting in DC October 18-20; the Havana anti-imperialist Conference November 1-3 which US and NY-NJ area solidarity activists will be attending; the November 6 UN anti-blockade vote and local, national, and international protests; and the March 2020 National Cuba Conference in New York which will be publicly launched nationally around Labor Day at the beginning of September and which NY- NJ Cuba Si will have major political and organizational responsibilities. There will also be a proposal to set up a Cuba Si committee to bring forward and pass an anti-blockade Resolution in the NY City Council, as has been done in Detroit, Hartford, and other cities and solidarity forces in Chicago are also organizing to do do. Perhaps we can do the same in Newark and other cities in our area. So let’s prepare for an intense period of struggle against the blockade in the coming months into 2020!

An July 11 and 18 Narcopolis Jeet Thayil Written in poetic and affecting prose, Jeet Thayil’s luminous debut novel charts the evolution of a great and broken metropolis across three decades. A rich, hallucinatory dream that captures Bombay in all its compelling squalor, Narcopolis completely subverts and challenges the literary traditions for which the Indian novel is celebrated. It is a book about drugs, sex, death, perversion, addiction, love, and God and has more in common in its subject matter with the work of William S. Burroughs or Baudelaire than with that of the subcontinent’s familiar literary lights. Above all, it is a fantastical portrait of a beautiful and damned generation in a nation about to sell its soul. July 25 and August 1 The Expendable Man Dorothy B. Hughes “It was surprising what old experiences remembered could do to a presumably educated, civilized man.” And Hugh Denismore, a young doctor driving his mother’s Cadillac from Los Angeles to Phoenix, is eminently educated and civilized. He is privileged, would seem to have the world at his feet, even. Then why does the sight of a few redneck teenagers disconcert him? Why is he reluctant to pick up a disheveled girl hitchhiking along the desert highway? And why is he the first person the police suspect when she is found dead in Arizona a few days later? Dorothy B. Hughes ranks with Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith as a master of mid-century noir. In books like In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse she exposed a seething discontent underneath the veneer of twentieth-century prosperity. With The Expendable Man, first published in 1963, Hughes upends the conventions of the wrong-man narrative to deliver a story that engages readers even as it implicates them in the greatest of all American crimes. August 8 and 15 The Instant Enemy Ross Macdonald Generations of murder, greed and deception come home to roost in time for the most shocking conclusion ever in a Lew Archer novel. At first glance, it’s an open-and-shut missing persons case: a headstrong daughter has run off to be with her hothead juvenile delinquent boyfriend. That is until this bush-league Bonnie & Clyde kidnap Stephen Hackett, a local millionaire industrialist. Now, Archer is offered a cool 100 Gs for his safe return by his coquettish heiress mother who has her own mysterious ties to this disturbed duo. But the deeper Archer digs, the more he realizes that nothing is as it seems and everything is questionable. Is the boyfriend a psycho ex-con with murder on the brain or a damaged youngster trying to straighten out his twisted family tree? August 22 and 29 The End of the Wasp Season Denise Mina When wealthy Sarah Erroll is murdered at her home in a posh part of Glasgow the local community is stunned. Heavily pregnant with desperately-wanted twins, DS Alex Morrow is called into a scene so violent that experienced officers can hardly bear to look. On the other side of town, Thomas Anderson is told by the headmaster at his boarding school that his tyrannical father – a banker responsible for the loss of many livelihoods in the recession – has hanged himself from the old oak tree on the lawn of their home. Thomas returns to the family home to find his mother and sister in a state of shock. The head of the household is dead, yet their initial reaction is not that of grief, but relief. As Alex Morrow makes the connections between the two cases, she faces her greatest challenge yet as her work and home lives collide with potentially disastrous consequences. September 12 and 19 Nada Jean-Patrick Manchette translated from the French by Donald Nicholson-Smith, with an introduction by Luc Sante Nada is the most overtly political of Jean-Patrick Manchette’s dark thrillers, a critique of the terrorism that tempted a sliver of the ultra-left in France (and elsewhere) in the wake of the disillusions of 1968. The novel chronicles the kidnapping and eventual killing of an American ambassador by an anarcho-terrorist group who have espoused armed struggle. A rough equivalent to this story might be the saga of the ill-fated Symbionese Liberation Army in California, who
