BASTILLE DAY in Harrisburg with Ramona Africa: Paroling the MOVE 9 in 2008 BE47 2007-07-16 11:25 AM
Ramona Africa spoke in Harrisburg on July 14, "Bastille Day." She gave a wonderful history of the MOVE organization and gave a clear description of why the eight surviving MOVE 9 prisoners must be released from Pennsylvania's prison system in 2008. And why they need to be granted a new, fair trial. They have all been in jail for 300 years for one bullet, the sentencing judge admits he has no idea who who fired it. Yet they are all serving his 30-100 years sentence. Many are certain the bullet was actually fired by police, a horrible instance of "friendly fire." This "bastille Day" talk by Ramona is one of the best talks I have ever heard her give [and she sets a pretty high standard!]. Full extended versions of this talk should be available soon on CD. But for now, if you missed her talk, stream this! Peace if you can help finance the MOVE 9 legal defense, please make checks out to "MOVE." the address is: MOVE P.O. Box 19709  Philadelphia, PA 19143 (video/quicktime + 2 comments)

Stop Wooster Ohio pig torture PETA 2007-07-09 2:17 PM
Wooster is the most industry and medical establishment oriented community in Ohio. Malpractice attorneys hate to go there. Certified Angus Beef reigns seemingly supreme there. Nevertheless help the winds of change blow, and ask the judge not to enable animal torture. (text/plain + 1 comment)

Short video on the artistic practices of an (i)ndy media artist-activist. The video functions as a pseudo portrait of an imaginary-real artist that deals with a counter systemic way to produce art and communication in a urban setting in contemporary United States.

Protest against Bush at St.Vincent College Mena 2007-05-14 5:43 PM

People of good conscience, rally to protest Bush speaking at St. Vincent College. Shame on all thoes people who naively supported the invitation of Bush to deliver the commencement speech merely to brag that a "President" gave it. If, as many of you claimed that this event was "not about politics", then why invite a politician? In this time of national moral crisis you would have been better served by a poet.
