# Thu Sep. 12 7 pm Berkeley Clean Elections for a Change!
Ecology Center 2530 San Pablo (at Dwight Way) Berkeley
Election time is here again, prompting the question "If every candidate is
required to have bucket loads of corporate and PAC money to compete, does
it really matter which of their stooges I vote for?" "Democracy" becomes
ever more illusory as the electoral system enables these corporate
representatives to make decisions that deeply affect our lives. What are
the consequences? Corporate fraud, the energy crisis, and the
privatization and plundering of our common natural resources, to name a
few. What is being sacrificed? Our health, our ecosystems, our future
generations and our civil rights. Come join Robert Perez from the
California League of Conservation Voters and Gary Krane, Director of the
Fair Elections Speakers Bureau as they discuss "The Reform That Makes All
Others Possible: Publicly Funded Elections." They'll explain how the
public financing model is already working well in Maine and Arizona, how
the movement is developing here in California, as well as almost 40 other
states, and how you can help. (free) http://www.ecologycenter.org

# Thu Sep. 12 7:30 pm Berkeley Cody's Books 2454 Telegraph Ave.
Starhawk: "Webs of Power: Notes from the Global Uprising"
War rages in Palestine and looms in Iraq. World leaders seem unable to
look beyond retaliation, retribution, and destruction. To say "another
world is possible!" is a radical act. But what does that world look like,
how would it function and how would it be different from the rule of force
and the deification of profit that mark the current system? Starhawk has
been present at many of the major mobilizations against global corporate
capitalism. Her newest book, "Webs of Power: Notes from the Global
Uprising," tracks what the global justice movement stand for and wants,
and what we can do to make that vision real. info [at] codysbooks.com

# **BIG FOREST RALLY SEPTEMBER 15 TO SAVE THE MATTOLE**
Sun Sep 15, 12 noon. Monument Gate in Rio Dell, Humboldt county
Join hundreds of peaceful protesters in demanding an end to the
MAXXAM/Pacific Lumber Company's liquidation of our forests and
destruction of the Mattole Watershed. This sensitive ecosystem
includes thousands of acres of old growth Douglas fir and a unique
habitat for many threatened and
endangered species, including the spotted owl, the red tree vole, the
golden eagle, and coho salmon. From San Francisco Rio Dell is
around 5 hours drive (people are encouraged to make the trip at
least the day before). There will be an Action Camp from September
13th through 17th. Directions to Action camp will be posted later.
Join other tree-huggers, community residents, and people of good
spirit as demands are brought to MAXXAM/Pacific Lumber to:
* Stop Clearcutting http://www.jailhurwitz.com
* Stop Cutting Old Growth http://www.judibari.org
* Stop Logging on Steep and Unstable Slopes
* Stop Spraying Herbicides http://www.earthfirst.org
This precious forest is being decimated very quickly, but it is not
too late to stop the destruction. Help organize a carpool or bus from
your community and spread the message about this rally.
