Calendar: Thanksgiving break at the Science Hill Tree-sit
by Auto-organization ( lrdpresistance [at] riseup.net )
Tuesday Nov 20th, 2007 4:17 PM
Will you be around over Thanksgiving break? Here is a calendar of events that will be taking place in the free-space beneath the Science Hill tree-sit. We are putting out a general request to supporters of the tree-sit to be present during this time (Wednesday the 21st to Sunday the 25th), because many students who usually frequent the site will be out of town.

Anytime is a good time to drop in for a visit. Perhaps even consider staying the night - the more of us there are, the safer we will be from the threat of police violence.

Thanksgiving Break at the Tree-Sit:

--> Tuesday, November 20th:

*8:00pm - Film Screening:
“A Little Bit of So Much Truth” - on the 2006
peoples’ takeover of 13 radio stations and a television station in Oaxaca, Mexico.

--> Wednesday, November 21st:

*12:00 - Forest Walk in Upper Campus
sharing stories and secret spots, identifying plants, and discussing development plans that threaten this special place. (meet at Tree-sit site)

*7:30pm - Guerilla Drive-In film screening:
“Broken Rainbow” - an academy award winning documentary about the ongoing struggle of the Navajo and Hopi people for survival and dignity in the face of federal government “relocation” to make way for strip-mines and other $$$ interests.

--> Thursday, November 22nd:

*3:00-7:00pm: Anti-colonial (no)Thanksgiving
