DESCRIPTION:July 25, 2006:\nThe Heads Up Collective Presents:\n\nTelevising the 
 Revolution; a Radical Film Series at El Rio,  3158 Mission St. @ Cesar 
 Chavez, San Francisco,www.elriosf.com\n\nTuesday, July 25th at 
 8pm\n\nShowing the film: CRUEL & UNUSUAL\nMost states separate prisoners by 
 genitalia alone, so pre-op transgender women are placed in men‚s 
 correctional facilities, where they find themselves vulnerable and preyed 
 upon. This frank, often upsetting documentary portrays the  challenges 
 faced by these women. Disturbing evidence suggests that thirty percent of 
 all transgender people have been imprisoned ˆ three times the national 
 average. Eye opening and caustic in its depiction of the blatant 
 discrimination transgender people endure, this documentary will leave you 
 with much to think about.\n\nA benefit for:\nTrans/Gender Variant in Prison 
 Committee\nTIP's mission is to end the discrimination, medical neglect, 
 abuse and violence experienced by transgender and gender variant people, 
 and   people with intersex conditions (TGI) in CA prisons. We are an 
 abolitionist organization, in that while we fight for the immediate   needs 
 of TGI people in prison, we do not advocate for reforms that further expand 
 the prison industrial complex. We work to improve  conditions for TGI 
 people in prison and to promote public awareness of the experiences of TGI 
 people in prison, all while prioritizing and  building the leadership of 
 current and former prisoners. Our work deliberately combines race, class, 
 and ability along with gender and   intersex status, because low-income 
 communities of color are disproportionately harmed by the prison industrial 
 complex. Thus, TIP embraces the wide diversity of gender apparent in 
 communities of color, such as butches, studs, gressors, A.G.s, queens, 
 divas, gay boys, and others. www.tgigp.org/tip (510) 677-5500\n\nWith 
 speakers from TIP!\n\n This event is part of an ongoing monthly series 
 showcasing radical films and supporting local organizing. Films are shown 
 on the patio at El Rio every 4th Tuesday. The event is free but donations 
 are accepted. Space is wheelchair accessible, but bathrooms are not; 21 and 
 over RAIN or SHINE\n\n And . . . .SAVE THE DATE!\n\n Tuesday, August 29th 
 (5th Tuesday) a benefit for the Deporten a la Migra Coalition (Deport the 
 INS/ICE)\n\n For more information, suggestions or to help out, please

\nThe Heads Up 
 Collective is a white anti-racist, anti-imperialist project. We are rooted 
 in the global justice and anti-war movements. \n\nWe work from the 
 foundation that all people have the right to housing, food, health care, 
 meaningful work, and healthy communities. In short, we believe in the need 
 for revolutionary change and the liberation of all people from the systems 
 of white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, heterosexism, the gender binary 
 system, and imperialism.\n
