DESCRIPTION:Thursday, March 1st at 7 PM\n\nLoyal to the Sky: Notes from an Activist 
 with Marisa Handler and Rebecca Solnit\n\nNew College Theater, 777 Valencia 
 St, San Francisco \n\n"For readers interested in liberal political activism 
 in this new century, including war protests in 2003, the FTAA protests in 
 Miami, and protests during the Republican National Convention in New York, 
 Loyal to the Sky is a must-read... A deeply intelligent, absorbing call to 
 action." -- Emily Cook, Booklist \n\nThrough music and speech Marisa 
 Handler reveals the inside world of global activism. How are protests 
 organized? What are affinity groups? What do you do if you and your friends 
 turn the corner and come face to face with a line of armed, baton wielding 
 police? Handler's new book Loyal to the Sky answers these questions and 
 others. It is the story of her life on the front lines of the global 
 justice movement, and her coming of age in apartheid South Africa, America, 
 Israel, and other countries across the globe. Handler has worked as an 
 activist with numerous organizations, including Direct Action to Stop the 
 War, United for Peace and Justice, and the Tikkun Community. Her articles 
 have appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Earth Island Journal, 
 Salon.com, Alternet, and Orion, Tikkun, and Bitch magazines. \n\nRebecca 
 Solnit (who wrote the foreword to the book) is an activist, historian and 
 writer in San Francisco. Her work deals in particular with landscape, 
 cityscapes, cultural geographies, the environment, place, memory, 
 photography, and counternarratives and the uses of story. Among her eleven 
 books are four dealing with Yosemite in particular, 1994's Savage Dreams: A 
 Journey into the Landscape Wars of the American West, Wanderlust: A History 
 of Walking, River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild 
 West, and Yosemite in Time: Ice Ages, Tree Clocks, Ghost Rivers. Among her 
 awards are a Guggenheim, the Lannan Literary Award, and the National Book 
 Critics Circle Award in criticism. \n\n$5 Donation requested. Co-sponsored 
 by: New College Center for Education and Social Action, Global Exchange, 
 Bitch Magazine and Amazon Watch. For more information contact: June
