DESCRIPTION:For the sixth anniversary of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq - 
 Unconventional Action in the Bay* will be hosting a radical anti-war 
 discussion and organizing forum. Please join us!\n\nThe forum will be both 
 educational and participatory, asking everyone there to participate in 
 strategic planning to resist the impacts of war and militarization on our 
 communities. This won't be a passive event; we'll be asking participants to 
 think actively, creatively, and strategically about how radical anti-war 
 organizing should move forward.\n\nWe will open with several speakers who 
 will frame the issues we will be discussing, and will raise themes about 
 how we are all being affected individually and collectively by living in a 
 country that is on a permanent war footing.\n\nThe majority of the forum 
 will then be spent in breakout groups, where we will hold facilitated 
 conversations about different ways in which militarization affects our 
 communities, and about new approaches to collective organizing. These 
 groups will be led by experienced guest facilitators, who will help us use 
 these discussions to come up with concrete organizing goals and strategies. 
 Each group will then report back on their discussions to the larger 
 group.\n\nThese conversations will be held on the following topics:\n- 
 Militarization of Police and the War on Immigrants\n- Corporate War 
 Profiteering \n- The Militarization of Culture and Everyday 
 Life\n\nSpeakers and guest facilitators will include:\n- Antonia Juhasz 
 (author of The Tyranny of Oil and The Bush Agenda)\n- Matt Edwards (former 
 conscientious objector and member of Iraq Veterans Against the War)\n- 
 David Solnit (activist, puppeteer, and co-author of Army of None)\n- Hugh 
 D’Andrade (artist, radical activist, and designer/activist for the 
 Electronic Frontier Foundation)\n- Members of SF Cop and Migra Busters!\n- 
 others to follow!\n\nFREE vegan/vegetarian BARBEQUE at a nearby park after 
 the forum.\n\nLets come together and build some new strategies for 
 confronting the military machine!\n\nPlease come out, and please invite 
 your friends and allies!\n\n- Unconventional Action in the Bay\n\n\n* This 
 is an openly anarchist, anti-authoritarian, and anti-capitalist forum. You 
 do not have to be an anarchist to attend. We welcome everyone interested, 
 as long as they respect other’s turns to speak and don’t try to co-opt 
 the forum.  \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/03/22/18580813.php
