DESCRIPTION:Free Film Screening and Presentation:\n\nBetita Martinez, author, elder and 
 activist, presents the film made as a companion to her book, "500 Years of 
 Chicano History: Viva la Causa."\n\nThe film is an introduction to Chican@ 
 history from the point of view  of the people who lived it. This film is 
 sympathetic to the issues of oppressed peoples, without flinching for the 
 difficulties facing “el Movimiento” including class, sexism, 
 interracial unity, and homophobia. \n\nThis fall marks a decade since the 
 Seattle WTO protests--and this also means it's been almost ten years since 
 Betita Martinez's "Where Was The Color in 
 Seattle"\nhttp://colours.mahost.org/articles/martinez.html\n\nAll ages are 
 welcome. \nAn event presented by Being John Brown & Barrios Unidos:\n\nThe 
 California Coalition of Barrios Unidos began as a community based peace 
 movement in the violent streets of urban California in 1977. Incorporated 
 as a non-profit organization in 1993, the national office of Santa Cruz 
 Barrios Unidos established the mission to prevent and curtail violence 
 amongst youth within Santa Cruz County by providing them with life 
 enhancing alternatives. Over the past twenty-five years Barrios Unidos has 
 developed a model that seeks to reclaim and restore the lives of struggling 
 youth while promoting unity amongst families and neighbors through 
 community building efforts.\nhttp://www.barriosunidos.net\n\nBeing John 
 Brown is a group of activists committed to challenging white supremacy. We 
 wish to see a world in which white privilege and oppression of people of 
 color have been completely eliminated, and our purpose is to help bring 
 about that world. We believe that white people have a responsibility to 
 actively confront white supremacy, as well as to take action in solidarity 
 with organizing led by people of color. Being John Brown exists in order to 
 organize in our communities for these purposes, and to support activists 
 and organizations with similar goals. Being John Brown is open to anyone 
 who agrees with these principles.  beingjohnbrown@gmail.com\n
