DESCRIPTION:Hello friends,\n\n       If you haven't seen our movie "Shutdown" we are 
 showing it as a benefit next Friday July,10th at 7pm at Ak Press for our 
 fearless friend and comrade, Tristan Anderson, who is still in the hospital 
 in serious condition after being shot in the face by the Israeli Defense 
 Forces while protesting Israel's Apartheid wall on March 13th, 2009.\n\n    
  Tristan is one of the many activists who appear in the movie discussing 
 issues of social justice and movement building strategy. He has taken such 
 a blow in the fight against injustice and because of his actions for a free 
 Palestine with the International Solidarity Movement that we need everyone 
 to come and support a comrade and friend who needs our love and solidarity. 
 For more about Tristan,  his medical condition and to donate online please 
 go to http://justicefortristan.org/ \n\n All proceeds from the event will 
 go directly to aid Tristan's medical and life needs.\n\nWe will have food, 
 drinks, music and room for discussion.\n\nThanks, \nIn struggle,\nJonathan,

 \n\nMORE INFO ON THE MOVIE:\nShutdown the movie is the latest video release 
 from AK Press:\n"Re-creating the fervor of the era...Shutdown may inspire 
 some to take the streets again"- SF weekly\n"Shutdown does exactly what I 
 expect any good activist documentary to do. It gives Props to our hard won 
 victories and gives time and space to figure out our failures." - Left Turn 
 Magazine\n\nOn March 20, 2003—the day after the (most recent) Iraq war 
 started—San Francisco was brought to a grinding halt by thousands of 
 activists who occupied the streets to oppose the war. It was a mass 
 uprising that forced the police to declare the financial district “shut 
 down.” The planning and outreach coordinated by Direct Action to Stop the 
 War (DASW), filled downtown San Francisco with approximately 15,000 people 
 clogging traffic, stopping business as usual, communicating with passersby, 
 and creating a pandemonium that lasted for several days. But neither DASW 
 nor the mass resistance outlasted Iraq’s occupation.\n\nShutdown is an 
 action-packed documentary chronicling how DASW successfully organized 
 effort to shut down a major US city and how they failed to effectively 
 maintain the organization to fight the war machine and end the occupation 
 of Iraq.\n\nCreated by organizers involved with DASW, Shutdown combines 
 detailed information on organizing for a mass action, critical interviews 
 on organizing pitfalls, and the wisdom of hindsight. It is a must-see film 
 for those engaged in the continuous struggle toward social justice.\ncheck
