DESCRIPTION:6pm Sunday January 15, 2017\nfilm screening of THE SQUARE: The People 
 Demand the Downfall of the Regime\nRevolution Books 2444 Durant Ave, 
 Berkeley 94704\n\nThe documentary film The Square, by the filmmaker Jehane 
 Noujaim, brings us inside the mass uprisings in Egypt. The Square is an 
 immersive experience, transporting the viewer deeply into the intense 
 emotional drama and personal stories behind the news. It is the 
 inspirational story of young people claiming their rights, struggling 
 through multiple forces, in the fight to create a society of conscience. As 
 2011 dawned, President Hosni Mubarak had ruled Egypt for decades and seemed 
 to be immovably implanted in power. But Mubarak was forced to leave office 
 and actually arrested after being confronted by massive demonstrations that 
 braved very severe repression, focused in the main square in Cairo, along 
 with opposition from all sectors of society manifesting in different ways. 
 From the time of the first demonstrations to the removal of Mubarak took 
 less than a month.\n\nNo two societies or periods of time, of course, are 
 exactly alike, and history is not made by analogy—but the events in Eqypt 
 of 2011 when, quite suddenly thousands and thousands of people flooded into 
 Tahrir Square day after day and refused to leave, are a parallel that must 
 be learned from and ACTED ON.\n\nQuestion: How could Trump-Pence actually 
 be prevented from ruling?\n\nAnswer: By the intersection of two things: 
 first, massive protest and resistance from tens of millions of ordinary 
 people, daring and determined to actually prevent this fascist regime from 
 taking over and implementing its program, beginning more or less 
 immediately and growing to a crescendo in the next few weeks, and through 
 that creating “a crisis of rule”; and second, coupled with this, 
 attempts by different factions in the established power structure that have 
 real differences with Trump-Pence to solve the crisis by preventing them 
 from taking the reins of power.\n
