 ** Uprooted: Refugees of the Global Economy  Tuesday, July 27th 8pm  A 
 compelling documentary about how the global economy has forced people to  
 leave their home countries. This video presents three stories of immigrants 
  who left their homes in Bolivia, Haiti, and the Philippines after global  
 economic powers devastated their countries, only to face new challenges in  
 the United States.   All contributions will go to NNIRR  ** The Fall of the 
 I-Hotel  Tuesday, August 31st 8pm  This film brings to life the battle for 
 housing in San Francisco. The brutal  eviction of the I-Hotel's tenants in 
 1977 ended a decade of spirited  resistance. Almost 20 years since the 
 International Hotel's demolition, the  former site of the heart of 
 Manilatown and home to more than 10,000 people  in the 1950s, is still 
 vacant. Many of its surviving elderly residents still  seek low-cost 
 replacement housing. This film resonates very clearly as  homelessness 
 becomes a fact of life in many cities today.  All contributions will go to 
 the Chinese Progressive Association
