 522 Valencia Street   (at 16th, West side, towards 17th), San Francisco  We 
 live in an era of a new radicalism, a worldwide challenge to global empire 
 that has inspired millions to flood the streets in resistance and to take 
 action in their own communities. This movement of movements is gaining 
 momentum, even in the face of post-9/11 repression and war. All over the 
 world, people are rebelling against the rule of the few who are intent on 
 concentrating profit and power.  Hear four of the authors of essays in the 
 provocative anthology, Globalize Liberation, discuss the new radicalism, 
 examples of effective action and practical tools for everyone to use.  
 Betita Martinez will speak on some of the issues raised in her essay on 
 Racism: U.S. Creation Myth and Its Premise Keepers. She has been a Chicana 
 antiracist activist since 1960 and is director of the Institute for Multi 
 Racial Justice.  Starhawk is a longtime direct, ecological, peace and 
 global justice organizer and author of Webs of Power; Notes from the Global 
 Uprising and The Fifth Sacred Thing.   Chris Carlsson will speak on 
 "Radical Politics: Assuming We Refuse, Let’s Refuse to Assume." He helped 
 launch "Critical Mass" bicycle activism and cofounded Processed World 
 Magazine.  David Solnit, editor of the anthology is the author of the essay 
 "The New Radicalism: Uprooting the System and Building A Better World." He 
 is a veteran of mass direct-action organizing and is currently working to 
 popularize a people power strategy to stop the Iraq war and occupation. .
