# Tue. Aug. 3 6:30-8:30 pm DolphinDance - Sebastopol
We will be dancing in the warm pool every other Tuesday evening throughout the summer. DolphinDance is a joyous exploration of movement in and under warm water. It is a bit like contact dance improvisation without gravity. It's delicious, dreamy, and very playful. We experiment with breath, balance, and buoyancy, turning and swirling and floating, moving our selves and each other in wonderful ways.
By the end of last season, the group and the dances had evolved so that each evening was a truly magical, ecstatic communal experience. We only have 8 dances scheduled this year, so don't wait until the end - jump in now, the water's fine!

ppjc [at] peaceandjustice.org http://www.peaceandjustice.org 650-326-8837
Tara Dorabji will speak about "America's Weapons of Mass Destruction -
And what we can do to get rid of them.” Dorabji is the Outreach
Coordinator for Tri-Valley Communities Against a Radioactive
Environment (Tri-Valley CAREs) and is organizing the upcoming “Books
Not Bombs” rally and march at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories
to commemorate the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Nuclear weapons are the ultimate weapons of terror and their
elimination begins with our opposition to them right here in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Tri-Valley CAREs, which is centered in Livermore,
CA, is part of a world-wide campaign to abolish nuclear weapons
launched in 2004 by the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the
anti-nuclear group Abolition 2000.
The program will be broadcast live on Mid-Peninsula Cable Channel 27
and taped for rebroadcast on Channels 27 and 28 throughout August. It
is part of the ongoing “Other Voices” television series produced by
Peninsula Peace and Justice Center. Free http://indybay.org

# 8/4 at 7:30pm in Oakland: Free Screening of Modern Times
Humanist Hall 390 27th St Oakland @ Telegraph & Broadway
HumanistHall [at] Yahoo.com MODERN TIMES by and with Charlie Chaplin
Set in the 1930s during the Great Depression era, the film's main
concerns echo those of millions of people at the time: unemployment,
poverty, and hunger. It has a number of wonderfully inventive and
memorable scenes that proclaim the frustrating struggle by proletarians
against the dehumanizing effects of the machine in the Industrial Age
and various social institutions. Need it be said? Charles Chaplin was
one of the greatst cinematic geniuses of the 20th century. His
brilliance was celebrated and recognized for decades. But then America
brutally turned against him. How it grieved him that his adopted
homeland, the country that had given him fame, riches and untold
fortune, denounced him as a Communist and basically didn't allow him
back into the country. What a singular disgrace.
The film is FREE but the drinks are $3 http://indybay.org

# Thu Aug 19 Who Owns Water? Protecting the World's Water
from Corporate Takeover http://www.citizen.org / water
Fortune magazine has predicted that "water is the oil of the 21
century," and now corporations are rushing to invest in the new
get-rich economy of water. Giant water, energy, food, and shipping
companies have plans to buy water rights, privatize publicly-owned
water systems, promote bottled water, and sell "bulk" water by
transporting it from water rich areas to thirsty markets. As the
world's water becomes scarcer and corporations seek to exploit this
scarcity for profit, people around the world are losing ownership and
control of water resources on which they depend. But water is a human
right; to the extent one has the right to live, one has the right to
water.
Join us for a discussion with Juliette Beck and John Gibler of Public
Citizen's Water for All Campaign. Public Citizen's Water for All
Campaign is dedicated to protecting water as a common resource,
stopping water privatization and bulk water sales, and defending
access to clean and affordable water around the world. Come hear how
people in California and around the world - from Stockton and Gualala
to Bolivia and Bangladesh - are defending the global commons and our
right to water, and find out how you can help. 7 pm - 9 pm

We will be dancing in the warm pool every other Tuesday evening throughout the summer. DolphinDance is a joyous exploration of movement in and under warm water. It is a bit like contact dance improvisation without gravity. It's delicious, dreamy, and very playful. We experiment with breath, balance, and buoyancy, turning and swirling and floating, moving our selves and each other in wonderful ways.
By the end of last season, the group and the dances had evolved so that each evening was a truly magical, ecstatic communal experience. We only have 8 dances scheduled this year, so don't wait until the end - jump in now, the water's fine!

Tara Dorabji will speak about "America's Weapons of Mass Destruction -
And what we can do to get rid of them.” Dorabji is the Outreach
Coordinator for Tri-Valley Communities Against a Radioactive
Environment (Tri-Valley CAREs) and is organizing the upcoming “Books
Not Bombs” rally and march at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories

Nuclear weapons are the ultimate weapons of terror and their
elimination begins with our opposition to them right here in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Tri-Valley CAREs, which is centered in Livermore,
CA, is part of a world-wide campaign to abolish nuclear weapons
launched in 2004 by the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the
anti-nuclear group Abolition 2000.
The program will be broadcast live on Mid-Peninsula Cable Channel 27
and taped for rebroadcast on Channels 27 and 28 throughout August. It
is part of the ongoing “Other Voices” television series produced by

# 8/4 at 7:30pm in Oakland: Free Screening of Modern Times
Humanist Hall 390 27th St Oakland @ Telegraph & Broadway
HumanistHall [at] Yahoo.com MODERN TIMES by and with Charlie Chaplin
Set in the 1930s during the Great Depression era, the film's main
concerns echo those of millions of people at the time: unemployment,
poverty, and hunger. It has a number of wonderfully inventive and
memorable scenes that proclaim the frustrating struggle by proletarians
against the dehumanizing effects of the machine in the Industrial Age
and various social institutions. Need it be said? Charles Chaplin was
one of the greatst cinematic geniuses of the 20th century. His
brilliance was celebrated and recognized for decades. But then America
brutally turned against him. How it grieved him that his adopted
homeland, the country that had given him fame, riches and untold
fortune, denounced him as a Communist and basically didn't allow him
back into the country. What a singular disgrace.
The film is FREE but the drinks are $3 http://indybay.org

# Thu Aug 19 Who Owns Water? Protecting the World's Water
from Corporate Takeover http://www.citizen.org / water
Fortune magazine has predicted that "water is the oil of the 21
century," and now corporations are rushing to invest in the new
get-rich economy of water. Giant water, energy, food, and shipping
companies have plans to buy water rights, privatize publicly-owned
water systems, promote bottled water, and sell "bulk" water by
transporting it from water rich areas to thirsty markets. As the
world's water becomes scarcer and corporations seek to exploit this
scarcity for profit, people around the world are losing ownership and
control of water resources on which they depend. But water is a human
right; to the extent one has the right to live, one has the right to
water.
Join us for a discussion with Juliette Beck and John Gibler of Public
Citizen's Water for All Campaign. Public Citizen's Water for All
Campaign is dedicated to protecting water as a common resource,
stopping water privatization and bulk water sales, and defending
access to clean and affordable water around the world. Come hear how
people in California and around the world - from Stockton and Gualala
to Bolivia and Bangladesh - are defending the global commons and our
right to water, and find out how you can help. 7 pm - 9 pm
