This full moon is the "Full Buck Moon " as July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur. It was also often called the Full Thunder Moon, for the reason that thunderstorms are most frequent during this time. Another name for this month’s Moon was the Full Hay Moon.

This is also the "Rose" moon.

Here's a List of Full Moon Names that Include (but have curiously excluded the above named moon(?)):
Native American, Chinese, New Guinean, Colonial American, English Medieval and Neo-Pagan.

The Moon Names of the Dakota Sioux are very specific, which can be helpful:
March Moon When Eyes are Sore from Bright Snow
September Moon When the Calves Grow Hair

What Are the U.S. Time Zones?
aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/us_tzones.html

Standard time in the U.S. and its territories is observed within nine time zones. Standard time within each time zone is an integral number of hours offset from a time scale called Universal Time, Coordinated (abbreviated UTC), maintained by a large number of very precise "atomic clocks" at laboratories around the world, including the U.S. Naval Observatory.

To obtain U.S. civil time from UTC, use the following table.
Eastern Daylight Time
subtract 4 hours from UTC
Eastern Standard Time
subtract 5 hours from UTC
Central Daylight Time

The Decider

People have a bit of fun with the hubris of the guy who describes himself as "The Decider". But has anyone remarked, in the press, that it is a synonym for "The Dictator"?
The US Constitution does not provide for a Decider. Closest it comes is the Deciders in the Supreme court.
This Pretender To the Throne Must GO.



I think martial law is closer than we think and without another terrorist attack. I would not put it past him to declare martial law after the fall elections are stolen again and we all rise up like we should have in the past three election cycles, or even if the elections aren’t fixed and the Democrats regain control, I can see him appealing to the American population that he will not be able to work with the Democratic Congress and declaring martial law is his only alternative to continuing his reign and being in absolute power will be his only hope for political survival. We live in very dangerous times and it’s not the “terrorists” that make it dangerous, it’s our pResident and his cronies. Who do you think those secret prisons that Halliburton is supposedly building are for, they’re for US, the opponents of his corrupt regime?

# National Nude Recreation Week is July 10-16 2006
If we were meant to be naked, we would be born that way.
Naked people do not support sweat shops or use nuclear energy and phosphates washing their clothes.
Naked people are closer to nature, and take better care of their environment.
Naked people are not hiding anything.

# Downloading the Past Thu, Jul 13 6:00-7:30 p.m.
The reception is free and open to the public

On Thursday, July 13, the GLBT Historical Society will hold
"Downloading the Past," a panel exploring the GLB Gay History
Writers' Project and its efforts to create downloadable e-books of
rare, out-of-print gay fiction. Program participants will include
Writers' Project founder and novelist Barton Lewis, classic gay
writer John Coriolan, and Cesar Love, the son of Richard Amory, whose
1971 novel Frost is a featured e-book. San Francisco State University
English Professor Jim Brogan will also provide historical and
literary context. In addition to describing writing and publishing
fiction and erotic novels from the 1950s through the 1980s, panelists
will share the art of e-books as preservation. A web presentation and
an interactive conversation will accompany the panel.

"Too often, classic 'pulp fiction' simply disappears or becomes
accessible only through archives such as the GLBT Historical
Society," said GLBT Historical Society Executive Director Terence
Kissack. "The GLB Gay History Writers' Project makes these works
available again worldwide at the click of a mouse."

In conjunction with "Downloading the Past," the Historical Society
will stage a special mini-exhibit of lesbian and gay paperback
fiction from the 1950s and 1960s. The event is free and open to the
public and will include light refreshments and free admittance to the
gallery exhibits, "Capturing the Moment: The Photojournalism of Rick
Gerharter," and "Sporting Life: GLBT Athletics from the 1960s to Today."

WHAT: "Downloading the Past: The GLB Gay Writers' Project" panel

WHERE: GLBT Historical Society, 657 Mission St, Ste 300 (btwn New
Montgomery & Third)

WHEN: Thursday, July 13, 6:00-7:30 p.m. The reception is free and
open to the public.

# 7/13: End of Suburbia Screening & Action (walnut creek)
We had a great screening of End of Suburbia on June 8th. Those who came were energized to start local action in Contra Costa County. So much so, that we decided to show it again at our July meeting and really encourage those who didn't/couldn't come to be there this time. While the film is showing, those who saw it last time will meet in the next room to begin our discussions about local action in response to fossil fuel depletion and in support of sustainable living. We already have some good ideas and models. Come join us!

garage. Hear them sing, wail, scream, harmonize, plead, beg, and
shout from atop their totemic pedestals. See them shimmy, shake,
twist, dog, monkey, duck, bird, funky chicken, and pony like their
ancestors of yore.

This book is an unprecedented photographic record of a decade of Burning Man celebrations -- from its infancy as a performance art exhibition in the late 80's to its growth as a global, community-driven phenomenon today. Photographer Barb Traub captures the sacred and profane through photos of otherworldly artifacts, structures, and costumes that defy description. Contributions from filmmaker Les Blank, Burning Man founder Larry Harvey, Star Trek's Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy, and beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti help to illuminate Traub's unique perspective on this dynamically evolving event.

Time: July 15, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM & July 22, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Location: The Dream Space 7433 Hillmont Dr. Oakland, CA
Fee: $60.00 ($20 per session) Early registration* $65.00 at the door

This Three Part lecture series will take participants through a journey of physical rejuvenation and re-youthing experience which is the destiny and the wave of the human race. The information presented is the cutting edge and constitutes the latest research in bio-chemical, core energetics, and Mind-Body-Spirit medicine. These segments will enlighten participants to the avenues one may take to regenerate systemically the human body.

Part One will explore the various reasons why the human body degenerates though it is primed and genetically coded to live forever. Immortality is the birthright of every human being, yet an array of cultural/social mechanisms prevents the human entity from living past the average age of 65-75 years...the last 25 of those years being absorbed in physical decay, pain, and emotional misery.
Part Two will examine the various foods, supplements, and elixirs that reinstate the overall vitality of the human body. Simple trace minerals such as zinc play an overwhelmingly essential role in all generative functions...physical and energetic.
Part Three: Immortal Energetics will discuss the relationship of the organs in the human body as they relate to our overall mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. This presentation will reveal specific techniques and practices one can do to reestablish the keys to health and longevity by manipulating the death codes programmed into the human body and replacing them with the light codes of vitality and long life.

BIO - Wayne B. Chandler, M.S., C.P.H., S.C.E. is the author of Ancient Future: The Teachings and Prophetic Wisdom of the Seven Hermetic Laws of Ancient Egypt and the forth coming book The Brighter Side of Darkness: A Light Warriors Guide to Inner Alchemy and Spiritual Revelation.

# July 15 - Day of Action against Climate Change and G8 - EF! Call to Action!
A call to action from Earth First! Climate Caucus and Rising Tide North America
July 15th 2006 -- Direct Action for Climate Justice

International Day of Direct Action
against Climate Change and the G8
Rise Up Against G8 Policies
Target Fossil Fuel Industries in Your Town or Bioregion

On July 15th, the "Group of 8" (G8) richest industrialized countries will gather in St. Petersburg, Russia to plot their continued commodification and domination of the planet, this time under the banner of "Energy Security." A leaked G8 "Communique on Energy Security" calls for trillions of dollars in new investments in oil, gas and coal production worldwide, plus wide-scale global expansion of nuclear energy. With runaway climate change* looming just over the horizon, such neoliberal business-as-usual poses a direct threat to the continuation of life on Earth as we know it. Resistance is self defense. The G8 agenda promotes petroleum-dependent "Energy Security" that pollutes our land and atmosphere, ravages poor and indigenous communities, and scorches the Earth's climate. Their recipe for disaster must be met with our global resistance!

July 15th will be an International Day of Action Against Climate Change. As G8 energy ministers promise trillions in new subsidies to the industries destroying our planet and our future, we will take action to shut them down! This is a call for autonomous, decentralized actions appropriate for your town, city, or bioregion. Use this international day of action to support local struggles against oil refineries, gas pipelines, strip mines and coal-fired power plants. Disrupt the financial backers of the fossil fuel industry. Host teach-ins to spread sustainable post-petroleum living skills. Find a weak point in the infrastructure of resource exploitation and throw a literal or symbolic wrench in the works. Visit your local polluters and give 'em hell!

The July 15th International Day of Action Against Climate Change is being mobilized by Rising Tide North America, a new network initiated in the US by the Earth First! Climate Caucus, with inspiration and support from the UK's vibrant Rising Tide direct action movement for climate justice and against climate change. Rising Tide North America is actively mobilizing July 15th actions in local bioregions, as well as reaching out to environmental justice, climate action and radical sustainability movements in all of the G8 countries plus the Global South.

Rising Tide North America is building a large collection of outreach and agit-prop materials that can be used by groups around the continent (and the world) to organize locally. These materials will be downloadable from www.reclaimthecommons.net and from the website of Rising Tide North America (comin' soon).

Join the Rising Tide North America network, and tell us about July 15th actions against climate change being planned in your community or bioregion! Contact us at efclimatecaucus@wildmail.com.

For more information and updates about July 15th international actions against climate change, plus news and links about additional global resistance against the 2006 G8 Summit from July 14th to 17th, go to www.reclaimthecommons.net

*19 of the 20 hottest years on record have occurred since 1980. Islands in the South Pacific are already evacuating due to rising sea levels. Storms and hurricanes are growing more severe. Polar bears are drowning as their icy habitat breaks apart and drifts out to sea. Greenland and Antarctica are melting. Everyday we spew more greenhouse gases burned from fossil fuels into the atmosphere; everyday we are one step closer to what scientists refer to as "the tipping point," on the verge of catastrophic and irreversible climate chaos.

In December 2005, a group of twenty four friends, following the
nonviolent tradition of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker walked to
Guantanamo to visit the prisoners, calling themselves "Witness Against
Torture." When they returned, they launched the "Campaign to Shut Down
Guantanamo," which consists of public education and community
outreach, networking and resource sharing, and acts of nonviolent
civil disobedience to draw attention to the plight of prisoners in
Guantanamo, and victims of the war on terrorism everywhere.

# Sock It To Me Concert July 15, 2006
The Everyone Orchestra featuring Steve Kimock • Michael Young

Where: Potrero Park (25th & Potrero) San Francisco
Time: 6-9:00PM
Park opens @ 2:00PM (We’ve decided to open the park early. So bring a picnic lunch and make a day of it)

The KPIX Meteorologist predicts another hot and sunny Saturday in San Francisco. And, she was right on the money last weekend. But, be sure to bring a sweater or light jacket. It may get a little chilly as the sun sets.

Why are we doing this? Most every article of clothing can be given to the homeless as a "hand-me-down," with the exception of socks and underwear. This is where you come in. Check your sock drawer for anything with a tag on it. Or, stop by the local store on your way to the event and pick something up. Remember this is about the art of giving, and there’s more to underwear than just socks. So, be creative! If it’s new and has a tag on it, bring down…

Last year we collected just over 1,000 pairs of socks and underwear. We want to beat that.

Please feel free to forward this email along. And please, visit www.NextArts.org

# SAN FRANCISCO'S FINEST POLITICAL COMEDY - FREE IN THE PARKS!

SF Mime Troupe presents:

GODFELLAS
Imagine a nation where religious fervor runs hot, and faith rhetoric runs hotter. Where belief has replaced reason, and where Liberty and Justice play a broken second fiddle to an all powerful, omniscient and omnipresent military-industrial God complex. That's the nation Reverend C.B. De Love wants. And that's also the nation where shy civics teacher Angela Franklin finds herself. But in her struggle to stop the coming Theocracy will Angela go too far? In her zeal to destroy the opiate of the masses, will she make a religion out of her anti-religion, and join the ranks of the Gangsters for God? Or will she see the folly of blind faith in anything - even the Constitution - and return to Reason?

Shows are free in the parks... call for ticket info for the evening shows ... the below list includes shows across the bay area and also in Point Arena, Redway, Bolinas, Palo Alto, Sebastapol, Chico, Davis, Sacramento, Ukiah, Hayward, Grass Valley, Culver City, Sonoma and Santa Cruz.

# Please join East Bay Animal Advocates for a five day chicken advocacy event targeting Andronico's
Jul 16-20
East Bay Animal Advocates Week of Action at Andronico's: A Five Day
Advocacy Event to Protect Chickens (Palo Alto & Berkeley)

Andronico's Market, a grocery chain in the San Francisco Bay Area, plays
an important role in promoting humane business practices. As the
company's vision articulates: "We initiate and encourage change, taking
responsibility for our actions in pursuit of excellence." In fact,
Andronico's says it is "committed to the highest standards of animal
husbandry."

Shockingly, Andronico's still sells eggs from chickens confined in
battery cages. East Bay Animal Advocates recently documented conditions
at Andronico's brandname egg supplier - NuCal Foods, Inc. The undercover
footage shows intensive confinement of chickens in wire cages. Several
retailers, including Whole Foods Market and Wild Oats Natural
Marketplace, have already adopted policies to carry only cage-free
eggs. In order to advance the company's commitment to excellence, ask
Andronico's to adopt a cage-free egg policy. For more information about
Andronico's support of animal abuse, visit
www.andronicosabuse.com.

Join East Bay Animal Advocates for outreach at two Andronico's stores:

Palo Alto Store Outreach
Address: 500 Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto

# From KQED’s series Neighborhoods: The Hidden Cities of San Francisco
a film screening, conversation, and reception with

associate producer/curator Elizabeth Pepinauthor/curator Lewis Wattsand Fillmore luminaries David Johnson and Reggie Pettus
in conjunction with the exhibition
HARLEM OF THE WEST: THE SAN FRANCISCO FILLMORE JAZZ ERA

San Francisco Performing Arts Library & Museum Tuesday, July 18 – 7:00 pm In conjunction with its current exhibition, Harlem of the West: The San Francisco Fillmore Jazz Era, San Francisco Performing Arts Library & Museum (SFPALM) presents a film screening of THE FILLMORE (1999) from KQED’s Neighborhoods: The Hidden Cities of San Francisco series, followed by a conversation with exhibition curators Elizabeth Pepin and Lewis Watts. Pepin (who was associate producer of the film) and Watts will recount their years of painstaking work in piecing together the nearly lost history of the Fillmore District, gathering oral histories and rare photographs which informed the film, and which have resulted in both the exhibition and a new book from Chronicle Books. Several notable figures from the era featured in the film and the exhibition, including photographer David Johnson and business owner Reggie Pettus, will also appear at the event and recount their experiences in the Fillmore during its thrilling heyday. Narrated by Ossie Davis, the film features extremely rare archival footage of the Fillmore, interviews with many of those who played pivotal roles in its history, and is filled with the music of the neighborhood from Count Basie to Jefferson Airplane. The evening includes a reception with the participants. This special screening of THE FILLMORE is made possible courtesy of KQED. Admission is free, but space is limited and advance reservations are required. Call 415-255-4800 or email to info@sfpalm.org.

# BrainJams Presents: Rent an Expert 07/19/06 5:30pm - 9:00pm

FREE to attend and network - classes will cost about $5 each

Rent an Expert is an event where people who want to help others do,
or learn something, offer their services to the members of the
community for a very small fee (average is $5). All the money
collected will be donated to a charity that is chosen by all
participants.

Some examples of what might be offered include: how to setup a blog,
how to get the most from shortcuts in Photoshop, configure a Drupal
community, redesign a Web site, customize a WordPress theme, create a
survey, optimize AdSense ads, figure out tagging, how to shoot better
photographs or just about anything really - even non-technical things
like how to write a press release. Ideally this will happen in one on
one exchanges, but it could be a project with a couple of people
involved that needs the expertise or perhaps a team of people who are
offering their expertise.

The event is being sponsored by BrainJams, MindJet and RateItAll.

If you would like to share your expertise, please sign up here:
rentanexpert.pbwiki.com/Offer%...pertise

If there is something you would like to learn, please list it here:

Biomimicry, a term first coined in 1997 by biologist Janine Benyus,
is a term that applies to many inventive new industries. It is the
art and science of learning and using the "designs" which we see all
around us, about copying what Nature seems to do very well. Think
spider silk stronger than steel! What is important for a world
rapidly depleting its resources, Biomimicry is about using nature's
"manufacturing ideas" to be more efficient with materials and energy.
An engineer, Onno Koelman of Pax Scientific, and a teacher of product
design, Sue Redding of CCA, present some elegantly practical
applications of Biomimicry.

PROGRAM

Onno Koelman is a design engineer at PAX Scientific and has seen the
company grow from its five original employees to over twenty-one
strong. Since the very beginning he has been fascinated by the PAX
story and the simplicity and elegance of natural design. He has had
the opportunity to work on numerous products during his tenure. In
this presentation he will review PAX's story from its earliest
beginnings,and bring the story up to date by following two industries
in which PAX is now poised to launch efficient, elegant, and cost-
effective solutions - all inspired by Nature.


Sue Redding is a Bay Area Designer and Associate Professor of
Industrial Design at California College of the Arts (CCA) in San
Francisco. At CCA, Sue teaches sustainable design to Graphic and
Industrial Designers. A former zookeeper, Sue developed a biology
curriculum called: "Applied Biology for Designers and Artists." In
this class designers are taught basic biological principles and how
to use nature as inspiration in art and design. Redding will present
Biomimicry examples and show how she presents the information to
students to help them draw the link between design and biology. Sue
will also show recent student and faculty work and show how the "New
Organic Design" is taking hold in the design world.

# GOOD NEWS! - Vigils at UCSF resume on July 20th, 4:30 PM
Dear Animal Activists, Companions, Guardians, Lovers, Liberators and Vigilers:

GOOD NEWS: The protest vigils at UCSF resume on the 3rd Thursday of July - July 20th - and thereafter on the 3rd Thursday of the month through the year's end.

So, please mark your calendars:
Vigil at UCSF, 513 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco
Thursday, July 20, 4:30 PM (till 5:30 or 6 PM)
(and each month thereafter on the 3rd Thursday of the month)

Help us keep the pressure on UCSF to change their vivisection practices - and to let them know that we remain vigilant on behalf of the thousands of animals within their facilities throughout the city.

By the way, the most recent Vigil newsletter will be available - with the latest updates on dogs (ab)used in medical experiments at UCSF, as well as a revealing article about the living conditions of monkeys in research labs, written by a veterinarian who once worked in a primate research lab.

Hope you can attend.

Bob O'Brien
PS: If you cannot make it to the vigil and you would like a copy of newsletter, please send a stamped self-addressed envelope to me, Bob O'Brien, 311 - 11th Ave, #15, San Francisco, CA 94118

Remember when animal prints were in style along with pegged pants,
Izod alligators, and shoulder pads? On July 20, the 80's will be in
fashion yet again, as we reminisce about everything from The Brat
Pack to Atari. 80's films will be on the screen and alligators will
be in the aquarium to meet. Put up your collar at the bar - Miami
vice style or groove to the Soft, the Hard, the Rock, the Pop laid
down by 80's and Qool Ambassador: Marc Fong.

Totally Far Out for a Thursday!

Camping for Bohemian Grove Convergence 2006

Dear Greens and other friends -

We hope you are planning to attend the July 22 protest and Green
Convergence at Bohemian Grove in Sonoma County. You will help shine
a light on what has been called the greatest men's party on earth; one
made up of many of the men who profit most from oil and the war to get
it. And others who gain vast wealth from cheap labor, keeping it "illegal"
or far off shore. And, of course, their political enablers.

The protest will take place starting at 1 P.M. in the Sonoma County town of
Monte Rio, at the parking lot across from the Rio theater, at the
intersection of Bohemian Highway and Hwy. 116. There will be a short
rally at the parking lot, followed by a march to the Bohemian Grove gate at
2 P.M.. Local organizers are planning a Saturday evening dinner and event
in Monte Rio starting at about 4 P.M. to finish out the day of protest and
community building.

This is a summer playground, and we hope you and your family, friends and
allies will come and make a week-end out of it. Below are contacts for a
number of the campgrounds and resorts in the vicinity. We will try to have
a group camp space set aside, but that has not been confirmed as of this
writing, and it should not be depended upon.

Most of these venues are first cone, first served, though it never hurts to
call and see if you can reserve a site:

Austin Creek State Rec, area, 707-865-2391, 17000 Armstrong
Woods Rd., $10, 24 units

Cassini Family Campground, 800-451-8400, 22855 Moscow Rd.,
Duncan's Mills, (near Monte Rio) $22-29, huge, along the Russian

so will be likely crowded with Civil War buffs.

# FREE Intro | Evolutionary Health and Well Being | Thursday July 27th

evolutionaryawareness.com/event...th.php

What: Evolutionary Health and Well Being™
A Brief Introduction

When: THURSDAY Thursday July 27th 7:00pm to 9:30pm [RSVP Required]
Where: The Arete Center for Excellence in SF

Why:

Learn How:

•I virtually eliminated HIV from my system in a few months without meds!
•To dissolve beliefs about what is and is not possible within your body
•Bring evolutionary awareness to health and well being
+Body: nutrition and fitness
+Mind: How specifically to harness the power of the mind
for your healing and how to clear out significant negative
emotional experiences
•Which non-deity, non sectarian, spiritual practices I used
•Apply to the same technology to any illness or limitation in your thinking
•Find out about the Evolutionary Health and Well Being™ workshop in
September

All in one brief evening!

What if "incurable" diseases were curable? What if there were a mental
technology and a integral approach that could unlock that possibility? It is
one thing to believe in the power of the mind...it is another to have the
key and be able to cut copies to give away for access, and to be a living,
breathing example of it with access to the specifics, diligently recorded
over my 5 month journey to heal myself. And heal myself I did.

Think this is impossible? Think again.

# San Francisco Peak Oil Hearing July 28
SFhearings @ sfbayoil.org

Bay Area activists and concerned citizens are encouraged to mark Friday, July 28, on their calendars. On that afternoon at City Hall in San Francisco, the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) will be holding the first in a series of hearings on Peak Oil, focusing on its potential ramifications for San Francisco (and the Bay Area), how city government is equipped, or more correctly "not equipped," to deal with an energy famine, and what the local government might do to mitigate the catastrophe Peak Oil will bring to our local economy, infrastructure, and personal lives. This hearing will provide an opportunity for education of the local population regarding an issue with which so many are completely unfamiliar, despite its urgency.

On April 11, 2006, San Francisco made history. By a vote of 10-0 by the Board of Supervisors, our local "City Council," it became the first major American city to pass a resolution acknowledging the Peak Oil phenomenon. This action was taken after a group of local citizens from a grassroots organization, San Francisco Oil Awareness, contacted and met with their representatives, voicing their concerns about the city's future. The resolution, sponsored by Supervisors Ross Mirkarimi, Jake McGoldrick, Sophie Maxwell, and Chris Daly, called for Mayor Gavin Newsom and the Board of Supervisors to acknowledge Peak Oil and to provide funding for an assessment which would determine the effects of petroleum depletion upon our way of life.

This proposed assessment is a major undertaking, and the suggestions such a study would determine necessary to mitigate effects from Peak Oil could not realistically be tackled in the political realm without a mandate of the citizenry of San Francisco. Unfortunately, even in progressive San Francisco, a majority of our population do not know about nor understand what Peak Oil is, as major media are almost always silent about the topic, or when discussing it they are rife with misinformation. But our region is special in its history of activism and consciousness, and by harnessing these historical assets, San Francisco is poised to seize this moment and avoid the worst case scenario that could befall us as petroleum-based fossil fuel energy becomes increasingly difficult to extract from the earth and prohibitively expensive to acquire. San Francisco must take this occasion to begin to "power down."

With your help, July 28 could provide the needed impetus to educate the citizenry of San Francisco and the Bay Area about these potential disruptions. On that afternoon at 1:30, a press conference will be held on the steps of City Hall in conjunction with San Francisco Oil Awareness and other concerned organizations, and it will be very important to have a large turnout of concerned citizens attending the press conference as well as the hearing on Peak Oil that will commence in City Hall at 2:00 p.m. that day. Please make an effort to attend these important events, and please encourage your friends to learn about Peak Oil and join you in voicing concerns on July 28. It is not hyperbole that our collective lives may depend upon it.

The hearing on July 28, as presently envisioned, will include an introductory message about Peak Oil, a presentation by author, lecturer, and professor Richard Heinberg of New College in Santa Rosa, presentations by the department of the environment, and a discussion about municipal response from Dave Room of Energy Preparedness. There will be additional input encouraged from the general public, which is limited to 3 minutes per person.

Please attend the press conference and hearing that day, and encourage other concerned citizens, as well as your friends and associates, to join you.

# Critical Mass - Friday 7/28 6pm Justin Herman Plaza: Market @ Embarcadero
critical-mass.org Bring bicycle, helmet, light, costume, music...
Maybe we can encourage the people who block cross traffic to:
wait until the mass arives at that intersection, so as to offend as few drivers as possible.
Definitely hold up / wait before blocking major intersections. BECAUSE
It would be nice to be visible to as many pedestrians and motorists as possible while
offending/ delaying as few motorists as possible.
Pissing them off is just gonna make them anti-bike.

# August 10th through 14
July 2006 is the month to Bring the War Home to cities across the
nation with Direct Action and Civil Disobedience to shut down all metropolitan
areas. Then organizers from around the world will converge on DC August
10th through the 14th to confront the true war machine.

SHUT DOWN DC: August 10th through 14th, 2006. There will be massive
decentralized direct action against all government and corporate
entities.

The vast majority of government and corporate war profiteers are based
in DC, and its time they experience war first hand. Let's bring the war to
their homes, their offices, their parties and everywhere else they go.

As long as there is a war abroad, we must also have a war at home. With
the Iran war looming, the Iraq war lingering, and dozens of other wars
raging, it is long past time to bring the war home.

With thousands expected to descend on our fair city, mass housing, free
vegan food, and a convergence space will all be available. Mark your
calendars, tell your friends, plan to come to DC August 10th through
14th, 2006.

More information and details will be coming, and our website should be
up soon. Keep checking back for more details. In the meantime email

# SRL August 11 in San Jose
Anyone heard of Survival Research Labratories? These guys are a
hoot, and they are coming to town!

If you've ever seen Seamen at BM, SRL is the authentic article.
These guys regularly get kicked out of town the night before the
event by the fire marshals. Of course, that's not going to happen on
the 11th, but the show will not be something to be missed. All the
drama of a war zone with the choreography of Cirque Du Soleil. But
bring your earplugs! A gas mask isn't a bad idea to pack if you have
one handy, but it's unlikely you would need it these days.

The last show I saw of theirs was legend, out on pier 70 in SF about
a decade ago. -Brian

# September 8 - 21 Announcing Camp Democracy
Announcing Camp Democracy
Cindy Sheehan to Move Camp to National Mall
Cindy Sheehan and activists in the growing peace movement plan to
move Camp Casey to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., September
8 - 21. The camp on the Mall will carry the name Camp Democracy at
Fort Fed Up. Organizers intend the camp to bring together peace
activists with activists for social justice, united in demanding a
shift of public resources from war to the needs of people.
Participants will lobby Congress to end all funding of the
occupation of Iraq, and will demand that Congress hold the Bush
Administration accountable for the falsehoods that launched the war
and the abuses of power here at home that have accompanied it. Camp
Democracy is launching an outreach effort to include organizations
in the planning of the camp's activities, which are all in the
initial stages. Organizations already on board are listed on the
website:
campdemocracy.org
Participating organizations and guest experts and celebrities will
provide workshops and training sessions on a wide range of issues,
as well as on communications, voter registration, nonviolent civil
disobedience, lobbying, organizing, media production, and
performance arts. Congress Members and congressional candidates will
take part. Local elected officials will instruct attendees on
participation in local government. Musicians will perform concerts.
New films will be shown on a large screen. Participants will acquire
useful skills while demanding fundamental change.
Individuals can sign up and plan to come:
campdemocracy.org/user/2
And volunteer to help:
campdemocracy.org/about
Organizations, large and small, can sign up to participate:
campdemocracy.org/node/3
Organizations, trainers, speakers, educators, and performers should
propose activities that they believe would benefit thousands of
citizens who want to work for change:

Administration and Congress. Tents will provide activist activities,
trainings, workshops, and entertainment on these themes: War/ Peace/
Nonviolence | The Constitution/ Accountability/ Censure/ Impeachment

This Sept 11, 2006 a new era will dawn on America. On that day the
people will convene and move through the legal recourse needed to
redress the government. At no other time in our nations history has so
important a moment drawn near. As the war of lies passes the $500
Billion debt mark and 3000 US dead along with 100,000's in the nation
we "saved", as freedom and liberty has been sold out to a federal
police force, as all Americans have been affected by corporate and
limited liability governments and municipal codes, time has come for
the change
