FRIDAY, JULY 21

The Jack Pine will be hosting speakers from the H.O.P.E project, a
grassroots group in the New Orleans area committed to working with people
to rebuild in a just and sustainable way.  They will speak about the
personal effects of Hurricane Katrina, their efforts to rebuild their
neighborhoods, the environmental impacts, the needs returning residents
have now, and how we can link our local struggles to those that lead to
the racism brought to the surface by Hurricane Katrina.  This event may
also feature a screening of the Common Ground video "Solidarity not
Charity," and a discussion of tactics that have been used to respond to
the hurricane.  Free.

As always, feel free to stop by anytime to play some ping pong, hang out,
fool around on the internet, and chill with children.

Oh, and tell your junior rebels we say hi.
