From geothermal heat pumps using the earth as a huge thermal buffer to wind turbines elegantly spinning in the breeze and the many incarnations of solar energy between earth and sky, this event offers local residents an opportunity to find out how their neighbors are trimming their energy bills, increasing their energy independence, and taking steps to address global warming. This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in solar and other renewable energies to view installations and talk with building owners, builders, architects, and planners about their experiences. We invite you to join us on the next Minnesota Solar Tour! See renewable energy technology in action, and meet people who have learned from experience. http://www.mnrenewables.org/solar-tour --------2 of 11-------- From: Do It Green!

"Neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement (NSM) has threatened to demonstrate against an anti-racist workshop being held at the YWCA on East Lake Street in Minneapolis. The NSM has declared the anti-racist organizers 'traitors' to white supremacy. This provocation also has a wider goal: The NSM has been holding racist anti-immigrant rallies in southern Minnesota, and now they are seeking to establish a presence inside the City of Minneapolis. For years Minneapolis has been a virtual "no-go" area for organized racist activity, due to the efforts of young anti-racist organizers. In the wake of the racist attacks in Brooklyn Park last week, the Nazi's threat cannot be ignored. They plan to bring their racist, homophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic message of division and hate right into the heart of the city. They must not go unopposed!" Endorsed by: WAMM.

Michael Moore's new movie will open millions of people's eyes to the realities of life under capitalism. It is a system based on the ruthless exploitation of the many by the few. As he put it, "It's an economic system that doesn't work. It's not fair, it's not democratic, it's not just and it's got to go." But what should replace it? Is socialism the answer? Come join the Workers International League and Socialist Appeal magazine in a discussion of Moore's new film, which premieres on October 2nd. After the discussion, those who have not yet seen the film can join us to watch it. Please join our Facebook group for the event.

In July 2006, bicyclist Fong Lee was killed by a Minneapolis police officer in front of a north Minneapolis elementary school. Last May, an all-white federal jury exonerated officer Jason Anderson of using excessive force on the teenager who was shot eight times in the back. Allegations that a gun was planted near Lee's body were ruled irrelevant to the case. For more information about the trial http://www.hmongtoday.com/page11504436.aspx The Lee family's quest for truth does not end with the ruling given in May, and the family has continued the long path towards legal justice.

Why pay to be shut up, closed down, tasered, batoned, humiliated in the service of corporations? The total hours spent doing those things shows us just how many cops can and should be let go. Why pay to be oppressed? How dumb do they think we are? Hmmm... -ed] --------11 of 11-------- Obama's pied piper pop tune has changed from "Yes we can!" to "No I won't."
