THE NEXT 3CTC ENVIRONMENTAL FORUM
A COMMUNITY DISCUSSION:
"STRAGEGIES FOR DEFENDING MOTHER EARTH & RESISTING ECOCIDE"
MONDAY, JULY 25, 7:00 PM
MAYDAY BOOKS
301 CEDAR AVENUE SOUTH
WEsT BANK, MINNEAPOLIS

Following up on the recent local showing of Franklin Lopez' edgy new film
END:CIV, 3CTC invites you to a discussion with Waziyatawin, Dakota
activist-scholar and featured interviewee in END:CIV.

We will seek to answer important questions posed in END:CIV. . .

*        At what point will we stop tolerating the destruction of the
ecosystems on which we depend for our survival?
*        When will we begin to actively resist this destruction?
*        What forms will this resistance take?

As an activist deeply committed to resisting the colonial grip of
civilization, Waziyatawin will offer her unique perspective and help
facilitate discussion.

** END:CIV  is a documentary based on the writings of Derrick Jensen.  You
may watch it online at:  http://endciv.com/

** Waziyatawin's projects have centered on Indigenous decolonization
strategies, including truth-telling and reparative justice, Indigenous women
and resistance, the recovery of Indigenous knowledge, and the development of
liberation ideology in Indigenous communities.  She is founder and director
of Oyate Nipi Kte, a nonprofit dedicated to the recovery of Dakota
traditional knowledge, sustainable ways of being, and Dakota liberation.
She is also the author of What Does Justice Look Like?  The Struggle for
Liberation in Dakota Homeland, published by Living Justice Press in St. Paul
and available at Mayday Books.

Sponsored by the Climate Chrisis Coalition of the Twin Cities (3CTC).  Free
& open to the public.  The Clean-Energy Vigil to Cool Down the Planet takes
place on the plaza outside the bookstore at 5:00 PM, followed by the 3CTC
Business Meeting at 6:00 PM.  All are welcome.  For more information, EMAIL:

Subject: GLBT 7.26 6pm

One of the ways that the Twin Cities' community is addressing
homelessness experienced by GLBT young people is through the GLBT Host
Home Program of Avenues for Homeless Youth, which offers a
transformative and community-based approach to providing gay, lesbian,
bisexual, and transgender youth with safe homes.  As volunteers of the
program, adults open their homes and their hearts to young people who
need and are looking for a healthy and nurturing connection.  If you are
interested in hearing more about this community building program, please 
come to one of the following informational meetings:

Tuesday, July 26, 6-8pm
@ Midtown YWCA
2121 East Lake Street
Minneapolis, MN 55407
www.ywca-minneapolis.org

OR

Thursday, July 28, 6-8pm
@ Midtown YWCA
2121 East Lake Street
Minneapolis, MN 55407
www.ywca-minneapolis.org

Come learn about the history of the GLBT Host Home Program and about the
application and screening process for potential volunteers. You will
also have an opportunity to hear from hosts who shared their homes with
youth.  See you there!
