The film “Countdown to Zerø” opens at Kendall Square Cinema on July 30th. This controversial film begins to explore the case for a nuclear weapons free world. Variety calls Countdown to Zerø “a politically urgent picture; it will also literally scare the breath out of what will certainly be a worldwide audience.“ The film has problems -- it does not criticize dangerous US nuclear policies nor chart the path to nuclear abolition, and it accentuates fear of terrorism. But it focuses more attention on the nuclear abolition issue.

The World Café is an approach to conversation that allows large groups to participate in rotating small group discussions that leave everyone feeling that they’ve been heard and that they’ve had a chance to hear from many others. We expect more than 100 participants. Based on the discussion from our last mass meeting on July 13, our goal is to continue the process of building relationships, understanding each other’s issues, and discovering how we can take action together.

We all have been under assault by a system that cares more about bank profits than people’s lives. We also know that there have been exciting examples of growing mass movements in Boston in response to those attacks. This event is supported by grassroots organizations such as City Life/Vida Urbana, Project Hip Hop, the Hotel Workers Union (Local 26), the Healthcare Workers Union (1199/SEIU), the City School, and other groups, such as the ISO, that have been part of those movements and part of the ad hoc ROC/Summer Institute workshops in Boston.
The idea is to use the momentum from the struggles for social justice going on right now in our communities, plus the momentum from the US Social Forum in Detroit - to build a broad-based movement that is powerful enough to make demands on the city’s powerbrokers.

National Priorites Project's latest webinar: Federal Budget 101 is a 15-minute presentation that will introduce people to the federal budgeting process and some of NPP's other resources. It offers a unique tool for organizers, activists, local and state officials and policy analysts interested in learning about the federal budget process and how to become involved in shaping it.
We are deeply disappointed in Sen. Brown’s ‘no’ vote on cloture for legislation that would bring more than $400 million in desperately needed federal relief funding to Massachusetts through the Federal Medicaid Assistance Program. Once again, the senator who promised that he’d remember the people of Massachusetts at every roll call has let the people down. Although Sen. Brown did not succeed in his effort to block passage of this crucial federal funding, he still did everything he could to keep this jobs-creating funding from reaching the Bay State. Led by Gabe Camacho of the American Friends Service Committee and Edwin Argueta, Massachusetts Jobs with Justice.
Additional Locations: Brockton • Office of Rep. Stephen Lynch • 155 West Elm Street (12:00-12:45) (NEW!)

Talk on Climate Change
"In every corner of the globe, we are polluting, diverting, pumping, and wasting our limited supply of fresh water at an expediential level as population and technology grows.. The rampant overdevelopment of agriculture, housing and industry increase the demands for fresh water well beyond the finite supply, resulting in the desertification of the earth.
Join the eminent scientist and activist Richard Levins for a thought-provoking conversation on "Failures, Errors & the Boundaries of Our Minds"
We mark the 63rd anniversary of the formal independence of South Asian countries from colonialism on this day. We affirm our commitment to the struggle for true democracy and social justice in South Asia and we express solidarity with all movements against injustice and oppression.
