Paving the Way to ProsperityLast year, we marched on Labor Day calling for health care reform—and we won! But the economic crisis, created by the greed of the big corporations, continues to devastate our nation: ♦ We have lost 8 million jobs. ♦ 1.2 million families have lost or are losing their homes. ♦ Millions of workers have seen their rights to organize and bargain for better wages and working conditions trampled. This deep and widely felt pain creates the conditions for change, brought about by a true movement of the majority for an America where: ♦ Moms and dads have jobs to support their families, shop at local stores, and revive the American Dream. ♦ The super-rich who have benefited the most from our recent prosperity pay what they really can to maintain the road to renewed prosperity for all of us. | |||||||

In 1979 Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986 Ronald Reagan removed them. Next week, Bill McKibben and a team of students from Unity College in Maine will be traveling to Washington D.C. to deliver one of the original Carter panels to President Obama, asking him to reinstall solar on the White House, and to follow this symbolic gesture with substantial legislative action. We're calling it the Solar Road Trip, and we hope you'll be able to celebrate with us when the panel makes a stop in Boston on its way to D.C. Here are the details of the event: 5:30pm - Bicycle pedal-powered climate rock band, Melodeego 6:00pm - Guest Speakers, including Bill McKibben, Tony Cortese of Second Nature, representatives from Students for a Just and Stable Future and Interfaith Power and Light Start: 7:00 pm

Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002—and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media. And when the government tried to turn his death into war propaganda, they took on the wrong family. From her home in the Santa Cruz mountains, Pat’s mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family’s crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son’s life and death. Featuring candid and revelatory interviews with Pat’s fellow soldiers as well as his family, Amir Bar-Lev’s emotional and insightful film not only shines a light on the shady aftermath of Pat’s death and calls to task the entire chain of command but also examines themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself. | |||||||

Steve Grossman is running for State Treasure of MA on the Democratic ticket. He has been on the Board of AIPAC Lobby for over a dozen years and President of AIPAC during the 90s -- yet none of this information is listed on his website. We are looking for transparency. When we have had the opportunity to push him in public he says his AIPAC connection is '"irrelevant " to being Sec of State. We think that is up to Massachusetts voters. More relevant apparently is his participation in a local food bank, Big Brother and being on the Board of the MFA. Meantime, over the past two years he has been persistent and instrumental in pressing for Massachusetts divestment of pension funds in Iran bond (this year successful) -- despite the fund managers opposition, saying it will cost at least $5 million just to carry out the divestment process. | |||||||

WHAT: Bring your signs, chants and outrage at this latest attack on freedom of expresion and political dissent The government of Barack Obama is responsible for the acts of the FBI and we should demand an explanation and an immediate stop to the persecution of progressive activists. People in the U.S. should remember the Palmer Raids of yesteryears and say that we will not tolerate a repeat of history. We also have to work towards repealing the law that allows the state to persecute progressives: the Patriot Act.

Film Showing and DiscussionThis compelling and haunting documentary of war’s “silent casualty” -- the environment -- explores the under-reported, even ignored, ecological ramifications of war. Weaving together scientific and eyewitness accounts from Vietnam and Afghanistan to Australia and the Pacific Islands, supported by onsite and archival footage, Scarred Lands & Wounded Lives vividly portrays the long-term damage to our planet resulting from the testing and production of weapons through the array of destruction from bombs, chemicals, guns and unexploded ordnance. The film confronts the immensely broad environmental devastation of war: pollution of our land, air and water and destruction of our biodiversity and entire ecosystems. Start: 7:30 pm
