Hello Ani friends, hometown friends, friends in very distant places all
over
the world! :o)
Dear friends everywhere working for a better world,
Please join our upcoming event and submit your activist music!
Please circulate this post far and wide! It is very hard to get info about
minority and multicultural activist projects especally when you're on a
budget! Every event is free. :)
Today, we finished filming the first part of "Creating Social Justice
Communities." It is a non-fiction do***entary made in a music video style.
So far we have some great music by Zoe and if there are any
independent musicians or bands who would like their music included, please
send it as an mp3 to the below email with the subject line "Music Video
Do***entary." Be sure to say you give us permission to use it in the
video. This video will be anticopyrighted and circulated worldwide so its
a good chance for DIY promotion for you.

Tuseday, April 25th, 2006 we will be filming again at 516 Congress, in

Please join us!

04101
Lots of free refreshments will be served.
And then, after the Rescue Community Member meeting...
Time and Date: 5:00pm, There will be a presentation about the Imagine
Seven project.
Even if you are not interested in being part of the Rescue Community, we
invite you to learn about the Imagine Seven project.
It is a project in which seven progressive communities, cohousing groups,
ecovillages, families and not-for-profit organizations come together to
live on one property between 70 and 350 acres. In this way we could
afford to have a bio-diesel bus, solar powered energy and our own organic
farm.
What is it? The Imagine Seven Project... 7 Progressive Communities/Groups
Sharing 1 Property. Many people find cohousing popular, which is people
living individually with a common house. Why not create a shared town in
the same format?
This is a project in which 7 progressive communities, cohousing groups,
ecovillages, co-ops, social justice diversa-villages, large families and
not-for-profit groups come together to live on 1 property between 70 and
350 acres. In this way we could afford to have a bio-diesel bus, solar
powered energy and our own organic farm. We could also save incredible
amounts of funds by purchasing in bulk orders. In this way we could
afford
to purchase the organic seeds, organic food, ecologically friendly
household items and post-consumer recycled paper that are financially out
of reach for many of us. Most im****tantly, as 7 communities, we could
afford our own audio/video studio with 24 hour access because we must all
realize that unless we take back our media, none of our individual
efforts, protests or energy will matter at all. To learn more or to see a
printable map of this project, please visit our website. This project is
open to all progressive people, groups who are either in a community or
considering forming a community and not-for-profit groups interested in
relocating to a community setting. Can you imagine having no fear of peak
oil or global warming and being self-sustainable in a progressive town?
To learn more about this project or to see a map of this project,

And then, after the Imagine Seven project presentation...
Time and Date: 5:30pm, There will be live music and arts as well as lots
of delicious food, pizza and beverage! Plenty of snacks! All free. No
reservations needed. Please feel free to bring your instruments. Also
bring a cu****on as seating may be limited.
No matter where you're coming from, it's worth travelling to join us!
We welcome people of all races and social cl*****. This is a
multicultural, multiracial project and we look forward to seeing you
there!
