Hey folks, Ross has confirmed that he will participate in our event on April 27. Also, please check out the letters below and the one about Mid-Market in some other e-mail I recently sent. Let's get them printed out as quickly as possible and signed and sent. The one to Speier about SB810 is now moot. John-Marc, Emily Drennen would like to be added to this thread. Do you have her e-mail?

Advertising for 4/27 Movie Screening
by christine mcclintock 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Hello, I've been workin on getting the word out for the 4/27 event, and had a couple of questions. John-Marc, do you still have the contact list for all the people who couldn't get in last time? We should contact them - is this an email list? Do you have it handy? Can you just send it to me? Also, how do we get listed in the weekly events - are you handling this now, too? And what about getting it listed on the website - who should I talk to about that? I was also wondering about really coordinating with GROW this time - get some tabling done, and I think they might be able to help us with the door, as well. Who's really the head of GROW - is this Micheas, or Mark Barnes? Any other suggestions on advertising outlets? THANKS! Christine

On the other hand, we could all read the article before the second screening, discuss it, and come up with some questions to throw into the discussion based on the reading.

I am still cringing from a presentation about transport policy last night by Berkeley's Andy Singer in which we all had to endure one member of the audience's tedious repetition of dogma from the 19th Century that never really engaged with the issues being discussed. =v= This is, in my experience, almost always the scenario with something labelled "a socialist point of view" in the U.S. I would of course be delighted if you mean something else. =v= I thought the whole point of the Green movement was to move forward from past ideological dogmas into, well, the 20th Century, at least. Would it not make more sense to discuss this from a *Green* point of view (4 pillars or 10 key values)? <_Jym_> Not left nor right, but forward.

working group meeting
by Jerry Path 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

Hi All, I would like to add something to our meeting on Tuesday the 26th of April. I would like to very briefly plan for a discussion of peak oil - and the various viewpoints on it - by our working group. This would be not at the Tuesday meeting, but at some future date. As part of this discussion I would like to include the article I passed out to people "Ecology against Capitalism" - Richard Heinberg discusses the problem from an anarchist point of view - which I think has a lot of merit - but I think we should also look at it form a socialist point of view. By the way I think this article would also be useful to read before hearing Peter Camejo. If anyone needs a copy I could bring some more if you let me know. Best to all - Jerry Path Jerry Path pjrry(a)igc.org Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.

I guess you could put Ross down as invited, though not confirmed. Cheryl in Ross's office called and left a message saying that he would do it if his schedule permitted, but they didn't yet know.
