DASW Outreach and Public Speaking Skill Share - 6pm - 7.30pm Tuesday Feb. 19th
PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLSHARE 6pm – 7.30pm Tuesday February 19th
Global Exchange Offices; 2017 Mission Street, San Francisco
Are you interested or are you already doing outreach to organizations, schools and allies to encourage them to participate in the Stop the Iraq War Actions on March 15th and March 19th? Then this workshop is for you!
The DASW Outreach group is hosting a public speaking skill share for folks that want to learn, share and practice short public presentations (five minutes or less) that are designed to inspire folks in your network and beyond to get involved in the actions on March 15th and March 19th. During this interactive workshop we’ll review a basic public speaking structure, share information on what “messaging” is proving effective and how we’re asking folks to get involved, and practicing our “pitch”.

[save oaks] Wed Feb 20 4:30pm at the Oak Grove - join the Berkeley Grandmothers for the Oaks
Memorial Grove, UCB. Piedmont @ Bancroft.
Dear Friends of the Oak Grove,
Tuesday at 6am, UC Police ascended into the oak grove trees and cut down many food and water containers along with several sleeping platforms, a vast number of climbing ropes, tarps, and waste buckets. Although UC Police did not directly assault any tree-sitters this morning, the action represents UC Police's attempt to tighten the noose, cut off tree-sitters from community member support and supplies. Cutting down the ropes, tarps, platforms and other equipment makes life vastly less safe for the tree-sitters.
In response, the Berkeley Grandmothers for the Oaks issued a special invitation:
"Please join us for a special resupply effort - to help replace what the tree-sitters lost - tomorrow (Wed) at 4:30pm. We hope to see you there. Let's help the tree-sitters live comfortably, peacefully, and safely in the trees."
PS - Judge Miller is expected to rule on the lawsuit to protect the grove sometime in late March or April.
For the trees, Save the Oaks Campaign

Wed Feb 20 LUNAR eclipse 7pm
partial eclipse - will come at 5:43 p.m. It won't be dark then, but the
evening light will be dim enough to see the moon itself gradually grow
fainter.
At 7:01 p.m., the shadow of the Earth will cover the moon entirely, and
the eclipse will be total.
Totality will end at 7:51 p.m., and then, as the shadow slowly passes off
the moon, the eclipse will be partial again - until 9:09 p.m. when the
partial eclipse will be over, leaving the full moon shining brightly once more.

The Hawaii Pavilion at the 1915 Exposition introduced the ukulele and the music of Hawaii to the world.
Ka’ala Carmack, Honolulu-born, is an accomplished musician and singer. He is the founder and instructor of the ukulele and Hawaiian singing ensemble J-Town Hui, and will perform songs with many of his students.

Good Vibrations is proud to present Simone de Corday, as she signs and reads excerpts from her new book, 9 ½ YEARS BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR: A Mitchell Brothers Stripper Remembers her Lover Artie Mitchell, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, and the Killing that Rocked San Francisco
In San Francisco in the 1980s, The Mitchell Brothers’ O’Farrell Theater had a mystique of romance and energy, sparked by its iconic patrons and radical owners. Corday divulges her first hand experiences at the place Hunter S. Thompson referred to as "the Carnegie Hall of public sex," conveying its magnetism and revealing its backroom secrets. Simone Corday captures that moment in time: one of grit and appetite, uninhibited sex and frustrated love, revolution and aspiration.

Good Vibrations is proud to present Monica Lundy in our Polk Street Gallery. Join the artist and friends for a special reception of the artist’s figure paintings. Monica explains: “The body is the source of human experience. My objective is to explore my relationship to and interpretation of the body. Inspired by the topography of the body, I "sculpt" thick oil paint with palette knives according to how I perceive volume and form. Working with the palette knife also allows decisive mixing and application of subtle variations in paint color. Analyzing and reconstructing colors and the movement of skin intrigue me.”

SAVE THE DATE for The Big One!!!!!! June 20,21 & 22
“I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues…”
Save the Date I say, I do, I do, June twenty, twenty one and twenty two.
The Big One is Coming and coming it will.
“A Village of Solutions” we will discuss our pollutions and rebuild our constitutions.
So save the date I say…there is nothing to pay.
You see it is free for you and me and even a truffula tree.

"I care not what puppet is placed on
the throne of England to rule the Empire, ...
The man that controls Britain's money
supply controls the British Empire.
And I control the money supply.''
-- Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild
(1777-1836) London financier, one of the founders of the international Rothschild banking dynasty
http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Nathan.Mayer.Rothschild.Quote.4F94

"The Rothschilds, and that class of money-lenders of whom they are the representatives and agents -- men who never think of lending a shilling to their next-door neighbors, for purposes of honest industry, unless upon the most ample security, and at the highest rate of interest -- stand ready, at all times, to lend money in unlimited amounts to those robbers and murderers, who call themselves governments, to be expended in shooting down those who do not submit quietly to being robbed and enslaved."
-- Lysander Spooner
(1808-1887) Political theorist, activist, abolitionist
Source: "No Treason #6" (1870)
http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Lysander.Spooner.Quote.4F91

"To expose a 4.2 Trillion dollar ripoff of the American people
by the stockholders of the 1000 largest corporations over the last
one-hundred years will be a tall order of business."
-- Buckminster Fuller
[Richard Buckminster Fuller] (1895-1983) American visionary, designer, architect, poet, author, and inventor
http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Buckminster.Fuller.Quote.4FAA

"Inflation has now been institutionalized at a fairly constant 5% per year. This has been determined to be the optimum level for generating the most revenue without causing public alarm. A 5% devaluation applies, not only to the money earned this year, but to all that is left over from previous years. At the end of the first year, a dollar is worth 95 cents. At the end of the second year, the 95 cents is reduced again by 5%, leaving its worth at 90 cents, and so on. By the time a person has worked 20 years, the government will have confiscated 64% of every dollar he saved over those years. By the time he has worked 45 years, the hidden tax will be 90%. The government will take virtually everything a person saves over a lifetime."
-- G. Edward Griffin
America Historian, Author
http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/G..Edward.Griffin.Quote.BB68

"We have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world--no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men."
-- Woodrow Wilson
(1856-1924) 28th US President
1913
