Black History Month event: The Conductor is a musical presentation
celebrating the works of Seth Concklin who was a white abolitionist of the
1850's. Seth Concklin worked with the Underground Railroad, which was a
secret movement to assist slaves from the South into the North where they
could find freedom. There will be poetry, songs, African dancing, African
drumming (provided by Drumagic), and readings from Cocnklin's personal
letters. Special guest performers will be donating their time to present
this celebration of the life of Seth Concklin. Presented during Black
History month, this is a very unique show that honors Seth Conclkin who
paid the ultimate sacrifice for what he believed in. William Still, the
father of the Underground Railroad stated: "In the long list of names
who have suffered and died in the cause of freedom, not one, perhaps,
could be found whose efforts to redeem poor family slaves were more
Christ-like than Seth Conclkin's". Ticket donations: $10 at the
Fresno Art Museum (2233 N. First). Sponsored by: American Legion Post #511

Do you think you and your community’s auto insurance premiums are too
high? Your ZIP Code may be the reason. That's because the insurance
industry often decides how much to charge for your auto coverage by
putting greater weight on your ZIP code than they do on how well you
drive. For example, a woman with 22 years of driving experience and no
accidents or traffic violations who moves from Carmel (93923) to Fresno
(93727) saw her annual premium with one leading insurance company increase
from $1,095 to $1,714 --over $600--for the same coverage, same car, same
driving record! You can help end this injustice. Insurance Commissioner
Garamendi is holding town hall meetings to get public comment on this
practice of ZIP-Code rating. By attending these hearings, you and your
organization can tell the Commissioner how ZIP-Code rating affects your
lives. With your support we can ensure that the Commissioner will change
the way auto insurance premiums are set. The hearing is:
When: Tuesday, March 9, in Fresno, at 6:00 p.m.
Where: California State University - Fresno, Craig University Business
Center, Peters Business Bldg., Room 191, 5245 North Backer Avenue

To demonstrate overwhelming majority support for a woman's right to choose
safe, legal abortion and birth control, the largest pro-choice majority in
history will march on Washington on Sunday April 25, 2004. For the first
time ever this pro-choice march is a collaborative effort - four leading
national women's rights groups have come together to organize this
momentous event. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the Feminist
Majority, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and National Organization for Women
are the principal organizers of the March for Women's Lives and have
pooled efforts and resources to lay the groundwork.
The march will begin at noon from the Lincoln Memorial, although participants may begin assembling as early as 10 a.m. After marching on Washington, a rally will be held from 1-4 p.m. on the National Mall. Special seating will be available for people with disabilities. The rally program will be signed for the hearing impaired.

Labor Day is the day working families celebrate and rededicate themselves
to guaranteeing that every worker has the freedom to form a union without
employer interference. We know that: + Union members earn 26 percent more
than their nonunion counterparts. + More than 75 percent of union workers
have health benefits. Less than half of nonunion workers have health
coverage. + Nearly 70 percent of union workers have a pension. Only 14
percent of nonunion workers have one.
+ The 10 states where unions are strongest have higher earnings, better health coverage, less crime, more civic participation, less poverty and better schools than the 10 states where union membership is lowest. That is why more and more of America's workers want union jobs or want a union where they work. More than 42 million nonunion workers say they want to join a union. However, employers often harass and intimidate workers when they join together to form their union. That is wrong, often illegal and most definitely a violation of the human rights of those workers. Independent research shows that, + 25 percent of employers illegally fire at least one worker for union activity during organizing campaigns. + 75 percent of employers hire union-busters to fight union organizing. + 78 percent of employers force employees to attend one-on-one meetings with their own supervisors against the union. + 52 percent of employers threaten to call the Immigration and Naturalization Service during organizing that includes undocumented workers. + 51 percent of companies threaten to close the plant if the union wins the election, however, less than 1 percent ever actually do that.

Take Back The Night is a gathering and march that will be held at the
Fresno State Peace Garden. It is an international event that made its
first US debut in San Francisco in 1978. Now, it is celebrated all over
the US, with the essence of making the night safer for everyone,
especially women.
"The purpose of Take Back The Night is to unify women, men, and children in an awareness of violence against women, children, and families," according to Campus Outreach Services, an online resource "on today’s critical gender issues." www.campusoutreachservices.com
During the gathering, there will be speakers with diverse life experiences surrounding domestic violence and sexual assault. There will also be community awareness groups providing information to the college community and the Fresno area. The march, a symbolic act of "taking back the night," will take place after the speakers and candle light vigil that marks a moment of silence in memory of those who lost their lives due to violence.
An "open mike" session will conclude the event and will offer individuals the opportunity to respond to the issues of violence against women and sexual assault in a comfortable environment of acknowledgment, support, and advocacy. In the weeks prior to the event, the Women’s Alliance will provide the opportunity for individuals to participate in this gathering by designing luminaries, as well as placing ribbons on the Spiral of Healing memorial quilt. The quilt was designed to remember those women who have been victims of violence - - those who survived and those who did not.
Take Back the Night is sponsored by the Women’s Alliance and the Women’s Resource Center. For more information, please call the Fresno State Women’s Resource Center at 278-4435.
