Intersex Awareness Film Screening and Discussion
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 01/29/2008 - 3:13pm.'One in 2000'
Did you know that each year an estimated one in two thousand babies are born with anatomy that doesn't clearly mark them as either male or female - with what is known as an intersex condition? Join us for a screening and discussion of the provocative documentary, One in 2000, that demystifies the issue of sexual difference. Interweaving personal stories with educational films from the 1950's, One in 2000 invites us to take a serious second look at how the media have dealt with sexual "normality." Join us after the film for a discussion and Q & A with film maker Ajae Clearway and intersex activist Caitlin Childs.

Gay/Lesbian Equality
During this winter solstice time in America some of you will consider again the birth of babies in unlikely places, such as a particular middle-eastern stable during the Roman era approximately 2,000 years ago. And while reading about the 2007 Sissy Awards at www.advocate.com I got to thinking about another unlikely birth place, a particular lesbian womb of the early 21st century.
People's Movement Assembly
Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 12/01/2007 - 3:42pm.
On Saturday, Jan. 26, 2008, there will be global actions against injustice
in response to a call by the World Social Forum for the peoples of the world
to act in unison against war, poverty, exploitation, and environmental
degradation.
Atlanta, host city of the first US Social Forum, will be the
venue for a statewide People's Movement Assembly, beginning with a
caravan and rally at the state capitol.
Initiated by the organizers of the
annual Poor People's Day events at the
Capitol and inspired by 2008 being
the 40th anniversary of the historic Poor
People's Campaign for Economic
Justice launched by Dr. King, this multi-pronged
effort seeks to bring the
voice, aspirations, needs and demands of millions
of working and poor people
to the Georgia Capitol.
Following the caravan and rally, participants will
meet to exchange views,
plan ongoing actions and cement relationships and
networks.
Hundreds of volunteers are needed throughout the state to mobilize
their
communities.
