Milwaukee, Wisconsin screening of American Blackout

Many have heard of the alleged voting irregularities that occurred during the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Until now, these incidents have gone under-reported and are commonly written-off as insignificant rumors or unintentional mishaps resulting from an overburdened election system.

American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of voter disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. McKinney not only took an active role investigating these election debacles, but has found herself in the middle of her own after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

CONFERENCE ON PRESIDENTIAL POWERS
APRIL 26-27 AT MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL OF LAW

As an embattled President Bush enters his final year in office and the electorate searches for his successor, a timely two-day conference on why presidents succeed or fail will draw eminent political scientists to the campus of the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover April 26-27.
Reflecting the urgency of the times, the conference is the second on the presidency sponsored by the law school in the past two years. In October, 2006, MSL’s widely acclaimed conference on “Presidential Power in America” tracked “the history of the powers concentrated in the hands of the chief executive from the creation of the American Republic to the present,” according to Lawrence Velvel, the law school’s dean and cofounder.

As you may be aware, the Longshoremen are stopping work on the west coast on May 1st to protest the continued war in Iraq.
Since we were not aware of any "official" union actions in support of ILWU locally, the ad hoc May Day committee, made up of members of the Reno Antiwar Coalition, took it on ourselves to call for a solidarity demonstration outside the Federal Building at 10 a.m. on May 1st, demanding an end to the occupation.  Please join us there.  Any help you can provide is appreciated.

MAKE MAYDAY A "NO PEACE, NO WORK HOLIDAY"!

The following was written by Jack Heyman a longshoreman who works on the Oakland docks.

Longshoremen to close ports on West Coast to protest war

While millions of people worldwide have marched against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and last week's New York Times/CBS News poll indicated that 81 percent believe the country is headed in the wrong direction - key concerns being the war and the economy - the war machine inexorably grinds on.

Amid this political atmosphere, dockworkers of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union have decided to stop work for eight hours in all U.S. West Coast ports on May 1, International Workers' Day, to call for an end to the war.

Five Years after "Mission Accomplished"

On the 5th anniversary of President Bush's declaration of "Mission Accomplished", the Center for American Progress will reflect on the past five years at war.

This event is part of the Center for American Progress Series, The Impact of Five Years in Iraq

The Center for American Progress will host a series of events and produce several analyses in the coming weeks examining the course of the war in Iraq and proposing the next steps for U.S. policy in Iraq. The series will include speeches by prominent policymakers and panel discussions on important aspects of Iraq policy and its effects on U.S. national security. The Center will also release updated analyses examining the current policy in Iraq and providing an alternative direction.

Start: 12:00

Hear professors, students and staff speak about the truth behind five years of war and colonial occupation that are destroying Iraq and Afghanistan.

Learn more about the real history of this and other wars, and struggles for workers rights going back to the origins of “May Day,” when immigrant and U.S.-born workers joined together to fight for the eight-hour day.

Today, history is being made by workers in the United States using their power against the war: the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has decided to shut down all 29 West Coast ports for a full 8-hour shift against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We will show solidarity with this exciting action of the Longshore workers, who have a long history of fighting against racism, repression and war.
And we will discuss what we can learn from this crucial event and where we go from here.

MASS RALLY for IMMIGRANT & WORKER RIGHTS

Thursday May 1st
12 p.m. Gather at Union Square
14th Street and Broadway
4 p.m. Rally & March

May Day 2008 is critically important. Will the optimism and hope expressed around the Presidential elections translate into an end of immigrant raids & deportations? Will it bring an end to the foreclosures of homes, the lowering of gas and food prices, or an end to lay-offs?

Whatever the outcome in November, the May 1st Coalition for Immi­grant and Worker Rights will be marching once again on May Day, International Workers Day, to say no to all the attacks against workers here and around the world.

We call on the progressive community, the anti-war movement, the women’s & lgbt movement, and especially on the labor movement, to come out for May Day 2008. March for solidarity, because an injury to one is an injury to all!

We say:

A Day of Action for Immigrant Rights
Thursday, May 1st

Pickets at the RNC and DNC offices on Capitol Hill:

Gather at the Capitol South Metro at 12:30 pm

Mass Rally in Malcolm X Park: 4PM
March through the Community: 6PM
16th and Euclid Sts. NW Washington D.C.
Metro: Columbia Heights

With national elections underway, this is a critical time for advocates of justice for immigrant communities to raise our voices in solidarity. Raids and deportations continue to tear families apart, both across the country and within the Washington metropolitan region. We aim to challenge the climate of fear that these raids have produced and to show that the immigrant community will not be silenced. We invite all organizations committed to the struggle for social justice to join us in making this mobilization a success.

Our demands include:

* Immigration Reform with Justice and Dignity for All
* Stop the Raids, Deportations, and Use of No-Match Letters

Bath, Maine screening of American Blackout

Many have heard of the alleged voting irregularities that occurred during the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Until now, these incidents have gone under-reported and are commonly written-off as insignificant rumors or unintentional mishaps resulting from an overburdened election system.

American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of voter disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. McKinney not only took an active role investigating these election debacles, but has found herself in the middle of her own after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
