Join us in Philly on Saturday, May 2nd, 2009. Activists from around the east coast are converging on the “Army Experience Center” (AEC), a 14,000 square foot atrocity built by the Department of Defense at a cost to taxpayers of $12 million. The AEC gives kids as young as 13 a chance to play extremely violent video games, as well as sit inside real Apache helicopters, tanks & humvees mounted with M-16 assault rifles. The youth are enticed to jump on board and kill the “hadjis”. Right next door is the largest indoor skateboarding park which attracts local youth. Kids can be seen going from having fun skateboarding to playing bloody “war games” sanctioned by the US Army. Start: 14:00
Shut Down the Army Experience Center at Franklin Mills Mall Killing is fun -- and life is cheap at the Army Experience Center at the Franklin Mills Mall in suburban Philadelphia. "This is so cool!" This is so cool!" The enthralled 13 year-old kept repeating as he squeezed rounds from his M-16, picking off "enemy combatants" while perched on a real Army Humvee. We're in the new Army Experience Center in suburban Philadelphia and the young teen, who doesn't look older than eleven, was obviously impressed with the Army's killing machines. "I just came to the mall to skateboard in the skate park across the hall but everyone said this was pretty cool. I just had to try it and its great!" Start: 14:00

A Powerful Model for Public Action A large-scale 'Bail-out working people - Not the Banks' teach-in' and mass mobilization planning meeting' scheduled for San Francisco May 9 is a hopeful harbinger of things to come.. This teach-in is heavily supported by organized labor and may well serve as a model for teach-ins in other areas. Such teach-ins can help to usher in a new era of greatly intensified grass-roots struggle against the power of finance capital in the U.S. and other countries with their anti-labor and anti-people policies. Teach-ins first appeared in the U.S. in the 1960's, when they played a major role in mobilizing mass resistance to the Vietnam War. A 'teach-in' involves peaches - and close interaction with the audience - by academic and social organizers seeking to inform students and the public about social or political matters which have reached the level of acute crisis.

Bail Out Working People - NOT the Banks! Learn about what is happening in the labor movement and in our communities to fight for the interests of working people.
Speakers to be announced. The bankers have organized themselves and vigorously lobbied for bailouts. We, working people, need to organize ourselves to demand policies in the interest of working people as whole. The government should defend our interests, not the interests of the rich. After all, we are the majority, and we had no part in creating this crisis. | ||
