As part of the Humanities and Sciences’ Conference, “Visions of War; the arts represent conflict”, on Saturday, October 24, 2009, The Film and Animation Department will screen a series of films addressing the spiritual, emotional, and psychological wounds of war from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the SVA Theater. Following the screenings a panel will discuss "The Scars of War: Healing Through the Arts" and will take questions from the audience. The panel will be moderated by screenwriter/playwright/Vietnam combat veteran David Berry who is a member of the SVA Film Department faculty. Panelists include film artists/combat veterans (screenwriters and directors), a psychologist with over three decades of experience treating Vietnam veterans, and a retired Army Colonel who has become a major spokesperson for those demanding official recognition and treatment of female victims of violence in the military.

Panelists include:

Money for jobs and benefits, not for more war

In this time of global capitalist crisis, when millions are unemployed and millions more facing evictions and foreclosures, we must demand that the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on current U.S. wars and the trillions that would criminally wasted in a new war be spent for jobs, health care and housing for poor and working people in the U.S. and around the world.

We urge your endorsement and support of these simple demands.

1. We oppose military aggression by the U.S., Britain, or Israel against Iran.
2. We oppose economic, diplomatic or other sanctions against Iran whatever their excuse.
3. We demand an end to subversion, de-stabilization, covert actions instigated by the U.S. and its military or spy agencies directed at Iran.

I endorse these 3 demands

Want to do something this July 4 that is REALLY different, full of fun, warmth and community and a TRUE evocation of Independence Day's meaning? Something right here in an accessible part of Manhattan, AND no ants (or very few)!

I am referring to our Third Annual Reading (aloud) of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence in Central Park's glorious Strawberry Fields where the spirit of John Lennon resides. This event, hosted by the eminent civil liberties attorney, Norman Siegel, and a group of his most grateful clients, the Granny Peace Brigade, is unique in the United States, we believe, and really not to be missed.
