#1 March 20-24: Anniversary of Shock & Awe at
Chapman University
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Come join Students for Peaceful Empowerment, Action
and Knowledge (SPEAK) of Chapman University as we
commemorate the 3-year-anniversary of "Shock and Awe"
with a week-long look at U.S. foreign policy throughout the
world, especially in Iraq. 3 long years, and still, IRAQ. A
week of awareness, remembrance, and reaction on the
war in Iraq.
Monday March 20 through Friday March 24, displays will
be up in the plaza between the Leatherby Libraries and
Beckman Hall, educating students about U.S. foreign policy,
from the colonization of the now-United States and the
genocide of Indigenous peoples, to involvement in Latin
America, the war in Vietnam, and Iraq, among other
examples. The centerpiece of our display will be a visual
representation of the tragedy of the Iraq War.
In the evenings throughout the week, we will have
various events in conjunction with the week-long display.
On Tuesday March 21 there will be a FREE screening
of "I Know I'm Not Alone". Follow world-renowned
singer-songwriter Michael Franti as he and
his guitar explore Iraq, Palestine and Israel.
The event is in Argyros Forum Rm. 211 at 7:30 pm.
On Wednesday March 22 we will be hosting an Open Forum
Discussion about the war. Come share your thoughts,
anger, concerns. Let your voice be heard! This will be in
Argyros Forum Rm. 201 at 8:30 pm.
On Thursday March 23 at 7 pm is an Open Mic night on
the Argyros Forum Patio--anyone is welcome to come with
poems, reflections, songs, etc. about the war. Following
the open mic, will be a candlelight procession and peace
vigil. Come join in a night of hope and solidarity.
Please join us! For more information, contact SPEAK at

#3 Video Night in Huntington Beach Thursday, March 30th
Reminder to all those that yearn for freedom now. We have
been showing progressive videos to the residents of
Huntington Beach since November 2000. Bring a film that
you feel we should see and the group votes on it. We have
vegan snacks and a wide selection of videos and DVDs that
you can borrow to show to more of your riends and neighbors.
Next video night is Thursday, March 30th at 7pm. We watch
a video/dvd share some food and talk about how we feel after.
The Clubhouse is at the corner of Modale and Chapel in
Huntington Beach. There is no address but there are directions
at the end of this email and at the website also found at the
closing of this email. This is a great way to educate yourself
and learn about the worldwide peace and social justice movement.
It is not just about ending the illegal war in Iraq.
If you would like to come and bring something let me know so
we can plan the next meeting.
We can always use help with outreach and setup.
Peace.

at Chapman Univ. Tuesday, April 4th
Controversial Media Critic to Speak at Chapman University
CONTACT: Allen Levy (714) 744 7017

ORANGE, CA.----Controversial media critic Robert Jensen,
recently named one of the "101 Most Dangerous Academics
in America" by conservative pundit David Horowitz, will present
his ideas in his speech, "The Media: Citizens of the Empire" on
April 4, 2006 in Argyros Forum 209 A & B
at 4:00 PM
on Chapman University's Orange campus.
The speech will be part of the ongoing Colloquium series
sponsored by Chapman's Department of Communication
Studies, a division of Chapman's School of Arts And
Communication.
Jensen, Professor of Journalism and Ethics at the University
of Texas at Austin, will explore the role the media has played
in the creation and extension of the American Empire, an
Empire fueled by information technology, commercial
ambitions and military might. He will offer a progressive,
provocative, stinging, yet thoughtful, view of the situation.
Robert Jensen is the author of The Heart of Whiteness:
Confronting Race, Racism And White Privilege (2005), and
Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle to Claim our Humanity
(2004). He also appears regularly, offering his progressive
point- of-view, on Joe Scarborough's news show on MSNBC.

providing clothes, house supplies, appliances, and anything
else donated that would be of use to the lower income families
which we work with in our community.
Books Not Bombs. BNB collects and redistrubutes reading
material, preferably progressive and historical writings,
and offers them to the community at no cost. BNB looks to
collect, among others, childrens books to be distrubuted to
Las Palmas Elememtary School, located across from the
park which SCFNB serves at.
Finally, SCFNB has begun a small collection of youth working
to send items and love into the prison industrial complex.

*************************************************
#7 Every Sunday evening in Huntington Beach:
"Peace vigil every Sunday night at the foot of the
Huntington Beach Pier, 7-8 pm
It's hard for most people to imagine a world at peace.
We are a very small group of people who believe that
this is indeed possible and that peace will happen once
enough people believe that it can. So we stand at the
pier every Sunday night with a sign that says:
"Visualize World Peace. It's up to you".
We also believe in non-violence both physically
and in our thoughts. We will discuss peace and
non-violence with anyone who is rational and
smile quietly at those who aren't. We hold this vigil
in a spirit of dignity and respect for all as we try
to build bridges with those who don't share our
philosophy.
Please bring a candle or just help us hold up our
banner (no signs please; we have our banner!)
