Among the diverse students making this trip are Jews, Muslim and Christians who are equally passionate about the events taking place in the region. Humanity Unites is committed to bring value to our community in specific and measurable means. Therefore, in addition to supporting our students and due to the increasing job loss in our communities, we are dedicating the second part of the evening, to our newly added segment of "Needs and Wants" of the community. This segment is added to create networking opportunities for our guests. We will announce the current available job/business opportunities that may be of value to the community. Please RSVP your attendance as soon as possible to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 949.933.0343, as space is limited. Cost: $20 per person ******************************************* #2 Coastal Convergence Society Video Night: Awake From Your Slumber July 31 in Huntington Beach Thursday July 31, 2008 7pm - 9pm Coastal Convergence Society Video Night Round Table Pizza 19750 Beach Blvd, Huntington Beach (714) 963-9877 This months offering is a film from the makers of Independent Media in a Time of War, titled: Awake From Your Slumber, with Patti Smith and Ralph Nader. Awake From Your Slumber brings together two visionaries: citizen-activist Ralph Nader and punk poet Patti Smith, in a powerful dialogue of war and peace. Touring together as the Democracy Rising Peace Tour, Ralph and Patti make the case against the Iraq war and the corporate takeover of our democracy. This Hudson Mohawk Independent Media Center production mixes image, music and spoken word to strip away the facade of political lies and reveal the annihilation of civilazation, war profiteering, the unseen dead, and the unheard cries of mothers. Awake From Your Slumber is history lesson, poetry reading and rock concert. Above all, it is an inspiring, mesmerizing, and deeply moving call to action, showing the power of the people to make change. The HB Round Table Pizza Parlor is located on Beach Blvd between Adams and Yorktown in the Albertson's shopping center, just down the sidewalk from Mothers Market. I hope to see you all there.

We are meeting at the Irvine United Congregational Church (in Plumer Hall). At our July meeting we will be watching the movie Darfur Now and discussing the Human Rights situation in Darfur. Please bring a friend with you. Barbara English, founder of Orange County for Darfur, is an invited guest and will say a few words about her efforts. This event is open to the public and free. Refreshments will be served. Please join us for a showing of the movie Darfur now and a discussion on the issues surrounding the Human Rights crisis in Darfur (Sudan). We will also have suggested actions to take. With unprecedented access to the internally displaced people of Darfur, international aid workers, the Sudanese government and rebels, the critically acclaimed documentary Darfur Now explores the ongoing conflict in the Darfur region through the experiences of six individuals trying to stop the atrocities - Adam Sterling, a UCLA graduate working in Los Angeles; Hejewa Adam, a Darfuri woman who joins rebel forces; Pablo Recalde, leader of the World Food Programmeâs operations in West Darfur; Don Cheadle, the internationally known actor and activist; Sheikh Ahmed Mohammed Abakar, leader of a Darfuri displacement camp; and Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague. For the first time in history the U.S. Government has declared a genocide while a conflict is ongoing - but the people of Darfur continue to suffer. The struggles of these six individuals iluminate many aspects of this complex catastrophe. Their achievements serve as a call to action for people everywhere to help end the crisis in Darfur.
