Celebrates One Year Birthday: Receives Grants
The California based non-profit Coffee House Teach-Ins (CHTI), with 37 independently organized local special events on peace, from LA to San Francisco, continues with anti-war organizing in the form of summer anti-militarism films thanks to grants from the New York A. J. Muste Memorial Foundation and the Southern California War Tax Resisters.
"We couldn't continue this volunteer effort without the grant and individual support", said founder/director Andrew Liberman, "now that non-combatant president-select George Bush says 'the war is over', and says 'come an get us', putting American soldiers in harms way," said Liberman.
"This government doesn't stand for peace. It never did. So let the people do so," added Liberman.
CHTI will show "Afghan Massacre--the Convoy of Death," a new film from Ireland exposing the failures of Bush's "war on terrorism":
*1) July 18, Fri., 7 pm, at Casa del Pueblo, 7 pm,
1498 Sunset #2, in Echo Park, just east of Echo Park Boulevard. Sonali Kolhatkar, of the Afghan Peace Mission, and a KPFK-FM commentatot, will be a guest speaker, and a new photo exhibit from Iraq will be on display. RSVP: 310.203.1542.
* July 20, Sun., 7 pm, in the San Fernando Valley, at Bub Blurs Hooka Bar, near Cal State Northridge (CSUN), at 18110 Nordhoff, at Lindley. See "Afghan Massacre." Added speakers include CSUN Emeritus Prof. Kit Crittenden, on the "aftermath" of the war.
* Aug. 3, Monday, 7 pm, at the UnUrban Coffee House, in Santa Monica, "Dr. Strangelove--Or How I Learned to Love the Bomb", at 3301 Pico, across from Trader's, as we begin to remember Japan's 9-11, when the U.S. leveled the civilian cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with radioactive weapons of mass destruction.
