Revolution Teams All Out for October 5
September 10, 2006
Please check this blog and the WCW web site daily for any changes in plans. There are many places and events that can/must be saturated with the Drive Out the Bush Regime Oct 5 fliers. The WCW website lists distribution points where fliers can be picked up. We need to tap in to the response from the September 7 meeting in NYC that over 250 people attended. Also, there was really positive response to the black Wanted T-shirts at the Caribbean Day Parade. We want to pushed forward on: paper distribution, t-shirt sales, WCW materials.

8:00 PM - Homage to Lenny Bruce and Free Speech with Lewis Black. A tribute to comedian Lenny Bruce and free speech, hosted by Lewis Black with Judy Gold, Jeff Garlin, Todd Barry, Eugene Mirman, Jonathan Ames and more. 92nd Street Y., 1395 Lexington Avenue.
September 13-15 COMMUNITY DIALOGUE ON MIGRATION, HUMAN RIGHTS & DEVELOPMENT - -- Center for Labor, Community and Policy Studies, CUNY, 25 W. 43rd Street (between 5th & 6th Ave.)
Migrant Rights International (MRI), Migrant Forum Asia (MFA) and the National
Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (NNIRR), invite broad civil society
and governmental participation in the "Community Dialogue on Migration, Human
Rights & Development," a parallel forum to the United Nations High Level Dialogue (HLD) on Migration and Development. What are the HLD and the Community Dialogue About? The UN's High-Level Dialogue (HLD) on Migration & Development on 14-15. September 2006 is intended to examine "the multi-dimensional aspects of International migration and development" in order to "maximize its development benefits and minimize its negative impacts." As a response, MRI, MFA and NNIRR alongside our respective members and partners in New York and from around the world are organizing a parallel forum - a "Community Dialogue on Migration, Human Rights and Development" - to provide an alternate space to share perspectives on the current situation, challenges and proposed solutions around migration and of migrants' rights from communities around the world.
Friday, September 15Mental Missiles, directed by Liz Swados, is a dark, satirical revue filled with irreverence and disrespect with songs, monologues and scenes that are meant to go for the jugular of all parties, politicians, capitalist icons and media maniacs. This Revue is a way for us to speak about what's going on in this world without being cutesy or catering to a crowd. No one is spared. And the music is as strong as the words with many styles, from cabaret to the most contemporary rap and rock. Twelve performers will step up onstage with attitudes that are meant to tease, provoke and make you laugh. And since not all the news is hilarious, a good dose of dark irony will be injected into the night. The rehearsed show will be supplemented by nightly guest artists invited to do their art, song, rap, rant or dance on a chosen issue. And each night will have a new piece written that day confronting the most immediate news and gossip.
Isn't it about time we tried something a little edgy? On the verge of dangerous? We aim to create an evening that will break through the dumb silence which is suffocating this culture! And we hope we'll be as entertaining and funny as can be – without self-seriousness or pedantics.

There’s a message on the WCW Web site entitled: The Fierce Urgency of Now, by Dr. Robin Meyers, 9/6/06; the minister of Mayflower UCC Church, Oklahoma City, Professor of Rhetoric in the Philosophy Department at Oklahoma City University, and author of WHY THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT IS WRONG: A Minister's Manifesto for Taking Back Your Faith, Your Flag, Your Future. http://www.worldcantwait.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2838&Itemid=220 Check it out.
Such a great line: The Fierce Urgency of Now.
This urgency propelled: “The outpouring of thousands of people in Salt Lake City, Utah—of all places—to protest Bush, and the sentiments expressed even by the mayor of Salt Lake City, tell you something about the pent-up anger and outrage at the direction this country is moving in—very quickly. That outrage is right, and necessary. But it has to be directed at HALTING the whole package, not misdirected into lining up with the Democrats!”
“Lies from the Bush Regime, Dangers and Challenges for the People”
Revolution #60, September 10, 2006
This urgency propelled WCW meetings in something like 50 cities (known meetings) on September 7th.
