CELEBRATE A GLOBAL UPRISING & RESISTANCE TO STATE REPRESSION AT THE MOST INSURRECTIONARY FILM FESTIVAL OF THE YEAR!

THURSDAY APRIL 12TH 2012 starting 6PM at Theatre 80 St Marks
80 Saint Marks Place, New York City.
FRIDAY APRIL 13TH 2012 starting 3PM at 56 Walker St. between Church & Broadway.
$10 donation requested. No one turned away for lack of funds.

The NYC Anarchist Film Festival in Honor of Brad Will was started after our dear friend and comrade and media activist and anarchist was murdered in cold blood while filming an uprising in Oaxaca Mexico in 2006. Some are censored brutally and cruelly by the forces of greed and repression that attempt to terrorize those fighting for dignity into submission and silence.

Brad’s footage will be shown in remembrance, but this year’s film festival will focus mainly on the Occupy movement in New York and the U.S as well as the global uprising in Egypt, the Middle East and Europe.

In Our Hearts is looking for a new permanent, or temporary, or occasional space to hold the Grub Community Dinners. Grub has been a  semi-monthly (twice per month) positive community event for more than six years. We have been holding Grub in two spaces for that time. Since Rubulad was shut down in 2010 we have been at 136 Lawrence St. in downtown Brooklyn in the personal space of a collective that runs a bed and breakfast in the same building.

At present we are looking for a location where we can hold Grub at least once per month. Grub is organized by a conscientious group of people who make sure to always leave whatever space we use in as good if not better shape then we found it. Most all of the food we prepare is organic and high in quality, much of it is donated by a local organic market. There are usually leftovers that we can leave with our hosts if they can use them.

Please get in touch if you can help us find a new location!

Thanks!

Come out to Occupational Hazards to hear the amazing story of activist and convicted ‘terrorist’ Andy Stepanian.

Andy and his fellow activists as “succeeding where Karl Marx, the Baader-Meinhof gang and the Red Brigades failed.” Their actions drew the attention of Wall Street and the FBI resulting in a politically charged landmark free speech case called the SHAC 7 trial where Andy and 5 others were charged and convicted as terrorists for their activism. Sentenced to 3 years in federal prison Andy spent his last 6.5 months in a secretive federal prison program that NPR would later name ‘Guantanamo North’. Andy’s activism as part of the SHAC7 is the subject of a feature-length documentary due out in 2012 from Finngate Pictures.

Folks, this guy is FOR REAL and we are very lucky to have him, so make sure you make it out to this historical Hazards.

Join us for Grub: a free and open community dinner held on the first and third Sundays of every month.

There will be plates for vegans and vegetarians alike. About 99% of the food we share is freegan, which means it is excess, ripe, nearly ripe or slightly damaged food that has been recovered from the waste of grocery stores.

Most importantly Grub is about building a stronger and more supportive community, so feel free to come early and hang out. We need help gathering, cooking and preparing food for Grub (culinary skill not necessarily required). Volunteers are welcome to bring vegetarian (freegan and vegan is preferred) food and make their own dishes or help out with the preparation in general. We plan to be able to serve approximately 50 people, so it’s first come first serve.

And as we’re sure you always already do, please go out of your way to talk to strangers and to welcome new people. That’s why we’re here.

Watch First the Dishes Then the Revolution  by Jeff Stark and get an idea about what Grub is.

Please come as early as 3:30pm if you would like to help us prepare the meal!
All are asked to make a contribution.

Grub is at 136 Lawrence St. between Fulton and Willoughby , Brooklyn, NY (map)

Also we are looking for other larger locations where we can host Grub. If you can help us with that please get in touch -inourhearts@gmail.com.
Thanks!

The next monthly New York City Anarchist Open Forum is Tonight (Tuesday 2/21,)
from 7 to 9 PM at the 6th St. Community Center, 638 East 6th St.
Manhattan.

The New York City Anarchist Open Forum is organized to facilitate
in-person discussion forums for topics of interest to the NYC anarchist
community. Gathering monthly, in spaces conductive to discussion,
we plan to give members of the community a space to hold discussions
on topics of mutual interest, announce or promote projects they are
organizing and, generally, to socialize with other anarchists.

The Format

The forum is open. The discussion agenda will be determined by
community members. Those who wish to sponsor a topic may identify
themselves to the group during introductions and will be allotted a
brief post-introduction time slot to introduce their proposed topic or
project. After all proposals have been made the meeting will
reorganize into breakout groups around the several topics proposed,
attendees joining that breakout which interests them most.  Breakouts
are imagined to meet for 45 minuets to an hour.

Refreshments will be served after the breakout meetings giving all
participants an opportunity to socialize and share ideas discussed.
There will be no time scheduled for report backs, it is our intension
that summaries of the several breakout’s discussions can be posted to
a web page for all to read afterwards.

Time and Place

The next meeting of the open forum will be Tuesday February 21st from
7 PM to 9 PM at the 6th Street Community Center, 638 East 6th St.
Manhattan.
