Shelby,
 
I believe we have reached consensus among the people putting on the Green Party Movie Night (Merriam, Caroline and myself) that the event will be cancelled for Jan 20, 2012.  We will show Dr. Strangelove next month. Merriam wants to do phone banking for MTA this month at that time instead. Please post a note to that effect in place of the current listing.  Thanks.
 
Sincerely,
 
John Thielking

Documentary: "The Future of Food"

48 S 7th St 
 
THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled grocery store shelves for the past decade. >From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed about the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply. Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, The Future of Food examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world's food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture.

Presentation by Joyce M Eden from the California ballot Initiative campaign to Label GMOs.

Suggested Donation $5-10. No one turned away for lack of funds.

While no longer in the staff of Global Exchange (though still a member of its Board), his new position with the San Francisco Department of the Environment has already provided him with insights about green technology as a basis for our economy and as a counterpoint to the business-as-usual thinking of the corporate world and the military. On January 12 he will share new thoughts about converting work by corporations and the military to a greener process.

Mindful Interactions 1: Presence & Observation in Nonviolent Communication 
 
Sunday January 15, 2012 @ 4PM 
San Jose Peace & Justice Center
48 South 7th Street
 
Mindful Interactions is a 4-part course in Nonviolent Communication

Facilitator: Bob Neiderman, Silicon Valley Nonviolent Communication 
The purpose of Mindful Interactions is to help people resolve differences without resorting to violence or other forms of conflict. I believe that most conflicts are the result of incomplete understanding of one's own needs and the needs of others. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) helps us become clear on these needs as it builds presence and connection.
 
Class 1: Introduction to Nonviolent Communication- how it works to create compassion and understanding in the speaker and the listener. This class will focus on presence and observation, the starting points for NVC

Suggested Donation: $0-5 to help pay $25 center-use fee. No one turned away for lack of funds.

The Wikipedia article on the "Stop Online Piracy Act" received over 1,000,000 views in the month between Nov. 24 and Dec. 24. Work to improve the content of such a page can have a large impact. The Green Party of Santa Clara County and the Education and Research Committee of Occupy San José would like to recruit people with or without experience editing Wikis to meet regularly in working / education sessions to increase the impact of the participants while also improving their skills. Bring a notebook computer if you have one, but come if you are interested even if you don't own a computer. We will change and add to an Occupy Wiki as well as "THE Wikipedia". We will discuss the interests and desires of participants, select things to change, share knowledge about how to make changes and additions and how to do research so your edits will more likely be accepted and read. (Contributing to Wikipedia can help you develop a critical, analytical habit of
 thought and expression, which can help you with other things you want to do.)

ON AIR: Blood on the Tracks

   
Blood on the Tracks recounts the life of S. Brian Willson. His story begins in small-town, rural America, where he grew up as a "Commie-hating, baseball-loving Baptist," moves through life-changing experiences in Viet Nam, Nicaragua and elsewhere, and culminates with his commitment to a localized, sustainable lifestyle. Brian spoke and autographed copies of his book at the Peace & Justice Center. The title refers to the incident at Concord Naval Weapons Center, where a train ran over Willson, severing his legs as he and others were protesting U.S. involvement in Central America.
