Community Currency Events/Conferences

Here are the upcoming events/conferences on community currencies, transforming the global economy, and related themes (currently 9-11 is my main focus). It is not enough to simply protest, and I want to list gatherings where people are working on positive alternatives, as well. If you know of an event that is missing from this list, please send it to me cbrouillet@igc.org and I'll add it on.

• Calendar of Protests All the time, Throughout the World
  I cannot keep track of all the protests against globilization, the W.T.O., the M.A.I., the F.T.A.A., I.M.F., World Bank, military interventions,... but these links are the most comprehensive that I know of-

• Listening for a Change- On the Eleventh of Every Month 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., Lytton Plaza, Palo Alto (University x Emerson)
  Since October 2001, every Wednesday, except when it is raining; I have set up tables, banners, chairs, food, educational material, and created a space for public dialogue on key issues. Beginning in November 2007, I am doing this on a monthly basis, on the 11th of every month. We ask the public three questions and write down their responses-

  What do you think/feel about the events of September 11th and the U.S. government's response?

  How could we defuse terrorism?"

  How could we create a safer/better world for our children and all children?

  Sponsored by Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and Northern California 9-11 Truth Alliance All welcome. For more information call Carol Brouillet 650-857-0927.

• 9/11 TRUTH ACTION- Sacramento
  
  Saturday, October 11, 2008
  4:30 - 6:00PM
  11th and "L" Streets, Sacramento
  (public sidewalk just north of the state capitol)

  See: TruthAction.org

  On Saturday, October 11th, 9/11 Truth Action in Sacramento will hold a Vigil in solidarity with many other cities who participate in 9/11 Truth Actions on the eleventh of every month.

  This Vigil, by calling attention to the many facts of "9/11" deliberately omitted from the U.S. media*, encourages others to also question the "official version" of what happened. The more people become informed, the greater the possibility of a real investigation, and the lesser the possibility of another similar "false flag" attack.

  *such as the implosion of WTC Building 7. See wtc7.net/articles/kimball/thirdskyscraper.html

  Some signs, deception dollars, fliers, etc., will be available, and bring your own.

  7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
  Directions-
  From Hwy. 580 East (coming from the Bay Bridge or Berkeley), take the Grand Ave./Lakeshore exit (start getting over to the on your way past the Broadway-Webster exit - it's tricky - and move right again when approaching the next exit, Harrison/Oakland, but don't get in that exit lane). The exit ramp merges into MacArthur which intersects with Grand at the light. Make a left at the light onto Grand, make a right onto Lake Park Ave. (the Grand Lake Theater will be on the corner on your far right before you turn). Go about a block, past the BofA, which will be on your left, and the GLNC will also be on your left. Park on the street or turn right into free public parking under the freeway.

  From Hwy. 580 West (coming from Hayward), take the Lakeshore Ave. exit. When you exit at Lakshore Ave., you will be on Lake Park. Go straight at the light (you'll see a Busy Body Home Fitness store in front of you to the right), crossing Lakeshore Ave. The GLNC will be a few storefronts down on your right. Park on the street or turn left into free public parking under the freeway across from GLNC. If you cross Grand Ave. (and the theater) you've gone too far.

  Buses (check schedules):
  The 57 Macarthur, to Kaiser hospital, 40th and the Emeryville shopping district.

I have been so busy organizing locally that I have not had time to update this. I even turned down a trip to speak at a big Eco-Money Conference in Japan August 2002, because I think it is such a critical time here in the U.S. to raise consciousness and expose the War on Terrorism for what it really is- A War on Democracy, Freedom, and Dissent worldwide! When I have time, I'll try to add the good, inspiring conferences and events that are coming up...
