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.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...

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-

Presenting-REFLECTIONS AND WARNINGS
In a historic final interview, the late filmmaker and music promoter Aaron Russo goes in depth on the insider-knowledge given to him by a member of the Rockefeller family. Russo was told-- prior to 9/11-- of plans to stage terror attacks, invade foreign nations, and kick start a high-tech police state control grid that would track the populations' every move with implantable RFID microchips. Sound nuts? Think again! 147 min.

- San Francisco March and Rally Against the Wars
Saturday, March 20, 2010
11 a.m. Civic Center Plaza
In Washington DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other cities there will be rallies and marches against the wars.
The national actions are initiated by a large number of organizations and prominent individuals. March 20 is the seventh anniversary of the criminal war of aggression launched by Bush and Cheney against Iraq. One million or more Iraqis have died. Tens of thousands of U.S. troops have lost their lives or been maimed, and continue to suffer a whole host of enduring problems from this terrible war.
Organizing meetings will be held in San Francisco. We encourage people to attend the meetings, support and request speakers to address 9/11 Truth, still the founding myth for both wars and the bogus war on terrorism. Northern California 9/11 truth Alliance will endorse the SF Rally, have a booth at the Civic Center and a contingent in the march. We also could use help organizing the contingent, signs, banners for the rally, please attend our meetings in Berkeley to get involved. We also encourage people to put up posters and flyers and do outreach to draw more people to the March 20th rallies/marches. Flyers can be downloaded at- www.answersf.org/#local4
