The Punk Rock Politics of Joe Strummer"
New York City, Dec. 9, 2004

Suggested donation: $6/$10/$15
"Were it not for the Clash, punk would have been just a sneer, a safety pin, and a pair of bondage trousers," writes Billy Bragg, and documentarian/activist DAmbrosio proves it with this gathering of skillfully selected articles and essays on Clash front man Joe Strummer (1952-2002), from the likes of Lester Bangs, Chuck D, Greil Marcus and DAmbrosio himself." — Publisher's Weekly, 11/8/04
"Joe was speaking about things he saw in his life — the things right in front of his face that no one wanted to talk about — and taking his message around the world...Public Enemy is an American group but we address the same issues — political, social, musical — on an international level. I learned the importance of that from Joe Strummer." — From the Preface by Chuck D
A quintessential rude boy, punker, rebel musician, artist and activist. Joe Strummer wrote some of the most important music of the last century. His most influential songs include "Guns of Brixton," "The Washington Bullets," "Spanish Bombs," "London's Burning," and "Garageland." Effectively melding raw creativity with radical politics, Strummer transformed punk rock from its early associations with reactionary and nihilistic politics into a social movement.

New York City Meeting to Discuss the Presidential Inauguration
7 PM, Thursday, December 2nd
Judson Memorial Church, 55 Washington Square South
Bush may have been elected, but we didn't elect him and we won't obey him!
We cannot wait another four years to stand against the war and rampant
social injustice of another Bush Administration. On January 20, thousands
of activists will descend on Washington, DC to protest the second
inauguration of George Walker Bush.
Join a citywide discussion on protests around the upcoming presidential
inauguration in the garden room at Judson Memorial Church. This meeting
will provide a place for different organizations, collectives, affinity
groups, and other groups organizing to protest the inauguration to share
resources and ideas. We will also discuss transportation to Washington DC
and housing there, what DC-based groups already have planned for the
inauguration, and what NYC-based actions can be organized for J20. For
more information, e-mail nyc-counter-inaugural@lists.riseup.net.
The meeting will be held in Judson Memorial Church's garden room which can
be entered through the side entrance, on the west side of Thompson St.
between Washington Sq. South (W. 4th St.) and W. 3d St. (Subways: A,B,C,D,E,F lines
to WEST FOURTH ST.; R to EIGHTH ST.; 6 to BLEECKER ST.; 1/9 to
CHRISTOPHER/SHERIDAN; L to SIXTH AVE.)

Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation
A Book Reading and Discussion with Silvia Federici
Tuesday November 30th, 7pm
At the Fusion Arts Museum
"Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation" (Autonomedia, 2004) reconstructs the background of the great witch-hunt in Europe and the Americas, arguing that this unprecedented attack on women was a key aspect of the rise of capitalism and the formation of the proletariat. Federici will discuss the implications of her research for our understanding of the requirements of capitalist accumulation, the connections between "sex," "race" and "class," and the struggle against globalization.
Silvia Federici, a long time feminist activist and teacher, is co-founder of the Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa and the RPA (Radical Philosophy Association) Anti-Death Penalty Project. She teaches International Studies and Political Philosophy at Hofstra University. Federici’s published work includes: “Enduring Western Civilization: The Construction of the Concept of Western Civilization and its ‘Others’” (editor) and “A Thousand Flowers: Social Struggles Against Structural Adjustment in African Universities" (co-editor).
Fusion Arts: 57 Stanton Street, NYC. Just South of Houston, between Eldridge and Forsythe Streets. F or V train to 2nd Avenue. Map
