July 1st, 2008

This independence day week is jam-packed with opportunities for anti-authoritarian fellowship and activism:

• The Patrick Henry Supper Club meets tonight at Eastern Buffet (7586 W. Broad St.) for it's monthly event. Come for dinner at 6pm or for the main event at 7pm. Not sure who the speaker is, but it's a great chance to reach out to the libertarian community in the central Virginia area. I'll be distributing literature on left libertarianism in general and the alliance in particular.
• On Thursday, the Defenders of Freedom, Justice, and Equality will be presenting a program entitled "Iran: Stopping the next war before it starts". Tying the impeding aggression by this administration with the 20th anniversary of the day a U.S. warship shot down an Iranian civilian aircraft in the Persian Gulf, the program includes a showing of a documentary on the 2003 earthquake in the Iranian city of Bam.
• Finally, on Friday morning, King President George Bush will be speaking at Monticello. It is an outrage to have a war criminal and tyrant speaking at the home of one of the greatest defenders of human liberty and dignity in our history. Come out to protest around 8:30 AM - dress like Republicans, but protest peacefully (that is, decidedly not like Republicans). Bring your signs and banners. Contact the Richmond Peace Education Center for more information and for logistics help.

If you're going to any of these events, let us know!
