Every June, in cities around the world, people ride bikes naked to celebrate cycling and the human body. The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against oil dependency.

Be there, as bare as you dare!

2010 will see the fifth annual Brighton ride, following its massive success in 2009 when 700 people rode through the heart of the city.

Planning meetings to discuss the ride's organisation and promotion will be held monthly prior to the event, between January and May.

The parade, an annual non-profit educational and cultural event is always held on the Saturday before the anniversary of Marcus Garvey's August 17th birthday. Marcus Garvey used culture as a tool to empower people and encouraged the growth of Black institutions.

So come to the historic Black neighborhood of Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn on Saturday, August 14th 2010 and celebrate this legendary freedom fighter's birthday by participating in and watching the 11th Annual Universal Hip-Hop Parade.

Your presence and participation is what makes the celebration fun, exciting and successful!

Back in September only the first few parts of the film had been released. Rather than wait, we chose to show what we had in order to bring the issue of the Afghanistan war to San Mateo Peace Action's front burner. Peace Action West Political Director Rebecca Griffin's October talk complemented the film's message with more details and suggestions for channeling our activism. On November 22 we will "finish watching" the film and have another open comment period - to hear from each other and further explore what we can do both individually and collectively.

Part 5 of the film is called "Women of Afghanistan," and raises questions about whether this war can, as advertised by many of its boosters, liberate or help Afghani women. Part 6, simply called "Security," features ex-CIA agents making the case that there is no victory to be won Afghanistan. We have thus far avoided showing a segment called "Civilian Casualties" because of its graphic images. All of the segments (and various fact sheets) can be found by logging on to www.rethink Afghanistan.com.

And on Sunday November 22, Beck Hall at UUSM will be the place to go to find community and share ideas coming out of the last three months of information we have tried to facilitate about the Afghanistan war. Please also bring a dish to share; beverages will be on hand for a donation, and coffee and tea will be as always complimentary. The UUSM is wheelchair accessible.
