Monday May 16th: Monday will focus on establishing the tone for the coming week by giving students the opportunity to sign petitions and voice their opinion with a phone slam to selected representatives. Cookies will provide an incentive to engage students in our presentation.

Tuesday May 17th: Over the course of the evening we will feature a series of three documentaries. We will feature two documentaries and one Hollywood production. The first documentary, Generation E, is a film about the criminalization of the rave culture, ecstasy, and house music. The second documentary, Tulia, exposes the racist nature of conspiracy laws. The third film, Grass examines the history of marijuana prohibition in the US. A great film, narrated by Woody Harrelson, this film captures the insanity of anti-marijuana laws in a truly entertaining format. We will be holding this event at Thimann rm.3 on the UC Santa Cruz campus, from 6-10:30pm. We will be posting the schedule of when each movie will be shown shortly. This event is FREE.
