The city of Santa Cruz held a Town Hall Meeting with Congressman Sam Farr about a possible U.S. attack of Iraq. Robert Norse, an organizer with Homeless United for Friendship & Freedom delievered a potent speech, "Ending Two Wars," addressing war abroad while drawing connections to local injustice. "We need to get to the real issues that this War is stealing from us: Housing, Health Care, Civil Rights for the Poor, Ending Judicial & Police Corruption, Restoring Decent Wages, Stopping Corporate Power & the UC octopus. We need to declare Santa Cruz and this entire 17th Congressional District a sanctuary for those who resist the war. We, the community, can do this. We need to stay out on the streets continuously until these issues are addressed." Listen to Sam Farr's speech, a soundbite collage, and constituent reactions from the Town Hall Meeting.

A new Santa Cruz Programming Collective is an organized group of people that are committed to booking events and laying the groundwork for a whole new era in the Santa Cruz independent music & activism scene. We can promote education, awareness and political action through our events, and shake up widespread apathy and passivity. The collective will make booking successful shows more fun and easier when we work together, and make this activity accessible to anyone - encouraging people to do it themselves! We feel a resource like this is just what Santa Cruz needs. For now, meetings will be Thursdays, 7:00pm at the Wired Wash Cafe.

Africa is a rich continent made poor by rapacious western corporations. G8 leaders must be forced to deliver justice.

A Jim Jarmusch Western in which a poetry-loving American Indian mistakes accountant William Blake (Johnny Depp) for the English writer of the same name, while bounty hunters take him for a murderer. Quirky and dreamy, with the music of Neil Young.

Along with our feature Night of the Iguana, we'll be joined by Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir who will bring their own special entertaining blend of spirituality and activism.
