Commisioners with multiple violations of the Freedom of
Information Act and the Michigan Open Meetings Act in the wake
of the Rainbow Farm Labor Day killings. Jacob and I will be
there, if only to hear how Teter explains how he came to be in

4/21: Rally, Action Planning, Nonviolence Training
4/22: Colombia Solidarity March & Nonviolent Direct Action
U.S. Military aid under Plan Colombia has been sold to the
U.S. public as part of the war on drugs. In actuality, the
forces under Montoya’s command are engaged in a
counter-insurgency war against leftist guerillas. The aid is
directed to troops
ing offensive action against guerillas
in areas targeted for coca fumigation. Evidence shows that
these offensives often happen in conjunction with paramilitary
attacks. Robert Zoellick, a top foreign policy advisor to
President Bush, was recently quoted as saying, “We cannot
continue to make a false distinction between
counter-insurgency and counter-narcotics.” |

Protest/Attend Meeting that Falsely links Drugs
and Terrorism rather than Prohibition and Terrorism |
10:00 AM
Noon |
The Empowerment Zone Coalition (EZC) will host
a special training on Narco-Terrorism on Wednesday, May 1.
Samaritan Health Center, 5555 Conner (between E. Warren and
Harper). To register or for more information on the workshop,
contact EZC at: 313-921-9403. The registration fee is $5.
If you've got the time this might be an interesting meeting to
attend, observe or protest. Keep in mind that your taxes are
going to support this group which I contend is perpetrating a
gross falsehood (e.g., Drugs and Terrorism). It would be
interesting to know how much money all of these groups receive
for efforts that a growing number of taxpaying citizens no
longer believe or support. |

National Day of Direct Action to Insure access
to Medical Marijuana |
|
National Day of Direct Action June 6th
Push back the DEAs expanding war on Americans!
Keep medical marijuana safe and legal!
Thursday, June 6, 2002 at noon at your local DEA outpost.
Click
here for a list.
What is it?
It is a nation-wide day of action to push back DEA attempts to
re-criminalize medical cannabis! On or after June 6th, 2002
the DEA will attempt to shut down dispensaries now legally
providing medical cannabis to patients in California. To
respond, activists in cities across the nation will use
creative, non-violent tactics to disrupt DEA offices and post
their own "cease and desist" orders at DEA outposts. Through
this action, we will build an "emergency response" network of
committed activists to escalate our resistance to the Federal
Governments expanding war on democracy and patients in need of
safe access to medical marijuana. |

CIA INVOLVEMENT IN CRACK COCAINE TRAFFICKING
EXPOSED IN "AGENTS AND ASSETS" |
Los Angeles Poverty Department Dramatizes a
Congressional Hearing
September 2 2002- The Los Angeles Poverty Department (LAPD)
and Urban Community Visionaries of Detroit, present LAPD's
"Agents and Assets" for four
performances only at The First Unitarian-Universalist Church
on Thursday through Saturday October 17- 19 at 8:00pm and
Sunday October 20, at 4:00 pm.
Author Al McCoy will be present Saturday
evening.
The First Unitarian-Universalist Church of
Detroit is located at
4605 Cass Avenue, corner of Forest. Tickets:
general admission is $5 or pay what you can. No one will be
turned away for lack of funds. For reservations and
information call 313 / 671-3583.
The Los Angeles Poverty Department is a 17 year old, award
winning performance company based in skid row Los Angeles.
"The Los Angeles Poverty Department, despite the homeless
status of many of its members, has thrived for years from it's
downtown outpost and continues to offer theater that's often
stunning in its honesty and lacking in pretension." L.A.
WEEKLY, Pick of the Week.
Agents & Assets, acclaimed in its Los Angeles performances in
January 2001,
is re-mounted in Detroit with a combined cast of Los Angeles
and Detroit
residents, from communities that have been severely impacted
by drugs and
drug policy. Seven members of LAPD will be in residence in
Detroit for one
month rehearsing with local cast members and conducting
community workshops
and outreach activities.
With Agents and Assets LAPD addresses the U.S. government's
escalating war on drugs. The text is a hearing transcript from
the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the
committee charged with the oversight of the government's
intelligence agencies. The occasion of the March 18, 1998
hearing is the CIA Inspector General's report denying
allegations made in a 1996 series of articles in the San Jose
Mercury News, that alleged CIA involvement in crack cocaine
trafficking. The entire Agents & Assets script is taken from
the hearing transcript. Congressmen / women and CIA Inspector
General, are played by on the ground veterans of the crack
epidemic. The lives of the cast members have been radically
impacted by crack, either because formerly addicted or simply
because they live in communities that
have been devastated by drugs and the drug war. "... a theater
piece born
out of detailed transcripts might be somewhat dry -- hardly
the stuff of
high drama. With Malpede at the helm, however, provocative
seems more the
operative word." DOWNTOWN NEWS, Victoria Looseleaf, January
8, 2001
Agents and Assets' director John Malpede says, "The 'War on
drugs', as the name clearly states, imposes a military
solution on a public health and social problem, and in doing
so, turns our own citizens into 'the enemy' and then proceeds
to victimize our citizens and their communities." Agents &
Assets invites its audience to consider the actions of the
U.S. Government, whether it be in a distant third world
country or in downtown Detroit.

Foundation, NEA Theater, and The Animating Democracy

Michigan Marijuana Movement (MMM420)
Changing the Marijuana Laws in your town. |
4:20 PM |
Greetings, On Sat. Jan 18th, 2003 at 4:20 p.m.
there will be a meeting at Cuby Jacks Resturant. Cuby Jacks is
located, 6527 S. Cedar St, Lansing, Mi. Phone- 517-882-1707.
This meeting will bring together several groups that will
discuss and plan for a new Ballot Initiative for 2004. The new
initiative will give us the chance to pass several ballot
proposals through-out the state.
This is a new approch, and we feel that this may be our best
chance for marijuana reform in Michigan.
First, we need you to get a copy of your city or county
Charter and bring it to the meeting. What we are hopeing to do
is to have initiatives across the state, in some areas maybe
Hemp, other areas, Medical, low priority for possesion with
fine, and no record. We feel that by haveing several
initiatives, it will give us a chance for at least some to
pass.
Please bring notebook and pen. This meeting will be a
workshop, no frills or speaches, just work.
Listed below are some things to think about
1. Getting people 18 to 21 registered to vote
2. E-mail, long mail data base
3. Key leaders in the areas where we want to do the
initiatives
4. Advisory board for MMM420
5. Petition teams to help in areas that need it.
6. working together with other groups.
7. Ideas to implement our plan.
8. Getting Green Party, and other political parties involved.
9. Any ideas that will further our abilities to be sucessfull.
This could be the largest meeting of reform groups in Michigan
to address these issues.
We hope you will be able to attend, and please let us know if
you can make it, by sending your name and county you live in.
Cuby Jacks has good food and there are motels close by if you
choose to stay the night. Some of the groups and people who
will be there.
MMM420, Drug Policy Forum of Mi., Cannabis Action Network,
Adam Brook of the Hash Bash, Michigan Norml, Rainbow Farm, and
several other groups and individuals. If you want to change
the Marijuana laws in your town, now is your chance to do it.
Please forward this to people who you think may be interested
in what we are doing, the more support we have the more we can
get done. I look forward to meeting everyone, and hope that
2004 will be a change for the better. |
