JUST A REMINDER....

This coming Tuesday, November 9 @ 8:00 PM.

"TILLIE OLSEN PRESENTS" @ INTERSECTION FOR THE ARTS

A two-part reading series at Intersection for the Arts showcasing both
under-recognized and up-and-coming writers selected by legendary and
revolutionary writer Tillie Olsen.  The second reading in this series will
be on Tuesday November 9 at 8:00 PM with Tillie Olsen, memoirist and
community activist Odette Meyers and poet and activist Nellie Wong.

Revolutionary author Tillie Olsen, who was arrested for her involvement with
the San Francisco Maritime Strike and accused by Joseph McCarthy of being an
"agent of Stalin" trying to corrupt the public schools, has done a
lifetime's worth of educating on humanitarian issues, particularly the
overlap of labor and feminist interests.  She is the highly praised author
of "Tell Me A Riddle," "Silence" and "Yonnondio: From the Thirties."  Her
work has appeared in over 100 anthologies (including "Best American Short
Stories," "The Norton Introduction to Literature," and "The Modern
Tradition"); she's won numerous honorary degrees, NEA fellowships, the O.
Henry Award for best short story, and a Guggenheim Fellowship, and she's
still shaking things up.

Tonight, see Tillie Olsen read and introduce two of her
literary/revolutionary descendants as part of Intersection's "Tillie Olsen
Presents" reading series: Odette Meyers, author of "Doors to Madame Marie,"
and autobiographical memoir of a Jewish girl's coming of age in
Nazi-occupied France and her relationship with the Catholic godmother who
sheltered her; and Nellie Wong, author of 3 collections of poetry and an
active member of Radical Women and the Freedom Socialist Party.  $5
suggested donation.

ACTION ALERT!

from the Campaign for Justice - Redress Now for Japanese Latin Americans
and the Day of Remembrance Consortium

Show your support!  Your presence is needed!

NCRR & Suzuki v. US
GOV'T MALFEASANCE COURT HEARING
Fri. Nov. 12, 1999   9:30 am
Courtroom #10 (Judge Legge), 19th Floor
US District Court - 450 Golden Gate Ave (at Polk) SF

Will the judge dismiss this lawsuit?
Show your support for the recovery of an estimated $200 million of missing
compensation and educational funds.
Don't let the US government get away with malfeasance for failing to invest
redress funds as required by statute!

Contact: 510-528-7288 for more info

- brief background follows-

   ** Government Malfeasance in Failure to Invest Redress Funds **

     During World War II, the US government perpetrated one of the most
serious violations of civil liberties in its history.  Due to the effort of a
broad movement, Congress acknowledged this wrongdoing by passing the Civil
Liberties Act of 1988, which granted redress to persons of Japanese ancestry
incarcerated in concentration camps by the US government during WWII.

     At the completion of the 10-year redress program, apology letters and
token compensation payments had been given to over 82,000 Japanese Americans
(JA) and Japanese Latin Americans (JLA) and $5 million was spent for
educational programs.  Due to insufficient redress funds, hundreds of JAs and
JLAs did not receive their compensation payments and educational expenditures
were only one-tenth of the slated $50 million.

     In 1998, a class action lawsuit (NCRR & Suzuki v. USA) was filed,
charging the US government with failure to enforce a provision of the Act
which specified that the $1.65 billion redress fund be invested in order to
earn interest.  This government malfeasance resulted in a loss of an
estimated $200 million to the redress fund.  The lawsuit seeks recovery of
the missing interest for educational programming and compensation payments.

For further information, call 510.528.7288. ###

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to recommend a goofy Japanese comedy film that is opening.
I saw in in the film festival and really enjoyed it. It's silly and
entertaining.

Welcome Back, Mr. McDonald is Koki Mitani's uproarious new screwball
comedy set in the frenetic world of Japanese broadcasting.  The advance
screening is to benefit the San Francisco Japantown Peace Plaza
Renovation Project, on Wednesday, Nov. 10th at 7:30 at the AMC Kabuki 8
Theatres at 1881 Post St., San Francisco.

The film opens Friday, Nov. 12 in San Francisco at AMC Kabuki 8 and in
San Jose at the AMC Saratoga 14.

THE NOVEMBER KSW-NEXT MEETING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**********************************************

WHEN: Tuesday, November 16th, 7 PM

WHERE: Southern Exposure Gallery, 401 Alabama St. (btw.18th and 19th
Streets
in the Project Artaud complex) (directions below)

WHY: KSW-Next, APA Artists aged 18-35, meets monthly to talk turkey and
share
work. (We are also, in the process, forming networks, fostering
collaborations and plotting the downfall of unmitigatedly Western
civilization) The essential concept is that we focus on a different
genre or
discipline each time, and that at each meeting one artist shares
his/her work
with the group and starts a discussion (not this month!).

WHAT: In November, after the excitement of APAture, KSW-Next's first
large
event, we are expecting new members. So this month's meeting is a
FREE-FOR-ALL cum getting-to-know-you cum organizational meeting.

HOW: PLEASE BRING SOMETHING TO SHARE. AS IN: ART. Bring a poem or a
rant, a
monologue or a soft-shoe, a sketchbook or a song, your guitar, your
triangle,
your chainsaw, your portable 8mm projector, a six-pack of coke for your
burping chorus...ANYTHING.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVE YOU'RE AN ARTIST, YOU JUST HAVE TO PROVE YOU'RE
NOT A CLEANING SOLVENT.

******************************************************

DIRECTIONS: from the East Bay: take the Mission/Duboce Exit and go down
Mission to 17th St[about 3 blocks]. Make a left on 17th and follow the
curves[about 4 blocks]. Right on Alabama.  I'm sure there's a better
way, I just don't know it.
BART: 16th St./Mission station, walk one block over to 17th, about four
blocks to Alabama.
MUNI: 22 Bus to 16th and Bryant - one block to 17th, half a block to
Alabama;
27 Bryant Bus to 17th, half a block to Alabama; 14 Mission Bus to 17th,
about
four blocks to Alabama.

Questions? Call Claire at 415.543.0520 or email at nhksw@... or

Your help is needed if you live in the Bay Area!

The court hearing is this Friday morning at the Federal Court in San
Francisco. The government didn't put money for redress in savings, so
the interest that was supposed to pay for educational programs and
future redress settlements is not there.

Please pass this on to everyone you know who supports redress for
Japanese Americans, and Japanese Latin Americans... and anyone else
who wants justice for all.

NOT TO BE MISSED!  THIS WEEK AT ODC THEATER

Deborah Slater Dance Theater’s
FORGIVENESS & OTHER TRUE FICTION

November 11-13, 18-20 @ 8pm

ODC Theater @ 3153 17th Street @ Shotwell, San Francisco
Tickets $15 ($12 students & seniors)  415.863.9834
www.ticketweb.com

"With the grounding and dramatic focus she displays in both movement and
acting, Slater is well-suited to the complex demands of her pieces. . .
Slater can take full throttle acrobatics where they’ve never gone
before, into expression of the deepest subconscious." Dennis Harvey, SF
Weekly

  ODC Theater and Art of the Matter will co-produce Deborah Slater Dance
Theater’s Forgiveness and Other True Fiction  on November 11-13  and
November 18-20, 1999 @ 8pm, to celebrate Art of the Matter’s 10th
Anniversary Season. Reputably one of the Bay Area’s most theatrical,
imaginative and provocative choreographers, Deborah Slater has probed
both subtle and bold cultural perceptions to create a dance/theater
piece for her 10-member company.

Working with a double stage format, Forgiveness  is a testament to
Slater’s ability to work with artists who can take her original vision
and further define it.  For this production Slater will continue her
collaborations with David Allen, Jr. and Jack Carpenter.   Featuring a
commissioned score by Allen, and site specific staging and lighting by
Carpenter, Forgiveness  will transform the ODC Theater space with
translucent fabrics, reconfigured audiences and unusual visual images to
enable the audience to intimately experience the effects time and
culture have on one’s perception of the self and on one’s relationship
with community.

"TILLIE OLSEN PRESENTS" @ INTERSECTION FOR THE ARTS


A two-part reading series at Intersection for the Arts showcasing both
under-recognized and up-and-coming writers selected by legendary and
revolutionary writer Tillie Olsen.  The second reading in this series will
be on Tuesday November 9 at 8:00 PM with Tillie Olsen, memoirist and
community activist Odette Meyers and poet and activist Nellie Wong.

Revolutionary author Tillie Olsen, who was arrested for her involvement with
the San Francisco Maritime Strike and accused by Joseph McCarthy of being an
"agent of Stalin" trying to corrupt the public schools, has done a
lifetime's worth of educating on humanitarian issues, particularly the
overlap of labor and feminist interests.  She is the highly praised author
of "Tell Me A Riddle," "Silences" and "Yonnondio: From the Thirties."  Her
work has appeared in over 100 anthologies (including "Best American Short
Stories," "The Norton Introduction to Literature," and "The Modern
Tradition"); she's won numerous honorary degrees, NEA fellowships, the O.
Henry Award for best short story, and a Guggenheim Fellowship, and she's
still shaking things up.  Tonight, see Tillie Olsen introduce two of her
literary/revolutionary descendants as part of the "Tillie Olsen Presents"
reading series: Odette Meyers, author of "Doors to Madame Marie," an
autobiographical memoir of a Jewish girl's coming of age in Nazi-occupied
France and her relationship with the Catholic godmother who sheltered her;
and Nellie Wong, author of three collections of poetry and an active member
of Radical Women and the Freedom Socialist Party.  $5 suggested donation.

COMMUNITY ARTS: HOW TO TEACH IT

One of the resounding questions in the field of community-based arts is:=20
How do you teach this stuff? Alternate ROOTS, a southeastern-regional=20
organization of community-based artists, has been thinking about it.=20
ROOTS provides training in community arts through its CAPP (Community=20
Arts Partnership Project) Resources for Social Change, and the=20
training-faculty members have produced a list of topics they feel should=20
go into any curriculum for learning how to do this work. The list of=20
topics is posted in the CAN Reading Room.

CODE 33: EMERGENCY, CLEAR THE AIR

Dozens of black cars and white cars with headlights blazing converged on=20
the rooftop of Oakland=92 California=B9s City Center West Garage October 7,=20
1999, for "CODE 33: EMERGENCY, CLEAR THE AIR," a public-art event by=20
Suzanne Lacy and T.E.A.M., featuring 150 Oakland young people, 100 police=20
officers, 57 neighborhood crime-prevention councils, Mayor Jerry Brown,=20
Police Chief Richard Word, members of the Oakland City Council, parents=20
and neighbors. The art event was part of a series promoting youth-police=20
dialogue. For an eyewitness report on the event and its process by art=20
historian Moira Roth, watch the College Art Association=B9s online Art=20
Journal. (This will be part 6 of Roth=B9s ongoing essay, "Traveling=20
Companions/Fractured  Worlds," being published in Art Journal as each=20
part is finished.)

STRIKING TORONTO MUSICIANS OFFER HOME CONCERTS

In a letter to Toronto Symphony Orchestra board members, the orchestra's=20
musicians have offered to play in board members' homes and at the same=20
time spend a few minutes pleading their case, according to CBC=20
InfoCulture. "All we ask is a few minutes to talk to them and tell them=20
how important it is they meet our demands," said violinist Gary Labovitz,=20
the head of the musicians' bargaining committee. Labovitz also noted that=20
it's an effort to show the board the musicians are doing everything they=20
can to help end the strike to recover lost wages. (Thanks to Arts Wire=20

MILLENNIUM TRAILS TO GET COMMUNITY ARTS PROJECTS

Arts on Millennium Trails is a new initiative by the National Endowment=20
for the Arts (NEA) that will support high quality, community-centered=20
public art projects along 50 Millennium Legacy Trails in 47 states,=20
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia. The trails=20
are part of the Millennium Trails initiative of the White House=20
Millennium Council. They include historic trails, cultural routes, scenic=20
byways, long-distance hiking trails, neighborhood paths, rail trails and=20
urban bikeways. The NEA will work with a network of national cultural=20
organizations, arts agencies, folk and traditional artist professionals=20
and community-development specialists to help communities create public=20
art works, exhibitions, interpretive works and preservation projects.

CLEANING UP THE WATER IN APPALACHIA

Artists are being encouraged to work with community watershed groups and=20
engineers in a new program to clean the water flowing in Appalachian=20
streams. The Arts and Appalachian Clean Streams Program was created by=20
the Interior Department=B9s Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and=20
Enforcement and the National Endowment for the Arts. It will fund=20
projects to create effective and imaginative acid mine drainage and=20
remediation projects. The goal is to help build stronger communities and=20
better public spaces in the coal lands of Appalachia.

CHICAGO COFFERS BEEFED UP BY ART COWS PROJECT

A citywide exhibit of 332 fiberglass-and-polyester "art cows" scattered=20
around Chicago has pumped an estimated $200 million into the city's=20
economy since June, according to city officials, who say the=20
city-sponsored outdoor art exhibit of bovine sculpture has garnered more=20
media attention for Chicago than the 1996 Democratic National Convention.=20
The life-size cows are fashioned in the style of famous artists, or=20
outfitted with outrageous accessories: the Construction Cow has a crane=20
coming out of its back and toy construction equipment strewn around it.=20
The cattle, sponsored by local businesses and art patrons, came down=20
October 31, 1999, and many will be auctioned by Sotheby's and over the=20
Internet, with proceeds going to charity.

1999 COMING UP TALLER AWARDS ANNOUNCED

Ten outstanding arts and humanities programs for children received the=20
1999 Coming Up Taller Awards in October, presented by the National=20
Endowment for the Arts and the President's Committee on the Arts and the=20
Humanities. Each winner receives an award of $10,000 from the program,=20
which honors projects for children that provide them with safe and=20
educational environments during after-school hours. Among the activities=20
honored were programs that offer a youth theater-ensemble experience,=20
facilitate a teen parent reading discussion group, and help young people=20
transform their neighborhood into a better one of their own making.

<http://arts.endow.gov/endownews/news99/TallerPR.html>


PUBLIC LANDS THEATER PROJECT UNDERWAY IN WEST

One-third of the U.S. is federally owned public land. When people live in=20
communities that depend on public lands, what say should they have in=20
their ownership and use? That=B9s the question being addressed in the=20
Public Lands Theater Project, a collaboration of the State Rural=20
Development Councils in five western states. Using theater as a device to=20
illuminate ideas and emotions, an unusual coalition of rural-development=20
councils, environmental groups, government agencies and agriculture,=20
timber and mining groups proposes to develop a play and facilitated=20
discussion to broaden public understanding of these difficult, divisive=20
issues. Dramatic readings are scheduled for December 1999 in Idaho, and=20
January 2000 in Colorado and Utah.

<http://www.ruralcolorado.org/activities.htm>


ADD THE HUMANITIES

Double your audience, double your community partners, double your fun by=20
adding the humanities to your next community arts project. It=B9s a way to=20
engage libraries, history buffs and book lovers in the arts. For=20
inspiration, visit the California Humanities Network, a brilliantly=20
designed Web site offering access to scholars, writers, anthropologists,=20
historians, teachers and ethnologists willing to work on cultural=20
projects. A directory of model projects shows how lectures, discussions,=20
films, exhibits and radio programs have been used in a variety of=20
formats. A resources section leads to creative ideas for incorporating=20
humanities funding.

<http://www.thinkcalifornia.net>

AND...  The California Council on the Humanities is celebrating the 150th=20
anniversary of the Gold Rush with "History Alive," a roster of =20
"Chautauqua" presentations statewide. These living-history performances=20
feature dramatic, historically accurate portrayals of 13 figures of Gold=20
Rush-era California, such as civil-rights activist Mary Ellen Pleasant,=20
Mexican Governor Pio Pico and Chinese herbal doctor Yee Fung Cheung. A=20
scholar/performer portrays the historical character in an unscripted=20
monologue about his or her life, followed by an audience q&a with the=20
character, then a q&a out of character, lending a contemporary=20
perspective on the character's life and times. There is also a vibrant=20
contemporary Chautauqua movement across the Midwest.

PHILADELPHIA=B9S AVENUE OF THE ARTS INVIGORATES FINANCIAL DISTRICT

In an image makeover worthy of a Hollywood starlet, Philadelphia=B9s South=20
Broad Street has been recast from stodgy financial district to lively=20
culture zone, and dubbed the Avenue of the Arts. The ploy worked, says=20
the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the city is witnessing a revival on a=20
scale that has surprised even those who advocate using culture to=20
generate urban investment. The city will soon find itself with a new=20
luxury hotel, apartment house, university building and refurbished office=20
tower, with ground floors reincarnated as restaurants and stores. Nearby,=20
two new theaters are drawing nighttime crowds, and even the orchestra has=20
finally stopped talking about a new hall and started to build one.=20

<http://www.phillynews.com/inquirer/99/Oct/07/magazine/AVE07.htm>


KEY GRASSROOTS THEATER TEXT REISSUED

"Grassroots Theater: A Search for Regional Arts in America," the seminal=20
1954 book by Robert Gard (1910-1992), has been reissued by the University=20
of Wisconsin Press. An inspiring spiritual autobiography, "Grassroots=20
Theater" recounts Gard's travels across North America, from New York to=20
Canada to Wisconsin, discovering and nurturing the folklore, legends,=20
history and drama of each region. Gard, founder of the Wisconsin Idea=20
Theater in the 1940s, recounts an era of theater history particularly=20
important to today=B9s community-arts movements, when artists worldwide are=20
working to energize a theater of place. The new edition includes an=20
introduction by Gard=B9s daughter, Maryo Gard Ewell, herself an influential=20
community-arts advocate in Colorado.

AN ARTIST IN THE HALLS OF MEDICINE

Following an encounter with surgery, artist Pam Hall audited the first=20
year of medical school at Memorial University in Newfoundland. "One thing=20
led to another," says Hall, "and in January, 1997, I began my tenure as=20
the first artist-in-residence in the Faculty of Medicine," cosponsored by=20
the Art Gallery of Newfoundland. Her goals included introducing an=20
alternative set of perceptions to the education of physicians, and=20
extending the gallery=B9s audience outside its walls. For two years she=20
taught in the Ethics and Humanities course, developed new curriculum,=20
made new work and presented it to the faculty, students and general=20
public. It=B9s all documented on a revealing Web site.

<http://www.med.mun.ca/artistinresidence>


REPORT FINDS ARTS EDUCATION KEY LEARNING COMPONENT=20

A new report on arts education, "Champions of Change: The Impact of the=20
Arts on Learning," offers clear evidence of how the arts can improve=20
academic performance, energize teachers and transform learning=20
environments, according to the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur=20
Foundation, which developed the report with the support of the GE Fund,=20
the Arts Education Partnership and the President's Committee on the Arts=20
and Humanities. Students with high levels of arts participation=20
outperform "arts-poor" students on virtually every measure and the arts=20
have a measurable impact on students in "high-poverty and urban settings,=20
the report found. (Thanks to Arts Wire Current November 2, 1999, for this=20
story.)

ARTS CONVOCATION ENVISIONS THE NEXT 25 YEARS=20

Nearly 100 delegates met October 28-30, 1999, in Winston-Salem, N.C., to=20
discuss, draft and approve a preliminary national visioning statement for=20
the future of the arts and culture in communities toward the year 2025.=20
The convocation, "Remembering the Past, Envisioning the Future," was=20
called by Americans for the Arts to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the=20
local-arts-agency movement. The visioning statement and call for response=20
is posted on the Americans for the Arts Web site.

EL TEATRO CAMPESINO GOES MULTIMEDIA

Teatro Campesino has produced a CD-ROM that examines the contribution of=20
the company from a variety of viewpoints. The CD looks at the theater=B9s=20

Subject: further info on the hunger site
Date: Sun, Nov 7, 1999, 11:00 AM


Here is some further info on the Hunger Site that came back from one of
my friends:

Here's what a friend of mine has to say about the "legit" hungersite:

Hey!!

Well, sorry to write for this reason, but I have to let you know
something
about this website, the "hungersite"...

It is politically loaded, in a very bad way.  When I first got the
letter it
was sent out from someone at York, last May, I think.  Anyway, I sent it
out
and this woman I know who actually worked with NGOs such as Oxfam wrote
back
this villifying letter about those "corporate sponsors" who would "give"

food on your behalf.  When I looked at the sponsors more closely, I was
ashamed and embarassed as a homeopath to see the names of pharmaceutical

companies and companies involved in gene patents--working with Monsanto
and
such.  You know, "frankenfood"?  Genetically engineered foodstuffs?
And,
worse, enforced vaccinations and other imposed pharmaceuticals made from

plants and herbs that they will now restrict people from harvesting for
their own use.  A bad scene, all around.  Not to mention how much more
difficult it will be to actually deal with the health problems all those

vaccinations will create--for generations
to come.

On a scarier note, all those pharmaceutical companies will be able to
trace
your activities as a "consumer"--because each time you visit their
website
you leave a cookie for them to trace you with.  Worse if you are using
Pentium 3 processors, which apparently are even more traceable and
permeable.  At the very least, you'll be a name on a mailing list, a
target
for some barbaric marketing campaign--I certainly hope for that minor
nuisance, as opposed to something much, much, slimier.

So, please, write back to your friends and ask them NOT to hit the
website.
Or, just write to them and inform them so that they can make decisions
with
a little more knowledge about who is actually involved.

Special Cultural Presentation in Commemoration of World AIDS Day 1999


Avatars: Gods for a New Millennium

World premiere production by performance poet Minal Hajratwala

Sunday, November 28, 1999, 2 p.m.

Asian Art Museum, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco



   In commemoration of World AIDS Day, 1999, and in conjunction

with the exhibition The Arts of the Sikh Kingdoms, the Asian Art Museum is

proud to present AVATARS: Gods for a New Millennium, a special world

premiere production by performance poet Minal Hajratwala (MEE-null

HUJ-rut-wah-la), on Sunday, November 28 at 2 p.m.  The performance is free

with museum admission.


   In this unique hourlong theatrical performance, the artist

and four other actors explore Eastern mythology, Western sexuality, and the

politics of both.   Director Miriam Kronberg is an award-winning performer,

writer, director, and co-founder of San Francisco's Luna Sea Women's

Performance Project.  Stage and set design is created by Berkeley-based

sculptor and installation artist Donna Keiko Ozawa.


   Ms. Hajratwala's Avatars: Gods for a New Millennium is the

story of one young woman's journey of religious exploration at the end of

the twentieth century.  Beginning with reflections on the strict patriarchy

of an American Hindu community and a humorous critique of how Asian

spirituality is filtered through white American culture, the performance's

central theme is the creation * through self-discovery * of a new religion.

Its pantheon of explosive, intercultural deities reign over and accept

supplication for the concerns of a postmodern age * from AIDS to abortion to

art itself.  At the boundaries of theater, cult ritual and poetry, the

artist incarnates herself as original, fearsome divinities never before

experienced on the planet:  the Goddess of Tough Love, the Aborted Buddha,

the Goddess of Absence (Paleface).


   Writer and performance poet Minal Hajratwala's literary work

has appeared in numerous journals and in four anthologies. Her poem "Bodies

of Water" was nominated for the Pushcart Prize after being selected by

writer Meena Alexander to appear in the Asian Pacific American Journal.  In

San Francisco, she has performed at the Luna Sea Women's Performance

Project, A Different Light Queer Readers & Writers Conference, the New

College, 848 Community Space, the Women's Building, Asian Blacks Latinas

Uniting New Tribes, and the Asian American Theater.  She also performed at

the 1998 Desh Pardesh festival in Toronto and went on tour with the New

York-based Asian American Writers Workshop in Southern California.


   Hajratwala is an inaugural writing fellow for 1999-2000 of

the Sundance Institute, and in early 2000 she will be an AIRSpace Artist in

Residence at the Jon Sims Center for the Performing Arts in San Francisco.

In 1997 she received a residency at Hedgebrook Cottages, a retreat for women

writers on Whidbey Island in Washington state.  She is a former board member

of Trikone: Lesbian and Gay South Asians and of the National Lesbian and Gay

Journalists Association.   A graduate of Stanford University, she has been

an editor at the San Jose Mercury News since 1992.


   Avatars: Gods for a New Millennium is co-presented with

Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, the Harvey Milk Institute, A

Different Light Bookstore, the Society for Asian Art, and Trikone: Lesbian

and Gay South Asians.

FilCRA Hosts Civil Rights Summit in Chicago

Filipino Civil Rights Advocates, the national Filipino civil rights
organization, will be holding a civil rights summit Saturday,
November 13,1999 at Loyola University * Lake Shore Campus
(5525 North Sheridan)in the SkyTea room of the Skyscraper Building
from 9:30am to 4:30pm.

The morning will contain presentations on the history of Filipinos in
Chicagoland a history of Filipinos and civil rights.  The afternoon portion
of thesummit will consist of roundtable discussions with FilCRA national
council members, local leaders, students and activists, on issues affecting
the Filipino community locally and nationally including: Filipino World
War II veterans, employment discrimination, hate crimes, and Census 2000.
Afterwards, the group will brainstorm ways individuals and groups can
affect change in ensuring civil rights to the Filipino community as well as
creatinga FilCRA chapter.  The summit is open to all people interested in
civil rights issues in the Filipino community.

Although the Filipino race riots of the 1930s have long since past,
the Filipino community still struggles to gain equity for Filipino World
War IIveterans, fights against the incidents of violence against people of
color, and discrimination in the work place based on accent or national
origin.  As this community moves into the 21st century, census projections
predict that Filipinos will become the largest Asian ethnic group in the
nation.
Filipinos will become a key group to voice the need for equality for all
people.

The summit comes on the 5th anniversary of FilCRA which promotes and
safeguards the interest of the Filipino Community in achieving justice and
equality among all people in the United States through community
organizing,
advocacy, and education.  Based in Oakland, CA, FilCRA chapters are
located inthe New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, and the Los Angeles
Metropolitan areas.

Subject:  Women be careful


Just an FYI,


This notice was sent to our police department to be used for informational

advise to woman.


Please read this information from a woman who works for a police

department.....


  > It's worth being aware of what's going on out there......


  > I have to share some things I have learned in my job with you.

  >

  > In my job, I review criminal and psychiatric files of imprisoned sex

   offenders who are approaching their release date. I decide if

   they are likely to re-offend based on certain criteria and then civilly

   commit them to a sex offender treatment facility if I decide that they

   are at significant risk to re-offend

   >

   > I have read hundreds and hundreds of files, and have taken note

   of some of the mistakes women make. Let me preface this by saying that a

   woman is NEVER EVER EVER at fault for being raped or attacked, but there

   are definitely ways to reduce your risk of being a victim.

   >

   > Here are the most common mistakes women make that could result in

   them getting kidnapped, attacked, and/or raped:

   >

  1. Getting into the attacker's car when he pulls a gun and orders

   you to get into his vehicle.

   >

   > Most attackers don't want to shoot you ... they want you to get

   into the car so that they can drive you to a deserted place and torture

   you.  Don't comply. Run screaming. It is MUCH more likely than not that

   he will just move on to an easier target.

   >

   > 2. Pulling over when a man drives alongside of you pointing at

   your car pretending something is wrong.

   >

   > If this happens, drive to the nearest well-lit and populated gas

   station and look the car over yourself (or ask an attendant). Never pull

   over. Believe it or not, many women have fallen for this for fear of

   their car  spontaneously exploding in the middle of the road. Not likely.

   >

   > 3. Not locking your doors while driving.

   > I have read several cases where the attacker simply walks up to a

   > woman's car while she's at a traffic light and jumps in with his

   gun or knife drawn.

   >

   > 4. Opening your front door when you have not positively

   identified who is there.

   >

   > If you don't have a peep hole, get one. I've seen countless cases

   where the attacker gains access to his victims simply by knocking on

   their door.

   >

   > Don't let an attacker get into your home. He then has a private,

   > relatively soundproof place to attack you.

   >

   > 5. Not being alert in parking lots.

   >

   > If you go to the grocery store at night, don't be shy about

   asking for an escort to your car. Too many women are abducted from

parking

   lots or even raped in the parking lot.

   >

   > Look in your back seat before entering your car. Cars provide

   endless hiding places for attackers, both inside them and in between

   them.

   >

   > Be aware of your surroundings by looking to the left and right

   and behind you with your head up all the time. You may appear

   paranoid and look funny to others, but an attacker will think twice about

   approaching someone who appears so aware of what's going on.

   >

   > 6. Trusting a clean cut, honest looking stranger.

   >

   > I see mug shots of every sex offender in the state of Florida.

   They do not look like monsters. They often look like they could be your

   friendly grocer, bank teller, waiter, neighbor, clergy, doctor, etc. They

   are every age between 15 and 90, and probably beyond. Only a small

   minority actually look scary.

   >

   > I just read a case yesterday of a man with only one leg who beat

   up his victim with his crutch before he raped her. Who would have ever

   thought that a one-legged man could be a rapist?

   >

   > 7. Trusting people to be alone with your children.

   >

   > This is a difficult one, because child molesters end up being the

   LAST person the parents would believe is the molester.

   >

   > Most of the child molesting cases I see involve the stepfather,

   the uncle, the sister's boyfriend, the mother's boyfriend, the

   grandfather, the baby-sitter, the neighbor, the family friend, the youth

camp

   director, day care worker, etc. Although rare, even women can be

molesters.

   >

   > In every case, the perpetrator is a nice guy, trusting, good with

   > children, and the family is baffled or even in disbelief that the

   person could be abusing their child.

   >

   > When it comes to your children and grandchildren, be suspicious

   of everyone, no matter who they are. And pay attention to what your

   child says and how he/she reacts to the mention of different people in

   their lives.

   >

   > I didn't mean to make anyone uncomfortable with this, but I am at

   work right now reviewing files, and realized that this email is a way

   I can reach many women at one time. I have the dirty job of reading all

   these files, and it makes me feel good to know that I can share some

   > inferences from what I have learned. This is not an exhaustive

   list of what not to do, but just some things that I have observed more

than just a

   few times.

   >

   > Pass this on to the women in your lives.

"Corner of the Millennium," a poetry reading and discussion with Daisy Zamora and George Evans

Daisy Zamora, one of the most prominent figures in contemporary Central American literature, took up arms and became a combatant for the National Sandinista Liberation Front of the Nicaraguan Revolution in the early 1970s.  After the triumph of the revolution in 1979, she became Nicaragua's Vice Minister of Culture under poet Ernesto Cardenal (who served as Minister of Culture).  Her work and life have have been the subject of international reviews and articles for the last 2 decades.  She is the author of 3 collections of poetry translated into English: "Riverbed of Memory," "Clean Slate," and "Life for Each."

George Evans was born in a working-class family in Pittsburg and began writing as a runaway teenager.  He served 2 years in Vietnam and was unsuccessfully put on trial for anti-war activities.  He is the founder and editor of Streetfare Journal, a public art and literature project which publishes and displays contemporary poetry and art posters on over 14,000 buses to an audience of 10 million readers in 15 U.S. cities.  He is the author of 4 books of poetry: "Nightvision," "Wrecking," "Eye Blade," and "Sudden Dreams: New & Selected Poems."

Tonight, see these two uncompromising voices cover human rights, class struggle, revolution, art, history and culture through their work.  Both Zamora and Evans articulate the struggles that we continue to experience and caution us to not let the millennium hoopla conceal the human injustices still transpiring.  $5 suggested donation.

YOUTH VOTE 2000 ESTABLISHED AS THE LARGEST, MOST
DIVERSE, NATIONAL, NON-PARTISAN COALITION TO
ENGAGE YOUNG PEOPLE IN POLITICS

Strives to protect future of  U.S. democracy

WASHINGTON, DC, November 9, 1999 - Thirty-seven organizations who
collectively reach millions of young people age 18-30 across the country
have formed "Youth Vote 2000," the largest and most diverse non-partisan
coalition ever established to encourage civic participation among our
nation's young people.

"It's time to break the 'chicken-and-egg' cycle of cynicism and
disengagement and demand that politicians give more than lip service to
the importance of young people's participation in our democracy," said
Julia Cohen, Executive Director.  "Politicians need to take the lead in
responding to the discontent of America's youth.  The future of our
democracy is at stake," she said.

Statistics show a steady decrease in voter turnout, particularly among
young voters.  Less than half of the total population age 18-24 is
registered to vote and of the 24 million youth registered to vote, only
one-third actually voted in the 1996 election.  In 1998, exit polls show
only 15% of young people registered to vote actually voted.

Youth Vote 2000 plans to channel the enthusiasm and passion young people
bring to community and volunteer work into the political process
through:

Youth Training: Hosting Pre-Primary Conferences in Iowa, New Hampshire
and California, where young leaders will be trained to mobilize their
communities;

Voter Education, Registration, & GOTV: Mobilizing organizers around the
country to coordinate the activities of coalition members' local
affiliates and lead non-partisan voter education, registration and get
out the vote activities, including distributing electronic and print
Election Day Civic Guides across the country, to encourage continued
involvement beyond Election Day;

Youth Debates: Calling on the Commission on Presidential Debates and
national political parties to initiate the country's first Presidential
Youth Debate; and local debates across the country.

Headquartered in Washington, DC, Youth Vote 2000 will serve as the
coordinator for the election year activities of its coalition members.
The
Youth Vote 2000 Coalition is directed by a Board, which includes Black
Youth
Vote, Campus Green Vote, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights
Education
Fund, the League of Women Voters Education Fund, the National Council of
La
Raza, the Organization of Chinese Americans, Rock The Vote, Third
Millennium,
U.S. PIRG and the U.S. Student Association.

Coalition members to date include: Arab American Institute, Arsalyn
Foundation, Campus Outreach Opportunity League (COOL), Center for a New
American Dream, Center for Policy Alternatives, Center for Voting &
Democracy, Close Up Foundation, Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, FIRST
Foundation, Free the Planet, Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus
Life, India Abroad Center, GovWorks.com, Human Rights Campaign, League
of Conservation Voters, National Asian Pacific American Legal
Consortium, National Coalition for Students with Disabilities Education
and Legal Defense Fund, National Council of Jewish Women, National
Federation of Filipino American Associations, National Gay and Lesbian
Taskforce, National Italian American Foundation, National Puerto Rican
Coalition, National Student Partnerships, Unitarian Universalist
Association of Congregations, Youth Service America, 20/20 Vision and
the 2030 Center.

Youth Vote 2000 continues to seek and encourage other youth-serving,
non-partisan organizations to join the coalition, including religious,
civil rights, gay and lesbian, labor, student government, disability,
minority and other groups.

Youth Vote 2000 has also developed partnerships with MTV's "Choose or
Lose" campaign, the National Association of Secretaries of State's "New
Millennium Project," Project Vote Smart, and other youth engagement
programs.

Established in 1999 with a generous grant from the Pew Charitable
Trusts, Youth Vote 2000 is the largest non-partisan coalition of diverse
national organizations committed to encouraging civic participation of
young people in the United States.  Youth Vote 2000's strategy is to
channel the power of coalition members' extensive national networks
along with the enthusiasm and passion of youth leaders to engage young
people in the political process and demand attention from politicians.

MTV LAUNCHES CHOOSE OR LOSE 2000

Chris Connelly Interviews Senator John McCain November 8 in Washington
DC;  Interview to air on MTV November 9

MTV has the opportunity to register the largest generation of new voters
since the baby boom -- in  Partnership  with "Youth Vote 2000"

New York, NY (November 8, 1999) - MTV: Music Television is renewing it's
commitment to empowering and engaging America's young people in the
political system by bringing back its popular "Choose or Lose" campaign
for the 2000 election.   MTV will kick off "Choose or Lose 2000" when
MTV News correspondent Chris Connelly interviews U.S. Senator and
Republican presidential hopeful John McCain today in Washington, DC.
The interview will run Tuesday, November 9 on the MTV News segment shown
during "Total Request Live" which airs 3:30-5:00pm EST/PST.

Originally launched in 1992, "Choose or Lose" is a comprehensive
on-and-off air campaign designed to inform young people about the
political process, the presidential election and to register them to
vote. "Choose or Lose 2000" will include issue-oriented news specials,
interviews with the candidates, concerts, grass-roots voter registration
events, online components, coverage of the primary season and party
conventions and will culminate with the election night wrap-up.

MTV has the opportunity to register the largest generation of new voters
since the baby boom.  By connecting MTV's news coverage to a massive
voter registration drive, "Choose or Lose 2000" could significantly
impact voter participation and turnout.

"MTV's driving philosophy is to connect with youth in every way
possible," said Judy McGrath, President of MTV.  "Our audience tells us
what issues they care about and we try to provide them with the
information they need to ensure they have a voice. 'Choose or Lose' has
given them a voice in the political process in the past and we hope to
have an even greater impact in 2000."

"I'm running for president to inspire youth to causes greater than their
self-interest," said Senator McCain.  "Many young people today feel they
cannot affect the system. They worry that their votes do not count -
that big money and special interests have taken over the system.  I want
to reform government so that the voices of America's youth can be heard,
whether those voices are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or
vegetarian.  I applaud MTV for their efforts to involve young people in
the political process."

Dave Sirulnick, Executive Vice-President, News and Production for MTV
added, "In our first Choose or Lose 2000 Poll, we found that 7 out of 10
young people, aged 17-24 years old, are interested in issues or causes
they care about but only one third of those say they are currently
interested in politics and government. 'Choose or Lose' will talk to
them on their terms, giving them access to the candidates and the
national debate."

Currently, only 3 out of 10 17-24 year olds surveyed say they are "100%
sure" they will vote in the 2000 presidential election.  Of those 18-24
year olds who are currently not registered or uncertain if they are,
only 29% report being "totally certain" or "very likely" to register and
vote. The top issues of concern for today's young voters are education
(58%), violence and crime (50%), jobs and the economy (46%), drugs (44%)
and health care (38%).  The nationally representative telephone survey
of 600 young adults aged 17-24 was conducted October 19-24 for MTV by
Garin Hart Yang Research Group and has a margin of error of +/- 4.1%.

MTV's Choose or Lose campaign will also strategically partner with
"Youth Vote 2000" to register young people to vote across the country.
"Youth Vote 2000" is the largest non-partisan coalition of national
organizations committed to encouraging civic participation and promoting
a better understanding of public policy issues among young people in the
United States. The coalition includes:  Black Youth Vote, Campus Green
Vote, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund, the
League of Women Voters Education Fund, the National Council of La Raza,
the Organization of Chinese Americans, Rock The Vote, Third Millennium,
U.S. PIRG and the U.S. Student Association.

In 1992, "Choose or Lose" was credited with dramatically increasing
voter turnout, resulting in the highest voter turnout among 18-24 year
olds since 1972 (U.S. Bureau of the Census).  In 1996, MTV took to the
streets with the "Choose or Lose Bus" which toured more than 80,000
miles through 48 states. Between the two "Choose or Lose" campaigns,
MTV, working with "Rock the Vote," has registered more than 850,000
voters.
