A Call for Workshop Proposals!



The National Conference on Organized Resistance (NCOR) collective is
currently accepting workshop proposals for the 7th annual NCOR, which will
take place January 23-25, 2004 at American University in Washington, DC.

NCOR is an annual event that brings together activists from a variety of
issues, struggles, ideologies and backgrounds for a weekend of learning
and reflecting on the state of progressive movements occurring locally,
nationally and worldwide. Through workshops, panel discussions,
skillshares, tabling, and the creation of an open and safe space, the
conference aims at promoting organized action amongst participants against
the injustices and inequalities that are present in our daily lives.

Panel Discussion of Peter Linebaugh's
The London Hanged: Crime and Civil Society in the Eighteenth Century

September 30, 8 PM

National Arts Club

(Sculpture Court, 15 Gramercy Park South, NYC

phone : 212-475-3424)


Panel Participants:

PETER LINEBAUGH, ROBIN BLACKBURN, ERIC FONER, MICHAEL RATNER, ROBIN KELLEY


The London Hanged has been widely praised as as an exemplary, trail-blazing and indispensable history of crime and society in the eighteenth century and on the rise of capitalism. Its highly original and provocative analysis of the
links between new forms of private property and the criminalization of the
poor, illustrated in the public hangings at the Tyburn gallows, has made it a
powerful model for understanding globalization and local struggles today.

AktiviX: Activists' GNU/Linux Workshop

September 20-21, 2003, Lancaster, UK.

A weekend for environmental / animal rights / peace / social justice campaigners to get to know GNU/Linux

Aktivix

Still using Microsoft? M$ -- one of the world's richest corporations, a
major backer of Dubya Bush, globalisation and animal testing. STOP! Use
Linux
instead. Free Software based on sharing and co-operation. GNU/Linux, once
a plaything for geeks is now an impressive, stable, secure, virus-free
and versatile alternative to Microsoft.

AktiviX is a chance to try out installing and running GNU/Linux. A chance
to share experiences and enthusiasm with other activists. Whatever the
level
of ability, confidence or experience with computers all activists who are
interested in moving to Free software for a Free world are welcome.
