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.

The Chicago Coalition Against War & Racism has recently learned that

George Bush will be in Chicago at 12 noon, Tuesday, Sept. 30 to speak at

a $2000-a-plate fundraiser at the Sheraton Hotel (Columbus Drive, just

north of the Chicago River, just east of the NBC Building).



We appeal to all Chicago area groups and individuals to help create a

united protest against George Bush.

"Reframing 911: Alternatives to Endless War"

WBAI Forum, Sept. 11-14, 2003

"OK, we all have anniversary fatigue. But if administration critics cede 9/11 to the right, Karl Rove wins."
-- Joan Walsh, VP and News Editor, Salon.com, September 2002

"Some criticize this war on terror as unilateral or pre-emptive. But didn't September 11 teach us that we cannot wait while threats gather? That we must connect the dots, even if other nations refuse to see the pattern? That pre- empting terrorists before they acquire weapons of mass destruction, before they come to our shores, before they can harm America is the goal?"
-- Ken Mehlman, Bush Reelection Campaign Manager, NYC, July 2003

REFRAMING 911: ALTERNATIVES TO ENDLESS WAR; WE MUST CONNECT THE DOTS

About the festival:

Media Tacticians from all continents will gather in Amsterdam,

the fact that Next 5 Minutes is only put together when the times
demand a new edition. Central to the festival is the concept of
"tactical media", the fusion of art, media and politics. The
preparations for the festival started on September 11, 2002, exactly
one year after the 9/11 disaster. Now the festival is opened on
September 11, 2003 with testimonies from Afghanistan, Iraq and the
United States.
