Week 4 - How to: DIY

More info coming soon!

Apparently xenophobic right-wing zealot Tom Tancredo didn't get the message when he was run off of UNC's campus last year. Neo-fascist student group Youth for Western Civilization has invited the immigrant-bashing Colorado politician back to speak again - this time to be defended by a cordon of armed police. Don't let UNC-Chapel Hill and the cowardly racist apologist Chancellor Holden Thorp allow fascist organizing to go on with impunity! Come protest and see what "free speech" is all about - whose speech is defended with tasers and pepper spray, and whose speech is attacked with them?

Join us at the Internationalist in welcoming gay vampire novelist Damian Serbu!

Damian Serbu lives in the Chicago area with his partner of seventeen years and two dogs. After earning a Ph.D. in history (2001), he now teaches at the collegiate level. His love for vampires – and all things horrific – fused together with his academic training to inspire his first novel, The Vampire’s Angel. A childhood nightmare led to his second novel, Secrets in the Attic, forthcoming summer 2010.

Join us at Internationalist Books as we discuss Lierre Keith's controversial new book "The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice and Sustainability" (PM Press, 2009). Derrick Jensen says this book "saved his life", while Alice Walker calls it "one of the most important books we can read" - yet vegans delivered a cayenne-laced pie to the face of the author during her reading at the 2010 San Francisco Anarchist Bookfair! What's all the fuss about?
