The festival, titled "Every Little Thing Adds Up," highlights "urban grassroots environmental activism — revealing how community organizing, direct action and education have led to a more sustainable city and helped to combat climate change."
The films begin tomorrow evening at La Plaza Cultural on the SW corner of Ninth Street and Avenue C.
In addition, on Saturday afternoon, the annual NYC Anarchist Book Fair will take place at La Plaza Cultural. That evening, MoRUS is collaborating on the Emma Goldman Film Festival, which is set for Tompkins Square Park.
You can find more details on the festival and the featured films right here. Advance tix are available at Eventbrite. You can also buy tickets on the evenings of the screenings in the garden venues. (There isn't any admission for the films in Tompkins.)
Nothing about HOUSING to be seen here at all !! I had the mistaken impression , from the beginning , that MoRUS would be primarily advocating for housing and environmental and other problems at NYCHA housing in the LES. Too bad they seem to have forgotten the old squatter chant...Housing is a Human Right.
ReplyDeleteAlso . too bad the Umbrella squat , where the organizer has an apartment , unless he sold his like many others did there , never told the people who stopped their Koch eviction that they were going to collect rent from commercial businesses and use it for what ? Those spaces and the one MoRUS rents at See Squat should have been used for HOUSING !! FYI I was tackled and arrested at the attempted Koch eviction at Umbrella.
