Subject: #-266 THIS SUNDAY, Platkin and Winograd at Levantine, Dec. 11

THIS SUNDAY       

WHAT:     Dick Platkin & Marcy Winograd on

            "The Occupy Movement and U.S. Foreign Policy"   

WHEN:        Sunday, December 11, 1 PM

WHERE:      Levantine Cultural Center:  5998 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles 310.657.5511  (between Fairfax and La Cienega; park on the street or under the CVS pharmacy across Pico).  

    

The crackdown on many of the Occupy encampments throughout the United States, including Los Angeles, indicates that this protest movement is at a crossroads.  Will it grow by improving its analysis and expanding its reach beyond the encampments, or will it stagnate in response to attacks?

Some of the critical questions are:

·         How does the high price of US militarism and wars result in domestic cutbacks and inequality?

·         How can a sharp critique of US foreign policy, especially in the Middle East, be integrated with Occupy's focus on domestic inequality in wealth and income?

·         What specific actions, such as calls for public employee pension funds to engage in socially responsible investment, can better link domestic and foreign policy issues?

Ed, thought you would enjoy and possibly be able to post some of these Art Young prophetic political cartoons.

Glenn Bray has an amazing collection of his work. You can contact Glenn at Glenn Bray <gbray@socal.rr.com>

The "crippled" piece is especially right for our times.
