SOS is an empowering story of successful community action to shut down leaking reactors. But then they discover horrific amounts of high-level radioactive waste lethal for millions of years are being placed in thin canisters only 108 ft. from the rising sea. Criminal mismanagement of radioactive waste is a syndrome at all 93 reactors in the U.S. and beyond. Will safer alternatives be taken in time?
The film will be available at no charge for video on demand viewing anytime from June 3 through June 10 thanks to an educational grant from the Grassroots Network of the Sierra Club to the Nuclear Free Team at this website.

"Woodstock came about because of the Viet Nam War and young people's desire
to express love and peace with music," said Carolyn Harding of Grassroot
Ohio, an event organizer. "FrackStock operates on the same premise-love,
Justin and music."
Nobel spent seven years traveling eastern and southeastern Ohio, West

Move to Amend invites you to join others to read this new book [Manifesto for World Revolution] and attend a virtual program on Thursday, May 30, co-sponsored by Move to Amend and A Radical Guide.
Manifesto for World Revolution presents a compelling and radical (i.e. getting to the root!) list of ideas to achieve a fundamental, systemic, profound, and sustainable future. One of them is revoking corporate charters — which Move to Amend has discussed since our founding!
The book calls for a “non-violent grassroots insurgency — borderless, leaderless, beyond Left and Right — in a last-ditch we-the-People stand.” It poignantly asks: “Where do you want to go?”
“Manifesto takes an unflinching look at our shared imperiled planetary realities under corporate rule and meets the moment by offering tangible tactics that challenge us to mobilize and alter the current global trajectory. A strategy book that engages the senses for liberation.”

NATO What You Need To Know
By MEDEA BENJAMIN and DAVID SWANSON
“An indispensable primer. It can save your life — indeed all of our lives…NATO is a clear and present danger to world peace, a war machine run amok.”
— Jeffrey D. Sachs
“Read this book to understand how NATO promotes a logic of domination, not equality, or justice or peace.”
—Clare Daly, MEP
Thursday, May 23, 7pm, Tuttle Park [outside of the Tuttle Community Center], 240 W. Oakland Ave.
Join us this Thursday, May 23 at 6pm at Tuttle Park outside of the recreation center (weather permitting) or online at tinyurl.com/CORSmeeting to discuss Victor Serge’s What Every Radical Should Know about State Repression. The full text is available here.
After the victory of the Russian revolution, Serge was tasked with going through the archives of the Tsar’s secret police. His study reveals the incredible level of surveillance, infiltration, and provocation against which the Bolsheviks had to fight. His analysis shows how they were able to win, and ultimately how we can win against repression by our own state. This information is vital for any organizers to know in our current political moment.
