Thursday, June 11 BOULDER Confused by the causes and consequences of the financial crisis? Come join us at the National Economic Crisis Video Screening & Forum. The bailouts are widening the gap between the rich and poor. Our government has spent trillions of our dollars to prop up a banking system that has failed the country. Wall St. needs to be stopped and our government needs to break up the insolvent banks and never again let them get so big that they distort our politics and corrupt the economy. This film is being shown all over the country next week. Be part of this national movement to take our country back. The video can also be seen at www.anewwayforward, but we'd love to have you join us for this community event. 7 p.m. at Humanities 150, CU.

Tuesday, June 23 BOULDER A talk by David Barsamian: "Afghanistan-Pakistan: The Empire Retools" What is going on in Afghanistan and Pakistan and why is U.S. involvement rapidly escalating? Exit strategy from Iraq? Send the troops to Afghanistan. Obama identifies Afghanistan and Pakistan as the central front of the - no longer called but still being fought - war on terror. Iraq was the wrong war but the one being waged primarily on the Afghanistan and Pakistan border is the right one. Are these policies the change voters wanted?
