SUMMARY:Lecture by Preet Bharara
DESCRIPTION:The Cooper Union’s 2017 John Jay Iselin Memorial Lecture\, which is free and open to the public\, will feature former United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara.\nThis is sold out due to overwhelming demand.\nMr. Bharara oversaw the investigation and litigation of all criminal and civil cases brought on behalf of the United States in the Southern District of New York. Under his leadership\, the office experienced one of the most productive periods in its history. Known for being at the forefront of prosecuting financial misconduct including securities fraud and insider trading\, this record of rooting out fraud earned Bharara the nickname “Sheriff of Wall Street” according to ABC News.\nIn addition to helping secure convictions of numerous insider trading defendants\, his office brought a number of significant civil actions alleging financial and healthcare fraud and collected hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements\, including from Deutsche Bank\, CitiMortgage and Bank of America for fraud relating to faulty lending practices. His office also held to account several of the world’s largest corporations for their misconduct\, including JP Morgan Chase for its relationship with Madoff Securities. Under Mr. Bharara’s supervision\, the office brought a series of significant and systemically revelatory public corruption cases against members of New York City and State governments. Furthermore\, the office continued its traditional civil rights work by\, for example\, conducting a multi-year investigation into the treatment of adolescent males at Rikers Island.\nMr. Bharara graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College with an A.B. in Government in 1990\, and from Columbia Law School with a J.D. in 1993\, where he was a member of the Columbia Law Review.

SUMMARY:1984 National Screening Day
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 4\, 2017\n6:00 PM \n\nLincoln Center\n65 N Broadway\nAt 66th Street and Broadway\nNew York City\, NY (map)\nOn April 4\, 2017\, almost 90 art house movie theaters across the country in 79 cities and in 34 states\, plus one location in Canada\, will be participating collectively in a NATIONAL EVENT DAY screening of the 80’s movie 1984 starring John Hurt\, who sadly died last month. This date was chosen because it’s the day George Orwell’s protagonist Winston Smith begins rebelling against his oppressive government by keeping a forbidden diary. These theaters owners also strongly believe in supporting the National Endowment for the Arts and see any attempt to scuttle that program as an attack on free speech and creative expression through entertainment. This event provides a chance for communities around the country to show their unity and have their voices heard.

SUMMARY:Build the Movement for $15 NOW!
DESCRIPTION:Over the past several months\, we’ve seen a tremendous surge in grassroots political action opposing the destructive policies of the Trump administration. From the historical Women’s March in Washington\, DC to the airport protests that helped push back on Trump’s anti-Muslim travel ban\, ordinary people are demonstrating an extraordinary willingness to fight back.\nBut defeating the right-wing’s bigoted\, anti-worker agenda will require more than defensive action. The Left must also put forward a positive\, alternative vision with bold demands that can unite working people in struggle for a better future.\nThe demand for a $15/hour minimum wage is one part of that broad program.\nLast year when NJ legislators proposed carve-outs that would have disproportionately impacted women\, immigrant workers and people of color\, our movement answered them with a swift and decisive NO. That’s the kind of solidarity we’re going to need to stop Trump and his collaborators in their tracks.\nJoin us on April 1st to demand $15 for all workers: No racist\, sexist carve-outs! No exceptions for youth labor!\nEvent Co-Sponsors\n——————\nSocialist Alternative NJ\nGreen Party of NJ\nNJ Badass Teachers Association (BATS)\nIf your organization would like to co-sponsor the rally\, please email us at 15NowNJ@gmail.com

DESCRIPTION:CAIR-NJ and ATNJ are pleased to announce an exciting new initiative between our respective members.

(We really are going to change our world!) \n*No pork products/gelatin and alcohol. Kosher products are fine. \nWhere: ICPC Clifton Campus\, ​257 Pershing Rd\, Clifton\, NJ 07013 \nCAIR is the largest Civil Rights Organization for American Muslims in USA with over 30 offices around the nation.

SUMMARY:Don't Take Our Health Care Rally
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, Republicans in Congress plan on ramming Trumpcare through the House of Representatives. Do you know what Thursday is? The 7th anniversary of the day the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. By every available metric\, Trumpcare will make health care in America worse. It is a cruel and immoral piece of legislation. And the petty politicians who want to pass it are using a day that signified 22 million Americans gaining badly needed health insurance to take that care away from 24 million Americans over the next 10 years.\nJoin us on Thursday at the State House Annex Steps to rally to protect our care and tell our elected leaders “Don’t Take Our Health Care!”

That means you can park on that section of Rt 27 or on any side streets. Some people choose to park in the municipal parking lot directly across the street- please just be careful crossing.\n2) The parking lot directly next to the schoolhouse is for the YMCA offices/Masons and we do not have permission to use it.\n3) There are public lots that you can enter on Pearl Street and parking is FREE after 6pm. (at meters or in lots)\n4) Come early and have dinner downtown!! Metuchen has many fine places to eat. There is also the new large parking deck at the far end of Pearl Street- that is NOT free.\nMost of all- please remember to bring non perishable food for our local food pantry. The venue was kind enough to host us in exchange for help in the community!

SUMMARY:Author reading and talk with Patrick Phillips
DESCRIPTION:Book reading and talk with autor Patrick Phillips. Looking forward to this POSOC & L.I.V.E.- sponsored author reading and book talk! Have you read a little ‘Blood at the Root’ yet? Here’s a snippet of the intro. Tell me if this history isn’t tapping us on the shoulders now.\n“That was the night bands of white men set out on horseback\, riding toward the little clusters of cabins that dotted the woodlands and pastures along the river. Using posted notices\, scrawled letters\, rifles\, torches\, and sticks of dynamite\, they delivered a message to their black neighbors—including many they had known and worked with all their lives. The black people of Forsyth could either load up and get across the county line before the next sundown\, or stay and die like Rob Edwards.\nBy the end of October\, the night riders had forced out all but a handful of the 1\,098 members of the African American community—who left in their wake abandoned homes and schools\, stores and livestock\, and harvest-ready crops standing in the fields. Overnight\, their churches stood empty\, the rooms where they used to sing “River of Jordan” and “Go Down Moses” now suddenly\, eerily quiet.\nThe purge was so successful that within weeks there was no one left for the mobs to terrorize\, and whites who had either taken part in the raids or simply stood aside as they passed now settled back into the rhythms of farm life…\nGeneration after generation\, Forsyth County remained “all white\,”…But now and again throughout the century\, whenever someone intentionally or unwittingly violated the racial ban\, white men could be counted on to rise up like they always had and drive the intruders away. Years might pass between such episodes\, but each time it happened\, Georgians were reminded that while the racial cleansing of 1912 seemed like ancient history\, in truth\, it had never really ended. In truth\, many in Forsyth believed that “racial purity” was their inheritance and birthright. And like their fathers’ fathers’ fathers\, they saw even a single black face as a threat to their entire way of life.”
