Join the Bus Riders Union - ATX!
Start: 7:30 pm

The Bus Riders Union-ATX is a group of bus passengers organizing to fight
the Capital Metro fare increase.

Capital Metro is trying to double the bus fares, to pay for very expensive
trains that will run to the suburb of Leander. The people of Austin, many
of whom are transit dependent, will benefit very little from this new
service, but are being asked to pay twice what they currently pay for bus
transportation. Austinites already pay a 1% sales tax to Metro, and that
contribution, along with the current fare, is more than enough.

Standing with the Students film screening and discussion with film-maker
Start: 7:00 pm

Standing with the Students tells the story of the struggle of students in
the University of Buea in the Ambazonia region of Cameroon. In response to
a proposed 100% hike in tuition the students went on strike, with the
demands to stop the tuition raise; the construction of toilets and water
fountains, and new books for the library. The government responded with
repression, and to date six students have been killed by government forces
during peaceful protests.

The documentary uses the student movement as a jumping off point to
examine the legacies of colonialism and neocolonialism in Africa, the
impact of economic globalization and the subjugation of the English
speaking Ambazonia region by the French neocolonial Cameroon Regime.

This documentary is the first film of director Valentine Eben, a member of
the Ambazonia Independent Media Center, who will be joining us to present
his film and facilitate a discussion afterwards.
