Film screening of Battleship Potemkin
Start: 7:00 pm
End: 10:00 pm

The cinematic masterpiece, by director Sergei M. Eisenstein's, fictionally
recounts events that ultimately led to the Bolshevik Revolution. Fed up with
the ship's officers' brutalities and with maggot-infested rations, the crew
of the battleship Prince Potemkin revolts. The rebellion ignites an uprising
by the citizens of Odessa, resulting in czarist troops' infamous, systematic
slaughter of insurgents and bystanders.

For Jobs and Freedom: Race and Labor in America since 1865--A Reading and Discussion
Start: 7:00 pm
End: 10:00 pm

For Jobs and Freedom: Race and Labor in America since 1865 is the historical narrative of the African American fight for job equality and organized labor’s (often inadequate) response to their demands. Zieger, an award-winning historian of labor in the US, examines the employment struggles of African Americans from the abolition of slavery to the present and argues that the availability of jobs was the cornerstone on which the concept of freedom hinged.

Robert H. Zieger is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Florida and the author of several books, including American Workers, American Unions; The CIO, 1935–1955; and John L. Lewis: Labor Leader.

Austin Anarchist Soccer presents: The 2007 Anti-Racist World Cup Slideshow

The Mondiali Antirazzisti (Anti-Racist World Cup) is an annual
tournament in Italy that celebrates football -- as it's known in the
rest of the world -- in its purest form: non-commercial,
anti-competitive, bringing people together and not causing division
through racism, nationalism and sexism. It's a really fun time as well.

In 2006 Austin Anarchist Soccer was the first team ever from North America
to play in the Mondiali. This Year AAS fielded two teams at
the tournament. Both times we took home the Coppa Chilometra
(Kilometer Cup) for being the team that traveled the furthest distance
to attend. The first year it was awarded to Texas Anti-Borders Patrol,
and last year it was given to ATX United.
