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

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.

Everyone who's interested in Anarchist Soccer but didn't go to Italy

In honor of Buy Nothing Day, Monkeywrench Books will be closed this Friday, November 23rd.*

Buy Nothing Day is a movement started in response to the orgy of consumerism that the holiday season has become. The Friday after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year in the US. I'm sure we're all too familiar with the stories every year of tramplings at Wal-mart as crazed shoppers fight one another over video game consoles and children's toys.

===========================================

On the 38th anniversary of the assassination of Fred Hampton, the MonkeyWrench Film Series presents:

The Murder Of Fred Hampton ( 1971, 91 min.)

An unprecedented documentary on the slain leader of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party, Fred Hampton, killed on December 4th, 1969 by Chicago police while he slept in his apartment.
Filmmakers Mike Gray and Howard Alk were filming a documentary portrait of this charismatic speaker and community organizer when his murder occurred. Arriving at the crime scene only a few hours after the police raid, the unsettling footage they captured was later used to contradict news reports and police testimony in what many believe to be Hampton's assassination.
