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

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.

Monthly meeting of the Lucy Parsons Branch of the IWW.

This will be the inaugural presentation for a new monthly series at Monkeywrench, Community and Labor Organizing. We will feature local leaders and organizations involved in community and workplace organizing in the Austin area.

David Kobierowski recently spearheaded an effort to save his apartment complex, Northcastle Apartment Homes, from being bulldozed by developers and replaced with luxury condos. They were successful; the development company withdrew its rezoning application. The complex remains, with affordable rents. David will tell us the story of their fight and hopefully inspire us to launch more fights against developers and for city-wide affordable housing.

You can learn more about the Northcastle campaign at Austin Housing Pinch.
