Countdown to A Wake-up Call for Obama Nation - 5 Days

We are trained to believe that nothing major is wrong. Global warming? Economic meltdown? Epidemics of preventable diseases? Slavery, genocide, ecocide? You name it and we’re ready to downplay it. We’re Americans, goddammit, we’ll figure out a way to fix it. When the going gets tough, we’ll call the experts. ...

We know things have passed the proverbial tipping point and that immediate action is 100% needed and justified, but we’re far too spineless to do anything that might get us in trouble. Somehow, it’s more terrifying for any of us to face down a cop than it is to contemplate the total destruction of our earthly eco-system.

If it’s true that action expresses priorities, we American activists aren’t overly concerned about the future.

-Mickey Z., Five Reasons Why Americans Won’t Resist

Join Derrick Jensen and Mickey Z. on Saturday, April 25 at 7 p.m. for “A Wake-up Call for Obama Nation,” as they break through the conventional wisdom that suffocates public discourse in Washington. Along with dissecting the first 100 days of the Obama administration, they’ll offer ideas on how to avoid ecocide and resist corporate-controlled culture. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to see Derrick and Mickey together in the Rosslyn neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia, only one Metro stop from Washington.
