SUMMARY:Free Comedy Theater + Disaster Auction = The Perfect Night Out
DESCRIPTION:This fun\, FREE event is part theater\, part auction – and all help for hurricane victims. You’ll laugh\, you’ll feel hope\, you’ll experience the world class comedy of Ted & Co TheaterWorks… \nCome prepared to laugh out loud\, to bid on auction items (part of the performance)\, and to lend your support to a cause close to all our hearts: All funds raised will benefit the work of Mennonite Disaster Service restoring homes and hope for those affected by natural disaster. MDS is currently working in Texas\, Florida\, and Puerto Rico\, helping those affected by the 2017 hurricanes. \nGet your tickets soon – space is limited! \nAbout the show: \nThere are many Gospel stories of Jesus gathered around tables. There was food to eat and food for thought\, exploring who was invited to those tables and who showed up. The miracles of Jesus were sometimes ordinary stories with extraordinary results. \nTake a fresh look at the Gospel stories and discover that when uncorked\, these stories pour out sparkling drops of laughter such as Jesus must have found in the people he met along the way. Ted and Jeff have gathered these stories\, mixing in a pinch of humor\, a dollop of song and several servings of pasta with some cheese and wine on the side. \nBon Appetit! \nReserve your free tickets online today!

We will be screening If A Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front (2011)\, writing letters and cards of support to anarchist political prisoners\, and selling vegan tamales at a sliding scale to raise money for Marius!\n \nIf A Tree Falls tells the remarkable story of one cell of the Earth Liberation Front\, by focusing on the transformation\nand radicalization of one of its members\, Daniel McGowan. Part coming-of-age tale\, part cops-and-robbers thriller\, the film interweaves a verite chronicle of Daniel on house arrest as he faces life in prison\, with a dramatic recounting of the events that led to his involvement with the group. And along the way it asks hard questions about environmentalism\, activism\, and the way we define terrorism. \nChildren are very welcome and Solidarity Houston has a children’s corner with books\, crafts\, and games. \nSolidarity Houston is wheelchair accessible space through the front entrance\, and has one gender neutral wheelchair accessible bathroom (does not have an accessibility bar). The space is not currently scent free. Service animals always welcome\, non-human animal companions are welcome as well.

SUMMARY:On Coal River Film Screening and Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 3rd\, 7PM @ Rice Cinema\n\n\n\n\nThe Ethnographic Film Society is proud to present a public screening of “On Coal River”\, a documentary about environmental justice in coal country Appalachia. The screening is free and open to the public. A 5$ donations at the door to support Coal River Mountain Watch\, one of the activist organization prominently featured in the film\, are greatly appreciated.\n\nFor more information see our Facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/118627328680500/\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCoal River Valley\, West Virginia is a community surrounded by lush mountains and a looming toxic threat. ON COAL RIVER follows a former miner and his neighbors in a David-and-Goliath struggle for the future of their valley\, their children\, and life as they know it.\n\nEd Wiley once worked at the same coal waste facility that now threatens his granddaughter’s elementary school. When his local government refuses to act\, Ed embarks on a quest to have the school relocated to safer ground.  With insider knowledge and a sharp sense of right and wrong\, Ed confronts his local school board\, the state government\, and a notorious coal company — Massey Energy — for putting his granddaughter and his community at risk.\n\nAlong the way\, Ed is supported by his neighbors Bo and Judy\, who have their own problems with the coal company.  Ex-marine Bo Webb retired to his childhood home only to discover that this once-idyllic valley is being transformed by the practice of “mountaintop removal” – blowing up mountains to extract coal.  Bo’s neighbor Judy Bonds was forced to leave her ancestral home when the same company opened a mine next door – sending dangerous black water down the creek where her grandson played.  Together\, Bo and Judy help Ed bring attention to the dangers at Marsh Fork Elementary\, hoping that if they save the school\, they can save the valley.\n\nAcross the river\, Maria Lambert recognizes a pattern in the unusual health problems plaguing her community.  Following intuition\, and what she describes as a mission from above\, Maria gathers evidence suggesting that nearby coal companies have contaminated her neighborhood’s water supply.\n\nShot over a five-year period\, ON COAL RIVER follows the transformation of these four remarkable individuals as they fight for the valley they love — and for future generations.

SUMMARY:Earth Day Barter Fair
DESCRIPTION:A Barter Fair provides an opportunity to trade objects and services without using common currency. The Quaker testimonies of Simplicity\, Community and Stewardship encourage Friends to find creative ways to care for the earth and each other\, and we want to extend this opportunity to others in the community. Creating a space to practice thinking together in a new way about how we place value on objects and services within our community seems like a worthwhile way to observe the 48th anniversary of Earth Day. \nTo get involved\, just come!   Bring a table\, shelf\, rug or blanket to display your goods or a sign that describes your service(s). CHILDREN ARE WELCOME! Children are often the best models of how this can work. They have the ability to add value to an item by describing potential uses\, and the creativity to negotiate three-way trades. \nThere will be a designated area for “free” items that you are willing to give to whomever wants them. Visitors may then use such items to barter and trade with if they wish. \nNo money will be exchanged for services or goods\, although monetary donations may be made to Live Oak Friends Meeting House for the use of their space. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Roy Zimmerman Concert - Potluck- Fundraiser for Peace Camp Houston
DESCRIPTION:What can one person do about climate change\, torture\, racism\, xenophobia\, gun violence\, fracking\, Congressional ineptitude\, ignorance\, war and greed?  Write funny songs\, says Roy Zimmerman \, master satirist\, songwriter\, and performer. \nHPJC is bringing Roy Zimmerman back to Houston in a benefit to raise funds for Peace Camp Houston.  \n“ReZist” is ninety minutes of Roy Zimmerman’s hilarious\, rhyme-intensive original songs. \n“Sometimes I think satire is the most hopeful and heartfelt form of expression\,” says Roy\, “because in calling out the world’s absurdities and laughing in their face\, I’m affirming the real possibility for change.” \nRoy’s songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime.  He’s shared stages with Bill Maher\, Robin Williams\, Ellen DeGeneres\, John Oliver\, Kate Clinton and George Carlin.  He’s been profiled on NPR’s “All Things Considered\,” and he’s a featured blogger for the Huffington Post. \nHe’s funny\, he’s a great musician\, he’s an excellent performer\, and his in-person performances are outstanding.  What more could you ask for? \nThe concert starts at 7:30 pm\, but there’s also an optional pot luck dinner at 6:30 pm — bring some food or drink to share\, if you wish. \nVisit Roy’s web site and check out his music on YouTube for more information about him and his music. If you can’t come\, but would like to help us pay expenses so more children can attend peace camp\, go to the Peace Camp Houston donation form. \nReserve your discount seats now!\nWe’re asking for a contribution of $20 at the door\, or $15 in advance\, but if that’s too much for you\, please let us know. \n\nIf you’d like to purchase tickets with a check\, make it payable to “Houston Peace and Justice Center”\, and indicate “Roy Zimmerman” on the memo line. Please also send us your email so we can add to our updates list! Mail it to HPJC\, PO Box 66234\, Houston TX 77266-6234.  Mail early so that we’ll receive the checks by March 8.\nUse the form below to purchase your tickets online!\n\nWe’ll also collect additional donations just for this summer’s Peace Camp Houston\, for those who can give more.  We hope to add more weeks of peace camp\, at different locations\, and provide subsidies for more children of lower income families – it all depends on how much funds we can raise. Please give generously!

SUMMARY:House Concert w/ Rainbow Girls in KPFT backyard
DESCRIPTION:We’ll have a keg of home brew and kombucha\, some blankets on the grass and an intimate\, bluesy show by the Rainbow Girls – three of my best friends from Bodega Bay\, CA\, stopping through on their south coast house concert tour. We’ll be taking donations and all donations will BENEFIT Houston Stands with Standing Rock. Much thanks to KPFT for hosting us in their awesome backyard! Bring friendly folks\, children are welcome 🙂 \n7 PM – Drinks\, hang out\n8 PM – MUSIC WILL START AT 8 PM \nHere’s some info:\nhttps://www.rainbowgirlsmusic.com/\nemail: rainbowgirlsmusic@gmail.com\ninstagram: rainbowgirlsstomp\ntwitter: @rainbowgirrs \nRainbow Girls is a collaborative of songwriters\, multi-instrumentalists\, vocalists\, and California natives who’ve spent the last 4 years touring Europe and the US as a rock n’ roll band\, but who’ve recently returned to their folkier roots by embarking on a house concert tour across America. This trio version of the band (Eric Chapin\, Caitlin Gowdy and Vanessa May) highlights their rich harmonies\, ageless songwriting\, and soulful\, bluesy sound at it’s rawest form. \nThe ladies came together at an underground open mic in Santa Barbara\, CA in 2010 and since then have released two studio albums\, toured the US and Europe extensively\, and simultaneously developed two different forms of performing: 1) An electric\, rock n’ roll\, foot-stomping spectacular\, enticing people to let loose\, get naked and dance wildly; And 2) An intimate and acoustic set based around their unique harmonies and folkier roots. \nThese are some of my best friends from my earliest days in California and I’m so happy to be able to share them with you. This will also be one of my last hurrahs in Houston for a while so I hope to see you there! \n90.1 FM KPFT Houston \n419 Lovett Blvd\, Houston\, Texas 77006

SUMMARY:HPJC 2016 Peacemaker Awards Dinner with Sonia Nazario
DESCRIPTION:Join peace and justice activists from the southeast Texas area in our 2016 celebration of peacemakers. The reservation deadline was Nov. 7\, and the meal counts have already been turned into the hotel\, so no more reservations can be accepted. \nOur national peacemaker and keynote speaker for 2016 is Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sonia Nazario\, author of bestseller Enrique’s Journey\, a true story about a young Honduran boy’s search for his mother who left home to find work in the US to pay for food for her starving family. The story is representative of thousands of children who endure similar struggles\, many of whom die while trying to reach their mothers. Read Nazario’s LA Times articles that led to her Pulitzer Prize.  Nazario’s latest article in the NY Times in English or en Español. \nOur local peacemaker awardees\, who will also tell us about their activities\, are: \n\nAshton Woods is an activist in the Black Lives Matter and SGL/GLBT rights movements\, and works tirelessly for equality and to end racism and gender discrimination.  He describes himself as a gay\, atheist\, HIV-positive and “unapologetically black” man who believes that justice must be intersectional.  While none of these things completely define Woods\, they highlight the multiple dimensions that help define his justice work.\nJackie Young\, executive director of Texas Health and Environment Alliance and leader of the San Jacinto River Coalition. See her recent Houston Chronicle op-ed on the San Jacinto waste pits\, a Texans Together feature article about her\, and a Houston Press article about her and her family’s struggle with the effects of the river’s waste pits\, which are now among the top Superfund sites in the US. Also see the Houston Chronicle’s Nick Anderson editorial cartoon series on Jackie and the waste pits: part 1\, part 2\nBren Hardt\, long-time peace activist with Fellowship of Reconciliation\, Creating a Culture of Peace\, Board of Church and Society – Peace with Justice Program of the United Methodist Church\, and Houston Non-Violent Communication (NVC). Bren has initiated and organized training and informational programs for other activist to develop the skills and understanding in ourselves that we need to build a peaceful and just world.\n\nA special recognition will also given to Casa Juan Diego\, that has served immigrants and the poor in Houston for many years. \nLocation\, parking\, How to get there: \nThe festivities will be at the Hilton Hotel on the campus of the University of Houston. Check-in\, with a cash bar and social hour for everyone attending the dinner\, is from 6-7 pm. The dinner and program start at 7 pm. Parking is available in the garage under the UH Hilton Hotel – note that there are TWO parking levels there\, so if the first is full\, go down to the lower level.  There is a UH football game in the afternoon of the dinner\, and fans may be leaving it as people arrive for our dinner\, so allow for some extra time due to traffic. We will have discount parking passes for the UH Hilton garage for $5\, at the dinner check-in area. There is also parking across the street in the UH Welcome Center parking garage (just east of the hotel)\, but it may cost as much as the discounted Hilton garage tickets. \nIt’s also easy to ride Metrorail’s Purple Line to the University of Houston\, and then you won’t have to worry about parking at all. It runs every 12 minutes in both directions on Saturday. The UH South/University Oaks stop is closest to the UH Hilton. \n Map and directions \nAdditional donations not only support the work of HPJC to promote peace and justice\, but also allow us to invite activists of slender means who would not otherwise be able to attend. If you can’t come\, you may join or donate to HPJC instead\, so support our work for peace and justice. Wally James of KPFT plans to record Sonia Nazario’s talk\, and at least that part of our program may be broadcast later on his show\, the Progressive Forum\, Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 pm.
