Friends and Comrades,
You’re invited to the grand opening of CT’s newest
radical space, the Behind the Rocks Infoshop, at 418A
New Britain Ave., Hartford, CT, at the Green Party
office, beginning at 7 PM. Admission is a suggested
$5-10 donation. Film, Discussion, Music.
Saturday, Sept 3rd we’ll be showing “It’s All Lies!”
This fascinating and action-packed documentary looks
at a growing and controversial movement in Israel, the
Anarchists Against the Wall. Demonstrating and
organizing alongside Palestinian villagers who live
daily in the shadow of the “Seperation Fence,”
Anarchists Against the Wall have been a strong force
in bringing debate about the fence and the occupation
in general into Israel’s public sphere.
“It’s All Lies” looks at anarchist direct actions
against the separation barrier in Palestine. In one of
these actions in December 2003, a young Israeli
activist was shot in the legs with live ammunition.
The footage captured calls into question the real role
of the Israeli “Defense” Forces when they start
shooting at one of their own.
We’re also arranging music, including Boston’s
riot-folk musician Evan Greer. His website
(www.evangreer.org) features free downloads of his
unique blend of folk and punk music. Please let us
know if you know of anyone else who might like to come
and perform in a small, intimate venue, whatever the
genre.
But what is an infoshop anyway? An infoshop is a cross
between a radical bookstore, a movement archive, and a
catalyst for organization. Ours will include a small
selection of newly released books, several Lefty
publications, and a lending library, and is named for
the neighborhood in which it resides. We will be in
there everyday Monday-Friday from 6-9 PM renovating
the space.
If you have books, magazines, videos, audio and other
movement-oriented literature or paraphanalia
collecting dust, we would LOVE to have them. Please
drop by at any time at the above mentioned times.
Plenty of parking lot space (ignore the sign) and
on-street parking is available. If you can’t make it,
give us a call and we will arrange something. The
lending library is probably what we view as the most
important part of the whole project (or at least the
most exciting!).
If there’s a publication or book you’d like to see at
the infoshop, let us know and we can work something
out.
And while we’re panhandling, we could also use some
volunteers to work the space. If you’re interested,
let us know what times you’re available and we can
make arrangements.
