Wednesday, April 4, 3pm-11:30pm Occupy Boston - National Day of Action for Public Transportation, Massachusetts State House

Public transportation is a right and must be accessible to all. Service cuts and fare hikes will have a devastating and disproportionate impact on low-income communities, communities of color, students, workers, seniors and the environment.

We say NO TO PRIVATIZATION of our common resources and NO MORE EXCUSES!

We will not accept any funding strategies that attempt to divide the 99% against each other or shift the burden onto the backs of the 99%: the poor and working classes. End the wars and tax the rich! On April 4th, we will stand together to demand public transportation for the 99%. If our call is not answered and the necessary funds redirected, it will only add to the growing body of evidence that our government no longer represents us.

GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth film and discussion

Part of the 'What Went Wrong" film series sponsored by Occupy Natick

Tuesday April 17, 2012 6:45-9

Morse Institute Library

14 East Central Street

Natick MA 01760

"Water shortages, hunger, peak oil, species extinction, and even increasing depression are all symptoms of a deeper problem – addiction to unending growth in a world that has limits. GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth goes way beyond prescribing Band-Aids to slow the bleeding. This film examines the cultural barriers that prevent us from reacting rationally to the evidence current levels of population and consumption are unsustainable."

Discussion will feature Mike Hanauer, local sustainable living activist and one of the film's producers.
