Peace & Justice Center Film Showing...In EARTH DAYS, acclaimed director Robert Stone traces the origins of the modern environmental movement through the eyes of nine Americans who propelled the movement from its beginnings in the 1950s to its moment of triumph in 1970 with the original Earth Day, and to its status as a major political force in America.Drawing heavily on eyewitness testimony and a wealth of never before seen archival footage, Stone examines the revolutionary achievements and missed opportunities of a decade of ground- breaking activism. The result is both a poetic meditation on human beings complex relationship with nature and a probing analysis of past responses to environmental crisis.

Learning How to Love: An Evening with Garchen RinpocheGarchen Rinpoche is a Tibetan lama known throughout the world as a teacher of great kindness and vast realization. The Garchen Buddhist Institute in Chino Valley is his heart center, his gift to North America. He is loved by tens of thousands worldwide and he is considered a living buddha.On December 7, H.E. Garchen Rinpoche will be coming to Prescott College for the first time to give teachings on loving-kindness and compassion.To learn more about Garchen Rinpoche or the Garchen Buddhist Institute, go to www.garchen.net.Instead of asking for monetary donations, we are asking everyone to come bearing gifts. Offering a token of gratitude to the teacher, in the Buddhist tradition, is considered one of the most important things we can do in our lifetime, because it establishes a connection between our minds and the mind of the teacher. So appropriate gifts might be a flower, a cookie, a muffin, a stone, a poem, a scarf, a dried leaf... anything small and meaningful is appropriate.To learn more about the December event, email Emily at egwebber@gmail.com, or call her at 717-725-7602.May all being benefit!

Arizona at the Crossroads: Reframing the Dialogue on Culture, Power & Politics in the wake of SB1070 and HB2281With the passage of SB1070 and HB 2281, Arizona has become an epicenter of local, national, and international debate, social justice struggle, and political-economic and cultural change. With the passage of SB1070 and HB2281 everyone’s implicated though many are disproportionately impacted. In this interdisciplinary, undergraduate conference, Prescott College explores the social, cultural and political processes that are vexing Arizona in this moment through a series of keynotes, workshops and presentations. Through research and critical analysis, students will explore and interrogate the changing political landscape of Arizona and the human and environmental impacts that result from these processes. This moment in time reflects ongoing struggles over the determination of identity, access to and production of resources, control over knowledge and the legitimation of dominant social and political systems. Please join us for this interdisciplinary conference on December 11th in the crossroads center.

Geminoids Meteor Shower
Considered by many to be the best meteor shower in the heavens, the Geminids are known for producing up to 60 multicolored meteors per hour at their peak. The peak of the shower this year should occur on the night of December 13 and morning of the 14th, although some meteors should be visible from December 6 - 19. Some estimates say there could be as many as 120 meteors an hour visible from dark-sky locations. The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Gemini. The Moon will set early in the evening setting the sky up for a spectacular show. Best viewing is usually to the east after midnight.

Wednesday the 15th
Peace and Justice Center Film Showing...The 11th HourWith contributions from over 50 politicians, scientists, and environmental activists, including former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai, and journalist Paul Hawken, the film documents the grave problems facing the planet's life systems. Global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats are all addressed.The film's premise is that the future of humanity is in jeopardy. The film proposes potential solutions to these problems by calling for restorative action by the reshaping and rethinking of global human activity through technology, social responsibility and conservation.

Total Lunar Eclipse
The eclipse will be visible throughout most of eastern Asia, Australia, the Pacific Ocean, the Americas, and Europe. The eclipse will be visible after midnight in North and South America. Since the Moon will be almost directly overhead from these locations, this should be an excellent chance to view a rare total lunar eclipse.The Winter Solstice occurs in the northern hemisphere at 23:38 UT. The Sun is at its lowest point in the sky and it will be the shortest day of the year. This is also the first day of winter.

Grown in Detroit - A film about active citizens and community gardens
Detroit has earned its notorious title as one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. due to a struggling automotive industry, increasingly high unemployment, poverty, race issues, vacant houses, high crime rates and decreased public services. Places where houses, factories and schools were once thriving are left abandoned because only half of the city's original population remains.
In the last fifty years, one of the wealthiest cities in America has transformed into one of the most economically and socially challenged. Where residents once had major supermarkets and affordable, healthy dining, now liquor stores sell groceries from behind bullet-proof glass and fast food restaurants are rampant. However, amidst all this negativity, where the press hangs on every story, the city and its residents have surprisingly emerged with their own solution.With the destruction of so many abandoned homes nature has taken over and the city is ‘greening’ from within.

In lieu of a donation, you can also bring a non-perishable food item to contribute to our community food box.

Already have somewhere to go on Turkey Day? No problem! Drop by for second supper, dessert and coffee, or a little bit of holiday social time with the gang. Last-minute decisions to stop in are okay, too. Thanksgiving is a family day and we consider each and every one of you part of our community family.

National Coming Out Day

National Coming Out Day was founded by Robert Eichberg and Jean O'Leary on October 11, 1988 in celebration of the second gay march in Washington D.C. a year earlier. The purpose of the march and of National Coming Out Day is to promote government and public awareness of gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender rights and to celebrate homosexuality. National Coming Out Day is a time to publicly display gay pride. Many choose this day to come out to their parents, friends, co-workers and themselves.

Homosexuality & the Bible, Part 2

Karen Bolda, a Christian author of pro-gay Bible studies, will be our presenter for the two-part series.

This will include clarification on mistranslations of key Bible verses, a new perspective on Sodom and Gomorrah, the history of idol worshipers, and insight into shrine temple priests and eunuchs. The October session will address the five main biblical passages that are most often used to vilify the gay community. Each passage will be explored in detail and new information will be presented to challenge the conventional interpretations of these verses.

August Discussion Topic: “Gender Identity”

A few months ago, PFLAG began hosting a discussion segment as part of its peer support meetings. We’ve talked about the inclusion of gays and lesbians in the 2010 census, the anti-gay adoption bill in the Arizona legislature, and the impact of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. All of these discussions have been interesting and enlightening for PFLAG members and guests alike. PFLAG meetings are open to the entire community, so we hope you’ll join us for one of our upcoming discussions.

The topic for August is “Gender Identity,” which will be facilitated by Erica, a long-time community activist and transgender advocate. Erica (aka Frank, aka Sister Frankly Truself) is lucky enough to have a PFLAG Mom in Prescott and shares this invitation with the community: “I spend my workdays in Phoenix at the state health department working on HIV prevention. Outside of work, I’m a community activist in the GLBTQ world. My interest in gender identity has led to both academic knowledge and

personal experience that I look forward to sharing with the group. Please join me for a broad discussion of such things as pronouns, public restrooms, “passing,” and what it’s like to be at more than one point on the gender continuum. Male? Female? Other? Let’s talk!” We hope you can drop in for this engaging discussion.

Peer support continues to be offered at each PFLAG meeting for anyone who needs it. All meetings are confidential and are facilitated by a member of the PFLAG steering committee. If you’d like more information on the peer support process or are in need of one-on-one PFLAG support, please call the Pride Center at (928) 445-8800 or email

us.

After a sold-out premiere and a successful six-week run in Phoenix, the award-winning documentary 9500 LIBERTY returns to Arizona for a series screenings, free and open to the public. **w/ Spanish subtitles!

*†Director Eric Byler will answer questions following the screening

que había "causa probable" para sospechar que eran inmigrantes indocumentados entró en vigor en Marzo de 2008. Los ciudadanos se unieron para exigir que la ley fuera

rechazada en el enfrentamiento de costosas demandas legales y un impacto económico devastador. Con subtítulos en Español Para obtener más información visite, www.9500Liberty.com To RSVP, email the YWCA at rsvp@ywcatucson.org
